Busy Bee

How was everyone's weekend?  Did the mothers out there sit back and relax and let their family pamper them?  My mom told me she spent her weekend taking in the finally gorgeous and non-rainy weather in Chicago and requesting my dad perform the first official grill-out of the spring.  And my family in south Florida all got together for a giant Chinese food feast (so Jewish). 

Not being a mother and not being able to travel to see the mothers of my family due to the unpredictable shuttle delays, I spent my weekend running around town and checking errands off my list.  I FINALLY got an oil change (only about 5,000 miles overdue...), and while the car was in the shop J and I ran across the street to Walmart to pick up a few things (including these fruit bites that I'm obsessed with!).  After that we made stops at the drugstore and Target, where we picked up some of their wild caught frozen salmon.  That night we grilled out ourselves for the first time since we fixed up the backyard.  In addition to the salmon, J also grilled up some adobo chili spiced beef strips and I used some Masa de Harina (corn meal) to make homemade corn tortillas!  We paired those with some of my specialty guac for incredible tacos. 

The following day we started off laying in bed and reading, which I haven't done in a while.  We followed that up with more errands - dropping off some stuff at a friend's house, grabbing a bite to eat, buying some picture frames for new artwork I recently purchased, getting fluffy and soft new towels to replace the old ones I've had since freshman year of college, and stocking up on yummy food stuffs at Super Target. I may or may not have also picked up a dress or two as well :0)
