I admit it. I have been a bit M.I.A. from blogging and the blog world lately. Why? Well, mostly because I’m just a busy bee right now and any downtime that I do get I have been trying to just relax. The other reason? Well, I just don’t really have anything too fun to talk about! I’ve been packing, hanging out with Petrie and eating random, unattractive food from our freezer and cupboard. I know, be jealous. Well, at least about the Petrie portion because she is a pretty awesome dog, talk about a personality
Anyway, to give you an idea of what we spent our weekend doing…
Bare to the bones. We’ve only left out the necessities for the next few days. See mom? Aren’t you proud? 
There are a few things that I wish I would have had the ability to photograph this past weekend. Friday night we went out to a restaurant in Uptown called Wakame which had a menu item after my heart…

Panang Curry |

stewed with our delicious coconut milk and peanut butter sauce, bell peppers and kaffir leaves |
In case you didn’t catch it… peanut butter sauce people. I ordered my dish with tofu and a spice level of 3. Mike lived on the edge and got a heat level of 5; one bite of his dish and I was tearing up. I couldn’t do it.
During dinner Mike asked why I order tofu instead of chicken or beef when we are out for Chinese or Thai which I thought was very observant on his part, dang! There is something about how the Chinese/Thai restaurant cook their tofu that makes it perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I’m thinking they may crisp the outside by cooking the tofu with a solid amount of oil. Maybe we’ll just keep it at that, I probably don’t want to know how it’s cooked!
Saturday included packing, delicious burgers and ended with a firework show put on by the city that we watched from our roof. What a great memory to leave with! It also made up for our firework-less 4th of July. Oh, Saturday also included trying coconut water for the first time… not a fan. Maybe I have to try it again but definitely don’t get what all the rage is about.
Sunday included more packing, purchasing a sleigh bed (!!) and finally hanging out with Petrie and eating a McDonald’s ice cream cone. Don’t hate, they are seriously legit.
So what does this week hold for me? Well, ready? Here we go…
Tonight- Bachelorette, Men Tell All. Priorities people.
Tomorrow- Orthopedic appointment for my knee. Finish any last minute packing needs.
Wednesday- Last day of work for the week which makes me feel a bit overwhelmed. I should note that a bunch of my big projects have big things falling while I am out Thurs/Fri. Fun Monday next week I bet for this girl. Also my brother and mom fly in. Yayyyy! 
Thursday- Moving boxes and smaller things to the new pad.
Friday- The movers we hired move the rest of our load and the cleaning lady comes to clean our old place. Yes, we are that lazy.
Saturday- Drive to my cousins out of town wedding and boogy the night away.
Sunday- Unpack and get settled in.
Monday- Mom and brother leave.
WHEWWW. Long rambling post. Nope, definitely not mentally here. Okay, with that, I am off to decompress from the day.
Who is excited for The Bachelorette tonight?? Have you tried coconut water? What are your thoughts?
I haven’t tried coconut water, but I’ve been dying to hear what someone I know thinks of it, since sometimes there is definitely a disconnect between the rest of the internet and my reality.
I can’t wait to see what your new place looks like! I hate moving, but it will be so lovely to think of you, Petrie and Mike all-together in one place!
I like coconut water but it’s so expensive! Good luck with the move!
Holy boxes lady!! And with a week like that, you’re going to blink and be all moved in, hopefully!
Asian restaurants know tofu, for sure. And you’re dead on, we definitely don’t wanna know their secrets!!!
Good luck with everything this week- I’m glad you don’t feel forced to bog when ya don’t have much to share- I’m with ya on that!!
Yall sure have been busy packing!!
I love how chinese restaurants cook tofu too!! Way better than when I try to do it at home, that’s for sure!
McD’s ice cream cones are the BEST!!
moving is the pits! but totally refreshing once you’re all settled in.
i taped the bachelorette. can’t wait to see some drama, drama, drama. and hopefully hear justin’s story. i liked him. and eh, frank! what in the world was his situation all about?
never tried to the coconut water-but i would like to.
oh moving…gotta love it (ugh!)
i love coconut water! it’s seriously the best “after a night out” cure everrrr too haha
try the ones flavored w/ pineapple or passion fruit, maybe you’ll like those more?
ummm totally can’t wait to see who ali picks (if anyone?) next week! i heard some rumors now flying that she does in fact pick roberto but we shalllll seeeeeee!
I think I only like the pineapple flavored coconut water and only as a hangover cure.
I also love the bachelorette. Clearly I have classy tv preferences.
Ohh, pineapple coconut water? Now we are talking! Thanks lady, you’ve got my back.
Whew…what a busy lady!! Hang in there – hope things settle in for you soon! Also, I’m not crazy about coconut water.
