This was a pretty fun weekend. Even though I’m trying not to just live for the weekend, I must say that this was a pretty exciting one. Friday night John and I went to a friend’s  going away dinner. One of our friends is going to Dallas for 6 weeks for work and his girlfriend wanted to throw him a little dinner to say bon voyage. Saturday during the day, I tried to get some work done and quickly realized that I should have worked from a coffee shop because working from our house was not as productive as I had hoped. Oh well, lesson learned.

Saturday night, was the grand opening VIP party for a new restaurant opening here called STIR. The most exciting thing about STIR’s opening was that I was asked to take over their Instagram for the night. I was ecstatic when I was approached and of course I said YES! It was so much fun and I have to say, I think I enjoyed this Instagram takeover thing. It was definitely the highlight of my weekend and STIR opens today! Sunday, was sort of a lazy-ish day. John and I watched the movie Trainwreck again while I tried to get some blog and Brunch Collective stuff done. We managed to do some grocery shopping and John went to improv with friends. Even though it was a lazy Sunday, we still made it somewhat productive.

Here are a couple of favorites from my STIR Instagram takeover:

After the party, John and I hung out with friends for some food and drinks. I had been standing for like 5 hours straight so it was nice to go to dinner and SIT DOWN. I also spent a little time this weekend trying to do some recipe testing with an espresso liquor I was sent (more on that later this week).

Happy Monday folks!
