I'll admit, this weekend didn't exactly get off on the right foot–I lost my wallet, which certainly made the end of the work week feel just as hectic as the beginning. John made sure the blow was cushioned with plenty of wonderful meals: tacos at Mexico au Parc for lunch on Friday followed by an Indian feast, a late and very long Persian lunch and plenty of bubbles on Saturday, and a much needed brunch on Sunday morning.
And it wasn't all stress eating-this is my birthday week! John has gifts for me sprinkled around the house-you wouldn't blame me if I took a peek (or two), would you?
Tell me, what were you up to this weekend?

Not as bad a losing your wallet, but I tried to run errands last week with-out mine..."oh, oops. I'll come back, I promise!" The food sounds so good! xoxo

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday week!! I hope your birthday week kicks last weekend in the butt! :) Our Sunday was quite perfect, we went to see The Help followed by a late lunch/early dinner! Great way to top off the weekend!
ReplyDeleteonce i lost my wallet in russian hill in the pouring rain (guess it fell out of my raincoat) and the person mailed my license back to me but none of the other cards or my LV wallet....nice. Hope you had a happy birthday regardless - I love Sunday brunch! And I ALWAYS sneak a peek at my presents lol mostly because I hate surprises!
ReplyDeleteOh Lena, so sorry to hear about the wallet loss. That is the absolute worst! Glad to hear there were great meals had to bring joy to the weekend, and hope you have a glorious birthday week, my dear!! xo
ReplyDeleteIf I told you how many times I've lost my wallet before, I guarantee you would feel a lot better :)
ReplyDeleteA Persian lunch? Do tell about it!
Aw, so sorry to hear you lost your wallet...I've lost mine before and it's so stressful and nerve wracking! Glad you have lots of ways to relax and unwind during your birthday week...you deserve it! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa xoxo
