Weekend Recap: 3/7-3/8

I got call old at the bar this weekend. Yes, a 23 year old called me old.

And yeah I kinda guess to a slightly tipsy 23 year old being 25 is old. 

Sunday, I was officially 90 days away from the big 2-5. 

YOUR MID TWENTIES. THE DOWNWARD SLID TO 30.

[I kid, I kid.]

I've been fighting the personal demon I can't seem to shake of close friends moving on to different stages of life and feeling like I'm being left behind. And this weekend was no different. I was content with bringing files of work home, getting Jason's Deli to go, and sitting on my ass with a Redbox marathon. And then I realized that I'm [still] 24, live smack dab in the middle of downtown, and need to get my butt out there instead of just ranting about it to mom. 

And that's exactly what I did. 

And it was awesome.

After standing in line at ACME for exactly 30 seconds, we made the executive decision to move the party over to Midtown for some ReBar fun and Bushwackers all around. I saw guys I grew up with, sorority sisters, and an ex from the summer. A very well rounded night indeed. 

Sunday was full of spring freshening for the house, budget book updating for me, and a very much needed 4pm mass date with mom. 

What's that thing they say, a Sunday well spent brings a week of content?

Friday 3/6

#swaggy

Your team at work becomes your family.

You're the first ones in the office [after running into each other at Starbucks] and the last ones [laughing all the way to your cars] out together. You celebrate each other's birthdays, promotions, raises, weddings, and babies. You work weekends together and party hard at Christmas party together. And in this case, you share a desk/playlists/Target carts on lunch/and laughs together. 

The best part of this whole story is that I thought Maggie didn't like me when I first started at Whitehardt [boys in college are dumb.] And now I can't imagine work without her. 

So here's a post and a toast to Maggie aka Swaggy.

Go get 'em!

What I'm Watching Wednesday

I did a post like this a couple months ago and it pulled some awesome views so I figured I'd give it another shot. This one's a little mix of TV and movies with some movies I've got on my watch list.

First up, ABC Family's series Baby Daddy.

This was a Netflix "why not, it's Saturday night and I'm not tired" choice and now I'm addicted.

If you were a Reba fanatic like I was you, you'll be happy to know Barbara Jean is back as Ben's mom and Emma's grandmother. And, yes she still has the best facial expressions of all time.
Not to mention, hot guys being cute with a precious baby..

Next, an Oscar darling this year, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Mom and Dad are Wes Anderson fans and connoisseurs of quirky movies so it was no surprise to me when they recommended this flick. I watched it Oscar Sunday and laughed the whole way through. This is a great movie that you can watch over and over and pick up something new to laugh at every time.

Saved the best for last, two words: Don Jon.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt wrote, directed, and stared in this movie and I absolutely loved it.
I had been wanting to see it since I saw the trailer and somehow never got around to it.
So, once again, on a lazy Saturday night in I found it on Netflix and I might have to add it to my top ten list after seeing it.
[side note: if you watch the trailer, the plot is nothing like they make it look like. It's SO much better.]



Oh yeah, and you get to see him shirtless a ton.

On the Queue:
Whiplash
Foxcatcher
Nightcrawler

Any good recommendations to add?!

#HappilyEverParisi

The Notebook might have had 365 letters and an epic rain make out scene but Noah and Ali have nothing on Sarah and Jim. I was sorority sisters with Sarah in collge [ZLAM] but we didn't become as close as we are now until I started working at Whitehardt. Her, now husband, Jim is such a genuine awesome guy and has treated me like his little sister.

I had the honor of watching them get married this weekend and can't wait for this chapter of their lives to start!
