Things I Did This Weekend

Tried spaghetti squash for the first time.

I made this recipe from Skinnytaste. The first bite tasted like actual spaghetti. Each subsequent bite tasted less like spaghetti.

Ate pizza for three meals.

Discussed an awesome book with my book club.

Bought this fantastic orange purse.

From Charming Charlie, but you can't shop on their website. It looked more coral in the store, but it is actually what my mom would call "fire engine orange." I love it.

And this awesome lace blazer, thanks to a gift card from my mother-in-law.

Side note: wedding ring is at the jewelers since one of the little diamonds was getting loose, everything is fine!

Watched ridiculous movies with a good friend.

FINALLY talked to someone at Home Depot about replacing the upstairs countertop, and then began despairing: a) my capability to do a self-installation, b) the lack of funds we have to order custom new countertops since of course it isn't the standard size, and c) that apparently I'm the only person in the world this countertop paint didn't work for, d) the sales guy thinking I'm tacky because I want to replace the existing laminate countertop with a new laminate countertop because why wouldn't I want marble instead.

Watched way too many How I Met Your Mother re-runs.

How was your weekend?
