Well my friends, the weekend is finally here! I am super excited about hanging out with Lolly for the next few days. It's been forever since we had best friend time together.

Eats

Brekkie

Starbucks Egg White Turkey Bacon Whole-grain Sandwich and a Iced Grande Nonfat Vanilla Latte.

Actually will never order breakfast like this from Starbucks again. SO not worth it, but I wasn't feeling up to a wheatgrass detox. AND I really miss the spinach on egg and cheese sandwiches.

I really need to get over my Starbucks addiction... again!

Dessert

Lolly baked some cute little cupcakes! She calls them Neapolitan Cupcake Sandwiches. And they are gluten-free!

Lunch

Leftover Panang Chicken with Brown Rice from Ban Thai.

Dinner

Lolly made me dinner... it was delicious!

Cool Cucumber Sandwich.

Something about the combination of cool cucumber, tomatoes and crispy bacon on whole grain bread... it's mouth-watering.

Drinks

La's Rose Colored Glasses Drink.

Every girl needs a signature drink named after her!

Then we headed to The 8th Avenue Pub to hang out for the rest of the evening.

Yes, this is my "go anywhere" dress!

I tried some other kind of beer, but ended up starting off with a classic Yuengling.

And then another Yuengling, then a Blue Moon.

We headed back to Lolly's after that and were excited about our beach day in the morning.

Saturday, May 15th
Beach days. Sun rays. Blue skies. Dragon flies.

I pretty much skipped everything... but I re-applied my sunscreen about 4 times and didn't get burnt at all.

Eats

Brekkie

Iced Coffee (cream/sugar), Pancakes, Eggs and Bacon from the Venus Restaurant in Largo on the way to the beach.

To DIE for! Topped with some syrup and ate a little more than half.

Eh, I ate a few bites of eggs and 1 slice of bacon.

The beach was no less than amazing. Sand Key Beach has a lot of shells in the sand. It's not as powdery white as Clearwater or St. Pete Beach. But the traffic was minimal and we found parking easily. The skies were clear (except for those pesky man-made lines) with a strong breeze.

The only bad thing was the dragon flies everywhere!!! They were HUGE.

Mike caught a dragon fly on his hand. He sat there for a few minutes.

I did not want to leave the beach... I think I could have stayed until the sun went down just lounging in the sand, swimming in the salty water and soaking up the rays. We're going to try to go again next Saturday too.

Lunch

Picnic Chicken Pita + added romaine. Oh and there was a margarita on the rocks somewhere in there as well... with lots of rocks!

Recipe Review!!

This one is a keeper. I never would have thought about mixing broccoli with chicken, cheese and bacon and then stuffing it in a sandwich. It was delicious and La had it ready in 20 minutes flat.

After picking up Roxy and recouping from the beach (a day in the Florida sun takes a lot out of you) I met up with Caroline and Logan, her new baby. He is a heart breaker already! SO friggin' cute!!!

Dinner

Shared this Greek Salad and Hummus and Pita with Caroline.

Dessert

1/2 of this Chocolate Baklava.

And a bite of Caroline's Tiramisu.

Then I headed over to Matty & Vally's place to help them pack up a few things for their move. They just bought the most spectacular home in Safety Harbor. It's a very exciting time. I am so happy for them!

Later, I did have 1/2 a glass of wine and a few more bites of a Picnic Chicken Pita sandwich before heading back to my Dad's to turn in for the night.

Sunday, May 16th

First thing of the day was to get in a real workout... and then run some of those errands I've been putting off. I got my car cleaned (boy, did it need it) and bought 4 brand new tires (it rides SO much better now). Of course it started raining as soon as I got to the tire place with a sparkling clean car! I finished up the rest of my errands (returns and exchanges) then came home for an excellent dinner.

Roxy went everywhere with me... and only barked a few times. She's such a great little traveler!
