Terrific is the way I would describe my weekend that commenced with bikram yoga with my friend, Michelle and we convinced my husband and her fiance to join us for the sauna effect yoga. I learned that my husband is very flexible, more flexible than I thought, he kinda put me to shame honestly :-)
Afterwards, all stinky and sweaty we went out to Applebees, yup, no joke, we went out and had a great time.
Saturday morning, the event I had been looking forward to since I bought my ticket, the So-Cal blogger meet-up in La Jolla, CA with over 60 bloggers there. I rode down there with Leeann and Selma and joined up with Stephanie, Julie, Britt and Ashley for brunch in the beautiful Del Mar.
Have you ever ordered oatmeal at a breakfast place? I never had and I ordered it yesterday and it was absolutely delicious, it was a cinnamony oatmeal and very tummy-filling.
Then on to the meet-up, which was held at Roppongi and the girls who organized it, Stephanie, Tammy, Kelsey and Kai were awesome.
I was most excited to meet Stephanie, Jamie, Katie, Leah, Alexa and Kirby and I met new awesome bloggers like Audrey and Amira, both were just the sweetest!
But I am a bad blogger, I didn't take a photo, I was enjoying talking so much that my brain didn't register to take photos. We walked away with plenty of pretty giveaways, including a camera bag from donated by Nicole of THEIT, which I feel fortunate to have won! How gorgeous is the bag :-)

Then yesterday was our Super Bowl party, so food, friends and football.
Our menu was:
bbq chicken sandwiches
potato gratin
pretzel bites
chips and salsa
caprese skewers
monkey bread
brownies
pink lemonade bars (recipe and more photos coming up this week!)
beer
margaritas
Hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the Super Bowl. I think there is a need for another Bachelor re-cap coming soon.
p.s. I don't think I have ever told you the story of how Sean and I met, anyone want to hear?

pink lemonade bars - that sounds amazing! And your blogger meetup sounds like so much fun!!
There's nothing wrong with Applebees! I know they're not trendy or "foodie" friendly, but I love restaurants like those - The Olive Garden and Chili's are a couple of my favorites!
