Broadway Bound

I promised you all yesterday that I would recap you on the weekend events. So without further ado:

Well Friday night I went with the boyfriend and his mom to their church for Good Friday Service. The service was wonderful and very nice. It was the first time I went to Good Friday Service. My church doesn't do one. They do theirs on Wednesday night services but we never went to them. I'm happy that I went and I got a lot out of it. After going to Church we decided to go out and have a drink or two at a local bar. We sat and talked and had a lot of fun. It was nice just to relax.

Saturday I slept till about noon until the boyfriend called and asked me if I wanted to come over dye eggs. Of course I said yes. :) It was so great to finally be able to sleep for a long period of time. Lately I have been sooooo sleep deprived that all I wanted to was sleep for even 5 minutes. I went over to his house and we dyed the eggs. Before the egg dying he had a note for me that was from E.B. I opened the letter and read aloud the contents and realized it was from the Eater Bunny (E.B.). I was instructed to go on a scavenger hunt finding clues along the way. I went and found all the notes(they were cleverly hidden, one in the fridge with a half eaten carrot made to look like a bunny ate it, and one even on his dog's collar) I finally found the basket after like 20 minutes of searching. It was beautiful and really well displayed. I figured his mom had to have helped but really she had no clue about it so that was even extra point for boyfriend. In the basket it had chocolates of course, the movie Mamma Mia(I just went to NYC to see the Broadway play), a kitchen towel that has something along the lines of Put the chocolate in the bad and no one will get hurt, jelly beans, gum, hand lotion that smells like Chocolate Dipped Strawberry and more chocolate. It was SO incredibly sweet of him to do. I almost was in tears. The amount of time it took him to do that and for him to write out all those notes even as far as going to bite a carrot to make it look like a rabbit and attaching a note to his dog was so awesome. I was blown away and really couldn't have asked for anything better than that. It was one of the sweetest things ever. His notes were so cleverly written. I'll have to share them with you when I have time.

Anyways moving back onto the eggs, I had forgotten how to dye them and totally got coloring on my fingers and then couldn't figure out why my eggs had white spots on them(I had been holding them there in the dye). Yea the boyfriend was all like you don't hold the eggs you just drop them in the dye if you want the entire egg dyed. I was like oh ok, wow I'm stupid. Yeah so after I started figuring out how to be less of an idiot we had tons of fun.

Aren't these eggs awesome! Too bad I don't eat hard boiled eggs but I love looking at them!

After the egg dyeing extravaganza we started to relax and then I decided to make some chocolate peanut butter eggs for our families. I got quickly to work and made double the recipe so there would be enough for each household. I made 48 eggs total however Pozy(boyfriends dog) ate two so really we had 50. While the eggs were freezing we grabbed my mom's dog Izzie and took Pozy and took them to a local park to run around in the nice weather. It was so much fun watching them and we all had a great time. After taking Izzie back home we went back to his house and I finished giving the eggs a chocolate bath. This was a little tricky but I got it down and we made it out the door just in time to pick up boyfriend's friend for late night bowling. Yes I didn't finished eggs until 10:45 at night when we got home at 8 from playing with the dogs. You can tell I'm tired right? So we went to this bowling alley and there was a waiting list. A waiting list to bowl? Yeah that's what I thought. They told us it would only be a few minutes but after an hour and a half we didn't think so and decided to bail and get some drinks. It was good to see boyfriend's friend and we all had a good time just hanging out and B.S.ing.

Sunday was just wonderful. Easter Day!! Well normally I go with the boyfriend and his mom to their church but since my mom and brother wanted me to go their church the one I grew up in I went with them. The Church was PACKED. My Church is kinda like one of those churches you see on TV where they have all this high tech equipment and the sanctuary is HUGE. Yeah that's my Church. So now that I have painted a picture you can all guess that this church must have been crowded and packed if it is that HUGE. They had to have extra seats and everyone was scrunched in. I thought that was so wonderful that so many people had come to church to hear the word of god. Praise the Lord. The service was wonderful and really put me in the spirit. I guess really what put me in the Easter spirit was Friday night for Good Friday. After the service we went back to my mom's house and had Easter baskets! :) We then went with my aunt and her family to a local restaurant and had Easter brunch. The food was okay but I wanted more home style meals. After eating we went back to my mom's again and just hung out there until we had to leave to pick up boyfriend and then go to my dad's side family's dinner. Dinner there was good not all meals that I normally like but still good. It was good to see my family and to catch up with them. By the end of the day I was exhausted but I had such a lovely weekend. I really feel in the spirit of god now and really want to be more active in church after this powerful and moving weekend. Hopefully I can find the time with everything else going on. I know God will give me the energy! :)

How was everyone else's weekend?

Lots of Love, Sarah

P.S. I got to watch the Passion of the Christ again last night with the boyfriend and man do I love that movie! Really good, if you haven't seen it do.

So Happy Easter everyone. Yes I know I'm a day late but it's better late than never right?

How was every one's Easter? Mine was fabulous and I have much to talk about however I'm leaving for the day and I have a things to do tonight so I can't blog until tomorrow. :( I know you all are sad but it will be okay.

But before I leave I will leave you with a picture that I got on Easter:It's called the Easter Peep Show. If you can't see the picture very clearly go to Google and Image Search Easter Peep Show. Very funny and clever. :) Just a little humor to brighten you day.

Have a wonderful day everyone. Lots of Love!

So I applied for a part time job last Friday. I applied to work at a crab cake concession stand through the months of May-October. The ad stated that you make anywhere from $100-150 dollars a day! I was like alright, sounds awesome when can I start? I had my interview on Monday and it went well. They told us about the company, etc. It seems like a good seasonal job where I really can make that much money a day. The only problem? I will be working anywhere from 12-16 hours a day! Yeah you read that right. I most likely will work from 5 AM to 9 PM on Saturdays. Granted I am only working every other Saturday still that's a lot of hours just working one day. Hopefully I can do it and still be okay for my full-time job. I keep reminding myself that it is just a seasonal job and that I can quit if it really gets to be too much. We shall see, we shall see.

In other news, Easter is Sunday and I'm excited to see both sides of my family and excited to eat. :) The boyfriend and I are going to an Easter Service tonight at his church and then I'm going with my family on Easter to their church (the church I grew up in). Hopefully I can find some time Saturday to make Chocolate P.B. Eggs and I really want to make some time to dye some eggs. The boyfriend keeps talking about it so I hope we can. I haven't dyed eggs in forever!

Well I must get going. I'm super hungry and need to work for 2 hours before I can even begin to think about eating!

Have a Happy Easter Everyone and stay safe. Lots of love!

Just wanted to shout-out to everyone to have a wonderful delightful weekend. It's raining here and it's kind of cold but the weather man says that it should be beautiful this weekend. I guess we'll see. I'm so hoping for a gorgeous day on Saturday. I really want to take a long walk in the woods or a park so I'm hoping for nice weather. :) *Fingers Crossed*

Besides the weather, I am going to be pretty busy this weekend. The boyfriend's cousins are coming out today and we are going to go out tonight and hang with them. Saturday I am getting invitations and making them for my Mom's Surprise 50th Birthday Party and I am also going to be seeing my wonderful friend S that I haven't seen in forever! Sunday I'm going to church and then visiting my Dad at the Wine Store he works at. That should be pretty fun. We are getting tastings and might even get a FREE bottle of Wine. Yummy and so relaxing.

Well I'm off to start my weekend but have a lovely safe fun-filled weekend everyone! Lot of Love!

I know that I haven't been exactly good at writing recently but it's not because I don't like you all or anything I'm just busy once again.

I don't feel like writing a super-de-dooper long post today so everything is a recap of the past few days. I hope you don't mind but my mind can't even begin to write about everything I have been doing.

So without further aido here's the RECAP:

• We didn't go to a Irish Pub on St. Patrick's Day. Instead we went downtown into the city where you could drink for FREE for 3 hours after you paid a cover fee. That cover fee covered 4 bars, 1 green plastic cup that you drank out of, a t-shirt,beads,and a green plastic hat. We had a lot of fun and I def. got my french fries and some good drinks. :) Oh and since it was free drinks we couldn't get specialtiy drinks so therefore I didn't get my Thin Mint Drink. :( BOO!
  
• The boyfriend and I went to BINGO up the street from my apartment 2 weeks ago and I won $25.00 dollars! It was a really fun time plus they give you a free meal when you play. I went last week with my Stepmom and didn't win but it was still fun. I'm thinking this will have to be atleast a bi-weekly thing!
• The boyfriend left last Wed. up to his cabin so I was alone by myself for 5 days. I got a lot done and got to hang out with some people that I normally don't get to see.
• Saturday I went to NYC and saw Mamma Mia on Broadway with the boyfriend's family. Well at least all the girls in the family. It was so much fun and I felt like home going back to NYC. I just love it there. *I'll post some pics from the trip soon*
• Sunday the boyfriend got home and I was so excited to see him. :)
• Yesterday after work the boyfriend met me at my mom's house and we took her dog Izzie and his dog Pozy to a local park and we walked around for about 2 hours. It was a lot of fun and the dogs def. enjoyed it. It was so nice just to spend some alone time with the boyfriend and it was relaxing! After we dropped off Izzie we went back to the boyfriend's house and lifted weights, did our abs and hung out for a bit.
• Today is just another typical tuesday. Tonight is Weight Watchers like usual, going for a walk with my group after the meeting, and possibly seeing the boyfriend. Also food is a must since I don't eat for like 5 hours before my weigh-in. *I seriously better lose some weight tonight b/c I have been extremely good and have worked out like a mad women. If I go up tonight the weight watchers crew better watch out.*
  

So it's another Monday so you know what that means, The Weekend Wrap-Up.

Friday night I went grocery shopping at Target and got some incredible deals there and used my gift card to pay for the entire amount so it was definitely great to be able to shop there. After I went shopping I decided to get the rest of my ingredients that I needed to make my recipes for next week. I saved tons of money at the grocery store too. Very excited. Seeing as how my checking account has $1.00 in it till Friday I needed to save as much money as possible. Very excited. I went home and made this amazing recipe that I found on $5 Dollar Dinners. If you haven't been to that site, you MUST go now. Seriously amazing. No, no one is paying me to say anything or gush about it. I seriously am in love with this website. Although in Pennsylvania I can't find meat that is cheap I still learn how to plan healthy delicious meals for under let's say $8.00 in PA. It might be $5.00 there but it's $8.00 here, and well that's okay with me. I've been getting into cooking more and getting more ideas and so when I ran across this website I knew it was a match made in heaven. Anyways let's move on. :)

Saturday was such an awesome day. The boyfriend signed him and I up for PAWS-Abilities on Saturday and asked me to bring my mom's dog Izzie. Izzie goes on play "dates" with boyfriend's dog Pozy and so it was natural for us to bring our dogs to play with other dogs and see all the cool things at the event. PAWS-Abilities is an event to showcase dogs that have talents either "dressing" up, agility races, etc. The event also showcases service dogs. It was super cool watching some of the dogs dressed up and it was neat to see our dogs react to all the other dogs. My little Izzie is a mini daschund so she was surrounded by HUGE dogs all day. She was so fearless and couldn't have cared less. She thought she was tough so nothing bothered her, not even the Mastiffs or Great Danes. LOL. Pozy on the other hand is a Springer Spaniel and was super scared and very timid the entire day. She stayed right by Izzie's side and made sure that she couldn't get harmed. My mom decided to come along too and so did boyfriend's mom so they finally got a chance to meet. That was nice and they seem to have hit it off right away. That made me feel better since I was a nervous wreck for them to meet. My mom can sometimes say the weirdest things so I was just a little worried. I'll have more pictures once I get them from the boyfriend. The pictures are priceless and are so funny of the dogs.

Saturday night the boyfriend and I decided to do the St. Patty's Day thing since there were supposed to be some bars that were having specials and parties that night rather than having it on the actual day. We had invited almost everyone we knew to come out but everyone was busy so we just decided to go ourselves and have a good time. We dressed up in Green, wore beads the whole shebang and what do you know almost everywhere we went the parties were not there. I wish I could show you the boyfriend and I but because of Privacy Issues I can't. I can however show you this picture of me. I blurred out my face but you can still see what I'm wearing. :)

Yes I take pictures of myself in the bathroom. Don't judge me. (Sorry that the face is blurry but it's for privacy reasons)
