What I Instagramed This Weekend

My solution to crappy lighting is to instagram everything. Which isn’t entirely realistic considering I don’t have a smartphone of any sort. But I think Joey is getting used to me commandeering his iPhone and referring to it as “mine.”

Anyways, this weekend was such a good one, filled with holiday festivities galore. Now, that’s my kind of weekend! Let’s take a look at what I instagramed, shall we?

Friday afternoon surprise = a package from Shanna of Shanna Like Banana.

Full of eggnogy goodies and tea!

Friday night dinner = Hapa Sushi

We tried to get in at The Med, but a 2-hour wait doesn’t really work for me. We went to Hapa instead and got sat right away, plus we hadn’t been to what used to be one our favorite restaurants in probably a year! The horror. My sushi craving is officially satisfied.

Friday night entertainment = “a live radio play” version of It’s a Wonderful Life, put on by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.

I had reservations about seeing a radio play, but the CSF actors are always so great, I figured this would be good too. Although not as exciting as watching them act things out, I thought it was so cool to see them make all the sound effects and use different voices for different characters.

Saturday involved shopping in new boots.

Lunch at Mod Market.

LOVE Mod Market.

Curried Split Pea Soup + Edamame Hummus Sandwich.

And Sunday was all about Gingerbread Men.

Man down!

Oh and the last exciting purchase on Saturday was an early Christmas present to ourselves… a new laptop! And not just any laptop, a MacBook Pro!

We’ve been saving since my laptop stopped working at the beginning of the year, so we’re pretty excited and Joey’s been wanting to go Mac for a while. It’s been quite the learning experience so far and now I know how my dad feels when he calls and asks me things like “how do I save something?” or “where did my document go after I saved it?”

And I’m not going to lie, I’m really missing Windows Live Writer right now. I’m currently using Ecto, but it’s just not the same. Anyone with a Mac who can recommend a good free blog writing service?

Happy Monday!
