Weekend Relaxation

What I desperately needed this weekend was a lot of relaxation and time spent on myself. Work has been sucking the life out of me and I just needed to rejuvenate. And that I did.

Friday night I met my friends at a bar on the Lake and had a margarita followed by a beer or two. It was so nice to just laugh and enjoy the music and drinks on a pretty summer night. I really do appreciate hanging out with my friends and it made me so happy.

Saturday morning I woke up and went to the farmers market with my dad. It's one of our favorite things to do together, and we got so much fresh food, it's almost ridiculous.

I love it there and it's so exciting to come home with so much fresh food to cook with. For dinner we had lemon pepper talapia with fresh zucchini and green beans. I die.

After the market, my dad and I stopped for bagels and coffee at Brueggers, another one of my favorites. I swear they have the best iced coffee in Rochester.

My mom and I spent the afternoon at the Pittsford Plaza buying a few groceries (sunbutter, pretzel rolls and kettle corn) at Trader Joe's and then spent a lot of time at Marshall's and T.J. Maxx.

And my shoe shopping obsession finally came to an end. For months now I have been searching for a pair of sandals remotely similar to the J. Crew Mari Sandals. As in, a neutral pair of heels. I looked everywhere and then some more, and today at Marshall's I found these Franco Sarto ones. Perfection. (These are a little similar).

Now I just need somewhere to wear them.

And then I came home and me and Andrew took separate naps in different rooms of my house. Yes.

Sunday morning I woke up to my dad's homemade pancakes. My absolute favorite. And then the entire family (plus Andrew and Edwin) headed to the outlets where I picked up two pairs of shorts and three tees. There was so much more that I wanted, but I couldn't bring myself to buy anything knowing I will be at the Kate Spade outlet in Rehoboth.

It was also super hot. After we got back (and I inhaled half the food in our pantry) we headed over to our close friend, Ryan's house to swim and soak some sun. It was exactly what I needed.

This weekend was perfect and exactly what I needed. Now I just need to push through these next few weeks before we escape to Maryland for a whole week.
