this weekend, I...

Hope you all had a good weekend!  Overall mine was great, with one sucky part...

This weekend, I planned a "Chloe and Rachael day" while Tony spent the day snowboarding with his BFFs.  For those who don't know, Chloe is Tony's 6-year-old daughter, and she lives with us half the time.  We started out at this awesome place for kids called Discovery Village, where we made Valentine's, played on the giant toys, and ate ridiculously huge cheese quesadillas.  Once we were sufficiently stuffed, we headed over to the YMCA where Chloe climbed the indoor rock wall and got to the very top!  I was so proud of her, I literally almost cried.  And I do not cry.  After that we went swimming, also at the Y, and the lifeguard was nice enough to turn the water slide on for us.  Finally I got a chance to use that slide!!  We ended our day with frozen yogurt at Menchie's.  I was being good and chose only non-fat flavors with fruit as my topping.  Chloe, on the other hand, chose probably every candy option available, loaded with multiple sauces and whipped cream.  Yum!

This weekend, I lost my new iphone at the YMCA.  Major bummer!!  I had just used it to take so many photos of our day together, which I had planned to blog about, plus a video of Chloe kicking butt on the rock wall to show her dad.  I think I left it in the locker room before we went swimming, but nobody has turned it in yet, so I guess someone applied the finders-keepers rule to my phone.  I do however have this photo, only because I texted it to Tony.
That's a look of determination right there!
This weekend, I took Tony and Chloe to the zoo to meet up with my friend Kim from high school and her adorable daughter, Isabella.  She's only 3, but has been to the zoo so many times that she was leading the group!  We also happened to run into our friends Drew and Cassie with their two little girls, so Chloe made lots of new friends that day. Still sulking about my lost phone, I didn't even bother to take any photos with my Droid.  I was in silent protest of having to use my old phone.
This weekend, I watched the season premier of The Walking Dead with Tony.  Finally!!  I feel like I've been waiting ages to see it.  I know not everyone was a fan of the episode (ahem, Christi), but I thought it was great!  I won't say anything else, in case you haven't seen it yet.

This weekend, I  made another batch of Jamie Eason's Pumpkin Protein Bars.  I love these things!!


What did you do this weekend?

  2. Thanks!! I'm still hoping! I tried calling it about 2 hours after I realized it was gone, and my voicemail said "this person has a voicemail that hasn't been set up yet"... which makes me think someone already started messing with it. And the weird part was it was mainly moms and kids in the locker room! Except for one group of teenage girls... I sort of suspect it was them. Oh well, what can I do? Luckily I only paid about $100 for that phone, it was a friend's used phone. So at least I'm not out a ton of money! I was more bummed about my pictures and videos, which I stupidly didn't back up.

  4. I am so sorry that you lost your phone, that really sucks but I am glad that you got to try the slide.

    I am glad someone else loves The Walking Dead as much as I do.

    1. Walking Dead is SOOO GOOD! I know what you mean about having too many shows! We are still getting caught up on Dexter and just starting the new show The Following which is amazing! I don't know about Downton Abbey though, I don't think I can convince Tony to watch that one. :)

    1. Thanks, Hena! yep, it was a minor tragedy. But then I just remind myself that there are so many people in the world who don't even HAVE a phone, and then I feel like a big huge brat for pouting about using my old droid. Haha i guess my priorities could use a reality check now and then.
