It may be three months before I am able to serenade my friends with a ukulele song, it might be three years. I might never be able to juggle more than two balls (ha) at once, I might learn how to juggle twelve. I know for certain that I have strong love for many of people in my life, and that I am forever grateful for them. I will make mistakes, but hey, life is a classroom (or whatever the kids say these days). I just know that when I look back on it all, I will know that I had fun, and that I had great love.

Happy Wednesday!

I feel like every time I do a weekend recap post, I am always telling you guys how busy we were. Well guess what?! We had a busy weekend! Yay! We really want to start spending more time with our pets, they really need it. We also had LOADS of errands to run, and chores to do, and we didn't even get to all of it. 

Friday, I somehow convinced Kyle to help me clean the house after work before doing anything. He grumbled, but complied, and even cleaned a bit more while I made us dinner. Having another pet means that our house needs to be cleaned even more than before. I don't think my house can ever smell like anything other than dog at this point, so we burn lots of essential oils, and candles. Mmm, lavender and dog hair, my favorite! 

I *may* have promised Kyle ice cream if he helped clean, so after dinner we took the dogs out for a walk to Treat Dreams in Ferndale. We were going to split whatever Kyle got, but he discovered that they had butter beer ice cream, so he got me a small scoop. It was amazeballs! After scarfing our ice cream, we noticed that Kyle's sister Danielle, and our sister in-law Renee were out at Como's in Ferndale, so we thought we would call them to come outside and see Joseph. He of course was a little overwhelmed by all of the people downtown, but it didn't stop him from jumping all over Danielle and Renee. After, we walked back home and started season one of Supernatural, and of course became hooked. 

Saturday we slept in a little late, then headed down to Eastern Market for our usual produce run. I stopped at Whole Foods for a salad, and bought Kyle a giant water bottle, so now we can look like matching yuppie-dorks. We then headed over to Chris and Michelle's apartment to steal some stuff that they were getting rid of, and to con them into going to a few places with us. We went to the Detroit Antique Mall for the first time, and only managed to spend $18! We bought vintage outlet plates for the house. After bumming around a little more, we said goodbye to Chris and Michelle, and headed out to Meijer. I also somehow managed to convince Kyle to go to Costco, and Target. I had coupons for Target and got some cute clothes for really cheap, and was able to replace some stuff that our old dryer destroyed.

We caved and bought Thai food, and stopped at Bigbby for coffee since they finally put one close to us. We did spend a good five minutes trying to convince the people that work there to install a walk-up window, so that people (like us) can order coffee while they are out with their dogs. I don't think it worked, but they all agreed that it would be an awesome idea.

When we got home, our screen was busted out, and we found out that our kitty Barry had escaped. Luckily he had just hid in the backyard, and Kyle found him. The minute I called "Barry Kittens" and shook the treat bag at him, he came out and I basically mauled the little bastard. I love our pups, but I love our kittens just as much! Even if they are over 7 years old, they are still our kittens. We then put all of our crap away, and watched the Doctor Who premiere (I already really like Peter Capaldi), and then binged on more Supernatural.

Sunday, we walked the dogs to get bagels from New York bagel, and then bought the pups some dogels, which they loved. Then, we attacked our list of chores. Kyle helped me clean, again, then headed out to the yard to mow, weed-whip, and re-install our rain barrels. I did laundry, installed our new outlet plates, touched up the paint in a few rooms, painted the back of the front door (I thought was grey, but is actually a grey-brown, whoops), cleaned, and washed my car, then made a giant batch of tuna salad for the week. We ended the night by cooking some salmon over the fire pit, with some veggies from the garden, and a couple of cold PBRs, it was soooo good.

Not a very exciting weekend, but it was pretty good! I hope that the next weekend that Kyle and I have off, we can spend it doing something fun instead of chores/errands. I also manged to get some more posts prepped for the week, so here is to hoping that I get around to finishing them up and posting them.

Happy Monday!

1) Tiny cupcakes from work on Friday.
2) Tony Spark's new sticker.
3) Pork and Beans box from the antique mall! Reminds me of Weezer.
4) ALL of the apples at the Farmers Market. 

I don't know why most of my instagrams from this weekend are black and white, probably to hide my gross hair. Seriously, I have THE WORST hair. It curls all weird when I try to blow dry it straight, and comes undone when I try to curl it. Someone make a sacrifice to the hair-gods already.

Anyway, this weekend started out pretty relaxing, but then became busier because it is almost the end of summer, and we have to squeeze in ALL of the things. Friday I came home and cleaned the house a bit, heated up leftovers, and then went for a long walk with Kyle. We came home and wanted to watch Shameless, but Comcast decided to take the fourth season off, you know, the season we were in the middle of, the LAST bloody season before the new one starts. Assholes. Anyway, we decided to watch Puss in Boots, because it was free and we are five years old. It was really cute! I recommend it to all of the cat ladies and cat men out there.

Saturday we headed down to Eastern Market like we normally do, and our friend Becky met up with us. It was awesome to see her for a bit, and to grab food from the food trucks for lunch. Two words: Shawarma Kayrouz. Okay, only the people from the Detroit area might get that, but still. Anyway, after that we headed to Meijer to get the rest of our groceries and return pop/beer bottles, like boring adults do.

After putting away the groceries, and getting some chores done, we washed up and headed out to my aunt Terri's to help set up for her wedding celebration. It was fun to see my cousins again, and we completely dorked out for a few hours, it was awesome. We came home later in the evening and had a little fire in the backyard, and Liam stayed the night.

Sunday we got up early (well, early for us on a Sunday) and took Liam to get bagels at our favorite bagel place in Ferndale, New York Bagel. Yes, it is called New York Bagel, in Michigan (whatever, the bagels are the shit). We dropped Liam off, got some caffeine, and headed to Costco, and the pet store. I am very proud to say that Kyle and I managed to stick to our shopping lists and budget all week/weekend. It is so tempting to just get take-out when you are tired of cooking, but thankfully I am great at making four times the amount of food meant for two people, so we always have leftovers.

We then came home, and I am not sure what happened, but Kyle and I suddenly became very productive and Kyle cleaned out the garage and worked on the yard, while I attacked the kitchen and laundry. I made LOADS of food, so there will be lots of foodie posts in the next few weeks. Food, its whats for food. 

1) Kyle, Becky, et Moi. 

2) Share a Coke with the correct spelling of 'Sara'.

3) First summer squash of the year. 

4) Group photo with my cousins and Aunt. 

Saturday I headed down to Eastern Market, and Meijer by myself to get our produce for the week. I ended up buying all of our groceries, my lunch, and a coffee under $50. We have been trying really hard to save money, and I have been freezing all of our leftovers and making us some interesting dinners. I have been consuming a lot of raw veggies with my lunches to help balance it out. Yay food! 

There were also some crazy storms that came through on Saturday night, and in the process our new router died (again, boo!). Kyle is dropping it off, so hopefully I will be able to do another post later this week. Anywho, later we went out for $2 drinks with our friends and had a pretty awesome time. 

Speaking of food and good times, we met up with our friends Anne, Chris, and their little guy Ethan for brunch on Sunday. CUTEST.KID.EVER. Look at that face! It was great seeing them, because we don't see them all that often. Obvs we need to hangout more so that Ethan will let me pinch those cheeks. 

We did bike around a little over the weekend, but we wanted some actual exercise, as well as some alone time, so we headed out to Paint Creek Trail to walk Louie. Normally we would have stayed out all day, but it was SUPER hot and Louie was pigging down his water, so we only stayed for a few hours. We did find a little stream and let Louie loose to cool off, and he loved it! Normally Louie is afraid of everything, so that was really cool.  After, we killed whatever we worked off by stopping at the cider mill for cider and doughnuts. 

All in all, a really great weekend!
