Breath of Fresh Air for Betty

This weekend was a breath of fresh air. Not only was it a fun and relaxing weekend, but also it was a THREE day weekend. We were off for Martin Luther King Day! Whoop!

The weekend started with food, as usual. I got this recipe from Jesse's mom. It's chicken pot pie stuff biscuits. So easy... just biscuits, a can of veg-all, cream of mushroom soup, and shredded chicken. I'm a sucker for pastries ( sweet or savory), so these hit my savory spot.

Saturday, it was beautiful outside, so we spent most of the day going for walks. We would walk to the Red Box just to walk. I rented "Tusk," which scarred me. It's a pretty freaky movie, and I had to follow up with something girly, so I watched"If I Stay." 

Other than that, typical boring Saturday chores like cleaning and laundry. We also went to grab a burger at Reggie Burger. Jesse's parents also came for a visit. 

Sunday was Sushi Night at Doc's. Everyone chipped in to bring sushi supplies. I was bummed I couldn't have the raw meat sushi since I'm pregnant, but I could have the crab since it was cooked. Regardless, it was tasty! 

Here's  Doc rolling some sushi. 

Ben getting the bright idea to bread some sushi in Panko and deep fry it. 

Jesse agreeing that is a brilliant idea to fry the sushi. hahah 

Jesse and Ana awaiting the tasties... 

DA- DUM! The main event...we had salmon, crab, tuna, cucumber, cream cheese, avocado, rice, and wasabi, all to choose from to make these delish rolls. 

We, well they, watched "There Will Be Blood" after the dining. I say "they" because preggo over here got too tired and fell asleep during the movie. MY BAD! I know it's a good movie, but preggo sleepiness is no joke. Plus, it was like midnight, which is 3 hours past my bed time. #geriatric 

I did make time to craft this weekend. My friend Erin hooked me up with many craft supplies for my birthday. She knows what I like, because she hit the jackpot! She also gave me a handcrafted ornament, a scrunchie, and turban headbands. 

I used some of the craft supplies to make a baby headband. 

A while ago, I bought these small frames at the Dollar Store. They had standard " Love, Happiness" japanese prints in them, but I took the prints out and re-used the frames. I made some mushroom art for the kitchen using the fabric and yarn Erin gifted me.

There are actually two of these hanging for a the symmetrical zen aspect I want in my place.

My mom came down on Monday. It was another beautiful day. Jes and I both had haircuts scheduled. Mom, me, and Holly all visited for a while, then we went to do the hair cut thing. I imagine it was boring for mom and Holly to sit there waiting on us...that's true love. hahah 

Mom also brought me some maternity clothes, which I have desperately been needing. I've been searching for a while now for maternity pants. I never have any luck, either the butt pockets are too low, the legs are too baggy, the pant leg drags the ground, or it just fits awkwardly. 

She found me some jeans that actually fit and do not drag the ground! She got me a dress and a shirt as well. I'm so glad because it is slim pickins in my wardrobe these days. 

Mom did tell me our baby shower is themed ALICE IN WONDERLAND! YAY! It's going to be in a tea room, and we are having a legit tea party. We even get to wear hats! She showed me the diaper cake she made and it's adorable. it has these collector Funko Alice and Wonderland stuffed animals on it! 

We went to lunch at Olive Garden too. As always, it was YUMMY! They had to go home after that because Holly's boyfriend was coming over to *Smooch * smooch*. Jk. They were going to watch Titanic. Although, I'm sure they did some smooching too. 

Speaking of, Jesse is getting some smooches from the pooches. 

We finally got our internet and Netflix to work, so we spent the rest of the afternoon binge watching Netflix and lounging in our PJ's. We tend to do a lot of that. But hey, I'm trying to get all the rest in that I can before baby morrow arrives.
