Weekend Musings + A Giveaway

Weekending

My weekend started out with a little shopping thanks to a fellow blogger (sorry the blog is escaping me) mentioning the amazing Graphic T-Shirts on sale at Old Navy!! If you remember from this post, I have been wanting a graphic shirt for quite some time and with prices as low as $10, I just couldn’t pass it up!

I ended up getting this J’Adore one, but this one and this one might also need to be purchased!! 

Gary dragged me toEngadet Live in Boston on Friday night and while “techy” things are not really my thing, I was able to test out Google Glass and sort of geeked out!! If you’re curious what a tech conference is like – imagine hundreds of people like the cast of The Big Bang Theory all in one room!

We had a late lunch at the Yard House near Fenway – I had no idea how many locations they have across the US.  The rest of Saturday was pretty productive making space and putting together the bar cart mentioned on Friday – we’re still waiting on final parts, but it’s coming together!

Netflix may not have the best selection of movies, but this one was entertaining! From the name of the movie you wouldn’t guess what it’s about – but lets just say it’s very graphic! 

The rosΓ© we had was out of this world and sadly can only be purchased from the Boston Winery locally! It’s a “mom & pop” operation, but this bottle did not last us long! 

Sunday I was invited to participate in a Blog & Tweet event aboard the Odyssey Cruise Line and while the full review is coming later this week – we had a gorgeous day and I had to share a few pictures!

Full on Belgian Waffle Bar

Pretty great view! 

I’m so excited to start this Monday off with a giveaway for you all!! My good friend Marissa from Go Chic Yourselfhas offered to giveaway one of her already pre-made prints or a custom print for one of my readers. You can see some of her great prints via her etsy shop and the pop fizz clink already has a spot above my new bar cart!!

a Rafflecopter giveaway




Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you all have a wonderful Monday!!

    More than one Sheldon in a room, I don't know how that is possible!!! The Yard House is so good. The one in Dedham is always packed though so I almost never go. That movie might be the reason for Gwen's divorce?! πŸ˜‰

    It sounds like such a great weekend. I laughed at the comment about the tech conference being like the Big Bang Theory. That's such a funny image.

    What did you think of Yard House? There is one in Atlanta and I was torn between there and another place and we chose the other place but I still had it on my list of places to try when we go back.

    What a great deal on that shirt! Cute!

    Also, I think the tech conference thing sounds fun! I am always interested to see what new stuff is out. Nerd status over here.
