WEEKEND RECAP

I’m posting my weekend recap a little late since I’ve been so busy at work lately. I can’t wait for this week to be over. I have all of next week off! Two holidays and I’m taking three vacation days. I can’t wait!!!

Friday
My husband had poker night with the guys so I took advantage and did some shopping that night. I came home, wrapped some gifts and fell asleep on the couch with the heater on and a blanket over me. *sigh* My kind of night.

Saturday
Ever since I mentioned that I absolutely LOVE bread pudding, Nanette had mentioned that Urth Café in Santa Monica has a delicious version and that I had to try it. Ever since she mentioned this place, it seems that I heard about 5-7 people talking about Urth Café. People couldn’t believe I hadn’t been there yet. I wanted to ensure that we got our share of bread pudding (since I also heard it sells out fairly early). So on Saturday morning, I woke up at 6:15am, left my apartment at 7:20am and met up with my friends Nanette and Kay at 8:00am at Urth Café…all in the name of bread pudding! :) I also had a cup of Chai tea and the three of us shared their fruit plate. Nanette did not lie…the bread pudding was absolutely amazing!!! You can have it with your choice of baked bananas or baked apples. We all went with the baked apples…Y-U-M!!!!! It was SO good. If this place wasn’t so far, I’m sure I would have gone back the next morning for more! I had a great time having breakfast with them and I’m hoping we can do it again soon.




Later that evening, we had a family party to attend for my husband’s aunt. She was celebrating her birthday. We were there for a couple hours and then all the cousins decided to join us to see the Christmas lights in Naples. Gerric and I did this one year together and we had so much fun. The houses are beautiful! We had a great time doing it again this year.




Sunday
My dad’s birthday was on Sunday and we all celebrated by going to their house and having breakfast. My mom made a well-known Mexican dish called “pozole” and she also made her amazing carrot cake. I was stuffed by the time we left. Gerric and I ran errands the rest of the day and we ended the evening by finally trying out the newest frozen yogurt shop to open up near our apartment…YogurtBerry. I really enjoyed it because like Alyssa, I’m not picky when it comes to frozen yogurt since I love it in all flavors and all shapes & sizes!


Monday
I’ve been working out again with my personal trainer so other than a kick a*s workout last night, I finished up some shopping and went home.

This week cannot go by fast enough! And in case you’re all wondering, no baby nephew has arrived yet. We’re all waiting at the edge of our seats and praying for a healthy delivery. I’ll be sure to update once the little one arrives safely!
