Daily Dose...

Not too long ago my sister talked me into meeting her in Old Town Scottsdale for a little Saturday brunch. If you know me at all, I rarely never pass up a brunch invitation. I love brunch. We went to a new hip joint called "Daily Dose." Outside of this restaurant there are adirondack chairs sitting out front under some misters. You are sure to get a little sun if you are waiting, which we did. But, I think this is a nice touch. You get to people watch and in Old Town, that is always a treat! Tourists, people on the walk of shame, etc...

Once we were sat our server was a little quiet and not outgoing at all, but we will let it slide. I ordered my signature brunch drink, a Bloody Mary, and Tel ordered hers, the Mimosa. (Very telling of our personalities) My Bloody Mary came with an extra large straw, perhaps to allow the bacon to flow freely. We also decided to split our brunch and we ordered the Southwest Wrap. It was delicious, but the chorizo was a little too salty. Had I been hungover I may be singing a different tune about the salt content. Splitting the dish was a good choice because it would have surely been too much for just me!




I think I would go back again to try a different dish and different serve should I be in Old Town for brunch another day. Maybe to enjoy the patio. ..

My dark, dirty secret...

I unabashedly admit that I am embarrassed to share this post... but, I believe it will keep me in check... at least for a little while.

This weekend I took a good hard look at my closet... after the wedding it was in worse shape than ever. So... here it is...The door won't even open all the way.

I have a denim and hoodie addiction... cripes...
And, after 6+ hours of folding, organizing, donating, color coordinating, etc... I could see my carpet and feel like I have a whole new wardrobe!!

I got rid of quite a bit... even some hoodies, which, if you would have told me 2 years ago I would part with any of my collection I would have called you a liar.

(I apologize for the blurry pics... I was shakin' in my boots looking at this mess...)

So, what are your plans for the weekend??

Weekend Update

This weekend was one of the busiest weekends I have had in a long time. We hung out with friends Friday night at Down Under Wines, then I went shopping with my sister on Saturday for my bridal shower dress. I came out successful, she did not. Saturday night we met up with Mrs. B. Kim and TK for dinner at Latitude Eight. Dinner was lovely, conversation and company was great, the free wine was even better! I would highly recommend this place, the ambiance is wonderful and the owners are very generous.

We decided the night shouldn't end there so we went to our neighborhood pub. It was karaoke night, and it was more than entertaining. They had AMAZING soft pretzels and a server with Napoleon syndrome... Mustang Man was not pleased. After we had plenty of the terrible singers we stopped back home at the Casa de DIY and caught up on our YouTube. Mustang Man shared this with the group, TK shared this.

Sunday morn we woke up nice and early and went to the Swap Meet with my G-Rents. As always, there was plenty to see. Tons of aluminum wall art, and your every day radiation protection rocks! (pictured) We then hit Gordon Biersch for some refreshments and I got at Lobster Crab Cake... It was delicious.

Successful Weekend? Yes.

a brick oven and hot dogs on the weekend...

 

Sunday night, after we had all slightly recovered from our bad habits, HV, the neighbor, and Mustang Man thought it would be a grand idea to cook up some slabs o' pizza. And a grand idea it was. We couldn't have asked for better weather. And the dogs got along... mostly.  HV is master of the brick oven and he was teaching Mustang Man the art. I think Mustang Man's pizza was superb! HV also made 12 other pizzas with various toppings, including goat cheese, feta, caramelized onions, mushrooms, pineapple, jalapenos... and more! A great way to start the week!

Weekend plans...

Relaxing... Lounging... Sitting poolside. Oh, and drinking white wine with ice cubes! Ha ha! Mustang man didn't want the wine to get hot in our nearly 100 ° weather.
