The Weekender

Posted on the 05 September 2011 by Thesecretlifeofjen

We started the weekend with a trip to Costco.  Mr. J and I needed to stock up on nibblies for our housewarming the next day.  We always spend so much when we go :S  I think the whole saving thing is lost on us!!  But we got lots of good bulk nibblies – my fave had to be the ‘poppycock’ – Caramel covered popcorn with almonds and pecans.  Not good to have it in the house – don’t do it!  ;)

We dropped off the shopping and then ventured out to find brunch.  I wish we hadn’t :S  We ended up at the Central Cafe, which I would basically call a truck stop!  I ordered a small(!) bacon and eggs.  Let me tell you it was not small, and it came with fries!  It was pretty oily, and I was glad I had only had an apple for breakfast to even things out…

Then the hunt was on (again) for bedside tables.  I cannot believe how hard this has been!  We found a good pair in Fyshwick, but they wouldn’t sell the display ones, and ordering would take 3-4 weeks.  Not happy.  We tried a few other places, but with no luck I think we will have to go back there.  I hate buying from sales reps with bad customer service just out of principle!

Mr. J and I spent the rest of Saturday getting ready for the housewarming, cleaning, washing etc.  I made us honey soy roast chicken with sweet potato fries and green beans for dinner.  Pretty good I reckon!

Sunday I started the day with 30 Day Shred level 3.  I love starting the day like this – If only I was a morning person and could do it during the week(!)

After that it was last minute preparations, buying ice, etc and a quick brunch of a poached egg on a wholemeal english muffin.

Then it was an afternoon of relaxing with friends :)
