If only life was made up solely of weekends.

Friday night, I made bruschetta linguine for dinner, which is one of the first times that I’ve made up my own recipe for something. It was pretty good. I sautéed minced garlic and onions and then added halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil for just a couple of minutes at the end, mixed it with some olive oil and added it to the linguine, with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. It really did taste like bruschetta, in pasta-form.

Then Funnel and I went to Easton for some shopping.

I’ve told you before about my obsession with the lovely but out-of-my-price-range Anthropologie. LOVE IT. I have two gift cards there that I got for Christmas and I was dying to use them. So we went, and I was looking for a summery dress, but we ended up buying these pink stackable mugs (that go perfectly with all the sage-green and pink stuff I’ve been buying for our future sage-green & pink kitchen in our future house) and this brown and white plate:

 

The plate was originally $28, but we got it for $3.99! The mugs were a steal too.

The best part was that Funnel wanted me to save my gift cards for something for me instead of something for us, so there will be more Anthropologieness in the future!

Saturday was Peab’s graduation party. It was a fun time. Lovely weather, spent most of the day outside, got to hang out with friends and friends and ended the night with a bon-fire and the burning of a very dried-out Christmas tree.

 

Sunday, we accidentally overslept, and then I spent the bulk of the day in my pajamas, playing Mario-Kart with Funnel, with a short break for a round of frolf and a mango Italian ice from Rita’s (thanks to Sarah’s recommendation…its way healthier, and even more delicious than ice cream!). I am obsessed with the new Mario-Kart, especially since you can play it online with people from all over the world (I played against Canadians, Mexicans and the French!)

The weekend before this one was fun too… we went to the Asian Festival downtown and saw Sumo Wrestling and we also went to a Break-Dancing competition at OSU!

Here’s a fun picture of Michaela and me from Memorial Day:

 

Lastly, the baby geese that live in the pond next to our apartment are almost full-grown and there seem to be so many more of them!
