Busy Butt

I sure had a busy weekend!

My friend Jessica turned 23 and we celebrated her Birthday on Saturday by going out to Sushi, and then a bar. I was the DD. I don't mind being the DD at all. I have decided that I would rather know that my friends are safe, and still get to hang out with them while they are drinking.

We started the day off by going to the mall for some clothes. I'm on a money saving kick right now, so I didn't buy any. I just got all dressed up before we headed to the mall. I felt all chic :)

This is Jess at the mall... It's not a good picture cause I didn't catch her attention at the right time, and I didn't even get her all the way in it! Silly....

After we were done at the mall, we dropped off cute baby Ryker with Jessica's parents. Her parents are so nice! They rented an executive suite at the Grand America for their night out! It was so pretty there!

I helped Jess curl her hair while she did her makeup (we were running pretty late) Our dinner reservation was at 8, and we were still in the hotel room at 8:03! The place we went is called "The Naked Fish"

We sent Kasey (Jessica's Fiance) off to hold our table while we were getting ready. Then to make matters worse, I got totally lost downtown trying to find the damn place! I knew exactly where to go, but the road I needed was under construction, then there are all of those one way streets to navigate around. Boo to that.

Regardless, I eventually found it.

We got in there and we had one of those cool little rooms.

We even had to take our shoes off to sit down!

I just picked some of the simpler sushi because there weren't many other options. The rolls weren't very elaborate, especially for what they cost! Geez.

I just got a california roll with tobiko, and a spicy salmon roll. See not too exciting. Infact, disappointing is the correct word.

This is how I like my soy sauce...with LOTS of wasabi. Way more than normal people :)

Me, Jess, and Kari

I'm in love with my tights!

After dinner we went to the hotel room for a second while we waited for others to arrive before going to the bar.

The bar that they chose to go to is called "The Green Pig" and to be honest, I hated it there. It was way overcrowded and I felt like there was nowhere to sit, plus the band was so loud that you had to lean into your friends ear so they could hear you. Plus there were stupid meatheads who kept trying to fight with the boys. Laaaaaame.

Here are some pics from the bar. Kasey bought Jess a round of huka for her Bday :)

I think the best part of the bar though, was this guy........

From the time we got there until the time we left, he was dancing with all the ladies! I didn't get a picture of it, but he had this shiny glittery cardigan on when we got there. Sooo cute. I wanted to dance with him too, but I hadn't been drinking. So I opted to take the pics instead!

That was my night, I got home around 1:30 in the morning.

Then on Sunday morning I decided to try to make some type of pancakes. I didn't really have a recipe, just messing around. Next time I will use a recipe. These were a total flop.

These were my ingredients... I seperated 3 eggs, and put the yolks in a bowl. The whites I added cream of tartar and then whipped em up into stiff peaks.

Then into the yolks I mixed SF banana pudding mix, and stevia. Then I folded that into the egg whites.

All the while I was heating up my pan

Then I mixed in a few chocolate chips. However, next time I won't mix them in. Instead I will drop them on top of my "pancake" in the pan.

Well, needless to say these didn't work. I couldn't get them to flip. Then I had to leave the house to go see my grandma. So I ended up pouring the rest of the batter onto a piece of parchment paper and put it in the oven for like 10 minutes. It came out (sorry no pic) kinda like a huge flat egg tortilla. So I rolled it up and ate it. The best part of the story is that even though the pancake idea didn't exactly pan out...ha no pun intended! It tasted awesome! Like banana nut bread with chocolate! Mmmm :)

Lastly, how could I not leave you without showing you a picture of my favorite kid! Danger-mania!

After my silly pancake fiasco, we went to the gateway before heading up to Centerville to see my grandma. We stopped at Urban Outfitters (one of my most favorites!) and they had this basketball hoop thing on sale. Dange fell IN LOVE! He kept saying "Ba-ball" so we totally caved and got it for him.

I would say it was a good investment, cause for atleast 10 minutes he kept shooting baskets!

Gosh I love him so!
