LizzieLovesLife: Week In Review (Aug 12-18, 2013)

This week has been a pretty chill week.

Monday, we had a plan to wake up at 5:00am and workout before Isaac headed to work. This lasted all of the 30 minutes it took for him to get ready to realize we will not have enough time to workout and have him get ready for work on-time. Epic Fail! :) So he went to work and it turned out to be an average day until we decided to go out to dinner. We went to McAlisters Deli which is our favorite deli place to eat. If you have not heard of this place its very similar to Panera but the prices are cheaper and they have way more options for the choose 2 meal. I just hate when I go to Panera and have to pay extra to have a salad besides the House or Cesar or to get the Chipotle Chicken sandwich. But, with eating at McAlisters I can get pretty much the same things as I get at Panera but without the extra prices. We also stopped by Barnes N Noble for Isaac to get the next book in the series that he is reading and I realized that I have ALOT of books that I want to read this year. Currently, I am reading The Scorch Trials by James Dashner and am loving it. To keep track of what I am reading and different reviews of books you can checkout my Good Reads site. http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/9430490-elizabeth

Tuesday, was a busy housework day for me. I spent the majority of the day cleaning our apartment and noticed that our electric socket in our bathroom didn't work. I sent a maintenance request for it to get fixed and they came out to the apartment to fix it within the hour. Isn't it great when things workout that quickly? If only it happened all the time! Isaac and I spent the night vegging and whatched So You Think You Can Dance and a new discovery Capture. Capture is a show that reminds us alot of The Hunger Games. Its where there are teams of pairs where they run through the woods and there is one team who is The Hunter and they need to capture 2 other teams. Once a team is captured they are put in 'jail' and the camp votes out who they want to send home. If The Hunter team isn't able to capture 2 teams they are then put up to go home. It is a very interesting show and we look forward to another episode this week!

Wed, I made those delicious Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies!! I previously have posted the recipe on this blog and recommend each one of you to try it!! Isaac absolutely loved the cookies and brought them to work where his co-workers enjoyed them so much they wanted me to make them more. :)

Thursday-Errands Day. I spent the majority of the day grocery shopping, getting things accomplished for work and GETTING MY HAIRCUT!! It has been months since I have actually had my haircut and I wanted a change. I've been growing out my hair for years now and wanted a change. I had the lady cut it to about shoulder length with a couple of layers to frame my face. That night we cheered on our team The Carolina Panthers and although we lost that game believe that we will prevail this season! LOL.

Friday-Date Night. Each week Isaac and I try to have one night where we can just relax and spend some quality time together. We discovered his new 'go to spot' in town- Hickory Tavern. This is the Lynwood Grill of our area! The food was amazing and the atmosphere our favorite kind of sports bar!! We also noticed that they have 60 cent wings and specials on martinis and margaritas on Wednesdays so Isaac has planned our dinners every Wednesday for the rest of our lives! :) Hickory Tavern on Wednesdays here we come!!! After dinner we went to 2 Guns the movie, this is a very action pact movie and we enjoyed it. Isaac a little more than me, but who can resist Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington?

Sat/Sun, this weekend Isaac spent the majority of the time Reffing and I just relaxed at home. I tried out one of my bath bombs from LUSH (review to come) and shopped a bit around town. I also enjoyed cooking Chicken Tacos for dinner and prepared Blueberry Muffins for Isaac to have for breakfast this upcoming week!! Oh yeah, we had the Famous Bojangles for Dinner one night as well!
