This weekend was a busy, but FUN one.
Thursday (what I consider the “first” day of the weekend) was a busy day. I worked for a couple hours, went to the gym, and then got ready for the men’s basketball game vs. Utah. Pregame popcorn is a win.
The game was out by 10 pm and it was perfect time to meet up with friends for a night out. It’s always so convenient having hair and makeup done for the night. I’ve also gotten used to living in red lipstick ha.
I went to my first big frat party of the semester (feelin’ a little too old for these nowadays) and it was actually very fun. I saw a lot of familiar faces and my ridiculous coral pants sure fit in with the Valentine’s theme.
If only free ragers with great music, dancing, and company existed after college… they are way too fun.
Ashley and I kicked off our single’s awareness day on Friday morning with a much needed walk to get breakfast.
I hung out with some dance girls, took a nap, and eventually rallied for our Valentine’s night out. We decided to go to DBA, the club in Hollywood, again.
Flag pictures are a must, especially for Presidents Weekend!
We had a little photoshoot before letting Joe hop in the pic with us.
The club had a masquerade theme with complimentary masks at the entrance. Free stuff is always the best.
The club entertainers were a hit once again. Ash danced with one of them and I quickly snapped a pic. They are crazy about photos in the club… trying to keep it all ~*mysterious*~ for first-timers.
After the late night out, I managed to wake up super motivated to workout on Saturday. After taking two weeks off in January, it has been SO nice having my workout mojo back. I went to the gym and ran 4.25 miles and then went on the spin bike for an hour while catching up on my Feedly. It felt gooooood. I relaxed for the rest of the day, watched the All Star Dunk Contest (disappointing, huh?), and then went to see a friend of a friend’s band perform in West Hollywood. The band was very good!
On Sunday I woke up and went to this pretty place.
Then I went home, had lunch, and went for a quick run around my neighborhood. It was super hot outside and my legs felt like lead, but I pushed through and that’s what matters.
A quick shower and blowdry and I was headed to yet another basketball game. It’s crazy to think that we only have 4 more home games before the PAC-12 Tournament in Vegas!!
I’m obsessed with the wonderful girls on this team… I just can’t say it enough.
This game was an exciting one (even though our team lost) because my dad, stepmom, and stepsis were in attendance. Afterwards, we grabbed a late dinner at Panini Cafe in Downtown LA. Their food is SO GOOD and I’m glad everyone approved of their meals. My falafel wrap and romaine avocado salad sure hit the spot.
The rest of my night was spent relaxing in bed and watching House of Cards… I am hooked! I just started Season 2 and will probably finish it up in a few days.
Monday was my day to run errands before the week really started. I went to the grocery store and then to the Beverly Center to shop a little bit use an expiring gift card. Then I went to the gym and did my two favorite cardios: spin bike (40 mins) and running (3.25 miles). Kicking my butt at the gym has been awesome. Tomorrow I am supposed to grab lunch with the folks in Hollywood and on Thursday I’m going to visit my grandpa & family in East LA.
I hope your weekend was filled with a good balance of fun and rest. Time for a short week!
