So. Weekends. They’re awesome. Even when they’re exhausting. And present unexpected problems. And then.
Friday: A lazy evening. After watching a movie at home in the afternoon, we decided to venture to a place with better AC and watch another movie. I mean I’ll never object to movie going and never ever object to excellent AC. After the movie we came home, relaxed and called it a night.
Saturday: Sleep things, errand running, TV watching and all that jazz before going to a BBQ at a friends house. Well not really BBQ but more like come over and eat food and catch up kind of thing. And it was awesome. It was so nice to see friends I hadn’t seen in months and just catch up. The rest of our night was spent fending off headaches and heat exhaustion with wine and more movie watching and it was superb.
Sunday: Woke up surprisingly early and got things done. It was SO WEIRD. Before I knew it, it was time for us to head to Newport Beach for an engagement/birthday party. We made our way before we didn’t anymore. Matt’s car lost power (does that sound scary? Because it is scary & luckily my husband was calm and collected and a champ) while we were in the carpool lane and somehow he managed to get us across five lanes on the freeway and over to the shoulder. Seriously, he’s my hero.
After lots of talking, sulking AAAing we arrived at the party, Matt’s car on a tow truck, us with his dad.
Thanks to the magic of margaritas and good company we enjoyed the party! (well I did, Matt worried about his car, for good reason). There was lots of well wishes and birthday cake and just a lovely afternoon.
Also, Matt’s little buddy Bryce was quite the afternoon entertainment again. Seriously, they are a cute duo.
Eventually we left the party and made our way home where I was too tired to blog (clearly) and rather lazily enjoyed bad TLC programming and some Shark Week thing where I’m pretty sure nightmares come from.
And how was your weekend? No big car-tastrophes I hope? Surviving the heat?
happy tuesday!

Yikes, so sorry to hear about the car. What a mess! I lost power once on an on-ramp to the highway and it was SO SCARY. Glad you were able to have a good time despite the troubles.
My weekend was a blur.. library, pool time, sea lion show, and a total nap on Sunday afternoon.
UGH. Ugh to the car part of your weekend.
weekend was good, still need to blog about it, obvy. but i’m with you on the shark week nightmare thing – i hate it!
Boo to the broken car, yay to the weekend! Let’s have another weekend and no more broken cars.
Wow his car lost power? I would have freaked out. I’ve never heard of that happening before! Glad you guys are safe.
Oh, I am the queen of broken cars! I feel so bad that you guys had to deal with this. I hate car problems. But it looks like you still had a lot of fun. I’m notorious for crying when something goes wrong with my car. I think its just that I ALWAYS have something happening- pretty much since I started driving, so anytime something new happens, I’m like, “I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE!” I need to stop whining though, because honestly, my car luck has been so much better in the past year. Fingers crossed.
