aahhh...another great weekend

After a particularly crazy week of working through lunch breaks to go the extra mile for displays I had yet another awesome relaxing weekend. On Friday I felt like a real New Yorker as a sped straight from work to my friend Chafin's modern dance performance. I got to the lower east side about a half hour early so I grabbed a slice of pizza and waited for Chrissy to join. After our pizza we walked over to The wild project which is a gallery space that plays hosts different art events. On this particular night there were 5 modern dance performances that blew our minds. We had known Chafin from our freshman year of college and frequently loved watching him and our other dance friends perform but have yet to see him perform since. His piece, which he choreographed and performed in with three others, was thought provoking, inspiring, entertaining, hysterical, deep, and of course filled with immense talent.

After the show we joined all the performers down the street at Sigmund's which during their happy hour serves up a free gourmet pretzel of your choosing with your beer. Chrissy and I chose the churro pretzels and were deeply in lust with it. 

On Saturday Mike and I spent some quality time at Sweet Afton after a Thursday and Friday night apart. He had the chicken and bisquits with a bloody Mary and I had the pimento cheese B.E.L.T and a screwdriver that was one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of sipping on so we decided to recreate the recipe at home later that day. 

It called for vodka, hefeweizen, ginger, honey, and orange juice over a tall glass of ice. I garnished mine with blueberries.

After a relaxing, rainy afternoon of roasting beets and watching stand up comedy and house of cards we attempted to go bowling however it seems everyone in Astoria had the same idea. Since we didn't want to be on the wait list for an hour we decided to postpone it for another day.

Sunday morning consisted of home made multigrain pancakes with fruit and yogurt and church via Rock City.

If you want to know what I've accomplished at work this week with the help of my handy dandy assistant take a look below. This upcoming week is the last week of our spring interior roll out and the week after we get started on prepping for the windows!
