Weekend Rewind!!

So I love reading other people's blogs from around the country and finding out about their weekends!! I'm not sure if it is just my incredibly nosy nature that makes this so or if it is is that other people actually enjoy reading these posts as well...? Hopefully the later.. So... I have decided to follow the trend and let you know every Monday about my weekend adventures!! I am trying my very very hardest to become a picture taker .. but it just doesn't ever seem to happen..I either get caught up in the moment and forget to take pictures or ..I leave my camera at home ... I'm working on it though....


Friday night-
Went out to dinner to Fridays-we decided on nothing fancy and Jon(the hubby) wanted to try some sausage penne thing for $6.00 that he saw on t.v. I got the sizzling chicken and shrimp and also 2 ultimate Margaritas (what!? we were there a while..)..Jon had beer!! I was siked because the waiter surprised me and said I got to take 2 of the ultimate glasses home for free!! Yey!! I love free stuff!! On our way home we passed by Barnes and Noble and I saw a book from Jonathan Adler in the window!! I decided I loved the cover and I had to have it!!



Great book by the way!!

Saturday--
Our computer was sick so we decided to bring it to see the computer docs at Geek Squad (it is still there :-(.. I miss it...) I bought new headphones for my ipod :) bubblegum pink ones!! A little bit later we met up with some friends at their liquor store that they always go to and decided to do a Tommy Bahama rum tasting!! they made mojitos and they were yummy..so I bought the rum and the mojito mix!! We then went to 5 burros (it is a little Mexican restaurant in Forest Hills) Jon got Chicken Nachos, Sara got Chicken fajitas, Adrian got Enchiladas Verdes and I got some cheese quesadilas.. We ate, had a few drinks, a few laughs.. a few deep discussions about 80's cartoons..!! ha :)

Sunday-
For lunch we grabbed a slice at Dani's pizza down the street!! They have the yummiest pizza!! I got a pesto slice!! Yum yum yum!! Jon got 2 cheese slices. We met this Queens native at Dani's with his daughter who was giving us pointers and more info about our neighborhood!! Nice guy. Next.. we saw a movie..at Kew Garden's cinemas--Take Out.. Great Movie!! It is an independent film about Chinese immigrants trying to live the American dream..they worked in a Chinese restaurant.. making deliveries.. It was really interesting and moving!! The co-director was there after the movie ended to answer some questions we might have had.. so that was an extra treat!! :-)



Later.. went home and vegged!!

I haven't been to 5 Burros in years. Is Austin Street still nuts parking-wise? We gave up going there cause we could never find a spot and the parking lot was crazy expensive.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!!

It's definately still crazy busy around there.. I'm not sure how the parking is now.. we live close enough to walk or we take the train a stop down.. ha .. I don't think we would go there either if we had to drive... It's a great place though :)
