Hello there! I've had a great weekend. Friday night Bob & I went to my parent's for my birthday party. All my grandparents, and my one aunt & uncle were also there. Satuday I went to New York City for the day with Bob. The weather was just absolutely perfect! It was so sunny & warm, but not humid. This weeked has felt so much like summer! We went to a few stores, and had dinner and drinks at Sugar Factory. The only thing I bought was a Cat Studio New York dish towel. I'm not actually going to use it as a dish towel; Cat Studio dish towels are too nice and cute to do that! I have a few of them, and I drape them over tables and chests.
And then last night we went to a bar with my friend and one of Bob's friends. We stayed out late, got home a little after 2:00.
Today I cleaned the apartment, did laundry, talked on the phone to my sister, and ran to Target. Bob made my favourite meal for dinner for me tonight; tomato tart. Bob's family is stopping over tonight, too.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my pie dress from Modcloth. I love shirt dresses, I wish I had more!

Hello there! I had a great time in NYC yesterday. I'm a little sore from all the walking, though. And it really tired me out! By the time we got on the train to go home, I was feeling it. As usual, when I go into the city, I didn't find hardly anything to buy. I got two pairs of tights, and a yellow skinny belt. I have been looking ALL OVER for a bright yellow skinny belt, but, was having no luck in months. I finally found this one, being sold by a street vendor. And it was $5! Pretty awesome. I got a great deal on the tights, too. I bought them at Macy*s, for $2.50 each. LOVE a great deal!
We ate an early dinner and had drinks at Sugar Factory. Sugar Factory is my fav restaurant ever. I first found out about it when I went to it in Las Vegas. I was SO happy when they opened on in NYC this past April!
They have the best drinks. My two favourites are the Hubba Bubba Martini, which has Hubba Bubba bubblegum on the top of the drink on a chopstick and pop rocks on the rim, and my other fav is the Blow Pop Martini. That one has pop rocks on the rim, and a blow pop in the drink. These drinks are $16 a pop, plus tax! So, they are very pricey, but it's worth it, when I only go there about twice a year.

Well, the weekend is here once again! Last night, Bob and I went to Bethlehem Brew Works, and his friend Will met us there. It wasn't too packed, which is nice. We had a good time. Last time I was there I had skittle martinis. When I got there last night and looked at the drink menu, I saw that the skittle martini wasn't on the martini list. I asked the bartender, and luckily he could still make it, but they just didn't have skittles to put in it. That was fine with me, it still tasted just as good as last time! So very sweet tasting, which I love. The sweeter, the better. Also, they are very reasonable, as far as martinis go. $7.50 a pop.
We didn't get any food this time. But, I've had food twice there, and it's very good. Last time I ate there, I had a soft pretzel, with beer cheese sauce to dip it in. I wasn't sure if I'd like the sauce, since I don't like beer! Ha. But, both the pretzel and sauce were GREAT!
Today, I'll be doing the usual Saturday activities I do: cleaning the apartment, laundry, working out, going to Target. I may run to Marshall's and JoAnn Fabrics, too. Bob's brewing beer at his parent's house tonight, so I'll be staying home.
Sugar Factory opened in NYC yesterday! I can NOT wait to go! It's only the second location of the bar/restaurant to open. The first is in Vegas. It's one of my fav spots in Vegas. They have amazing martinis. It's great to now have one so close to us! To get NYC it takes us about two hours total, since we drive to the train station in Dover- which is half an hour away, and then the train takes about an hour and a half. We wouldn't drive in, it's too crazy/too much traffic to drive there!
Tomorrow I'm making chocolate oatmeal cookies. They're soooo good! One of my fav cookies ever. My Mom gave me the receipe. Bob loves them too. I haven't made them in a few months.His birthday is coming up so soon! It's Thursday. Guys are so hard to shop for! Ugh. I've asked him a few times what he wants, but he didn't give me any suggestions.
So, I've started looking at fabric online. I've found so many great, cute designs! Mostly on etsy.com. I asked my Mom yesterday if she would make me a dress, and she said yes ha. So, once I get a pattern and order fabric, she'll be able to start. She's a great sewer/knitter/etc. I never learned how to sew or knit. I should have. Here's some fabrics I really like:
And here's some pics of an outfit:
Top: Macy*s (Cable & Gauge brand)
Tank: Express
Jeans: Target (Merona brand)
Sandals: Modcloth
Necklace: Francesca's Collections
Watch: Modcloth
I love the top I'm wearing! I love how bright it is, and the design is neat.
~Bye for now!
