weekend

Oh man, I had a busy (but good!) weekend. Sometimes I feel like I need a weekend from my weekend!

On Friday I learned that you should not attempt to buy guacamole on Cinco de Mayo. Rob and I were going to a friend’s for dinner (he was making carnitas, grilled shrimp, watermelon margaritas and agua fresca — YUM!) and I was in charge of bringing guacamole. OF COURSE I thought I could pick it up right before we headed over but we hit 2 grocery stores and couldn’t find a single package of guacamole. How was I supposed to know that guacamole would be sold out?!? HEH.

On Saturday morning, I headed over to Bliss Spa for a facial (Rob’s treat!). Mmmm. I also figured I should get a brow wax since I’ve never had one before and wanted to see if it would make a difference. OMG. I can’t handle the pain. I am SUCH a wimp. I liked the results (made my eyes less “droopy” looking) but… EEEKK. I don’t know if I can do that again.

Then today, Rob and I had a wedding to attend. Is it just me or is it a little strange to hold a wedding on a Sunday and at 5:00pm at that?! Maybe if it’s a long weekend or something… but people have work the next day! Well whatever, it was a great event. The ceremony and the reception were at the Mitchell Katz Winery in Pleasanton, which was so pretty. Acres and acres of grapevines surrounded the event center and the roses in the gardens were so bright and colorful. I’m such a sap that as the bridal party walked down the aisle, I started tearing up. I can’t help it! I love weddings.

  1. Oh that does sound like a fun weekend! Good food, a spa, and a wedding. Those are some big events.
    I hate tweezing and plucking my eyebrows so for me the only option is to wax them. Everything else hurts too much.

  2. Sorry but I’m laughing at your Cinco de Mayo story 🙂 I love getting my eyebrows waxed, even though I’m a wuss too. I just can’t equal the results of a good wax with plucking on my own. It just doesn’t work for me.
    PS: A wedding late Sunday afternoon is weird :S

  3. I’ve always wanted to go to Bliss!
    You know, the pain factor dimishes, I swear. But I’ve heard that you can take Tylenol before the waxing or buy some over-the-counter skin numbing cream. It is much easier to wax than do the plucking. 🙂
