Weekend Update

I'm at work....and don't want to work....so I think it's time for a weekend update!

Friday night Ryan and I went on a secret shop to Riverwind Casino. It was the first time we had done one there, so I had to go over my shop report quite a few times that day to make sure I was prepared. We had dinner at Autographs, and then hit the Energy Bar for drinks, then the gaming area for Super Jackpot Party (yes, they reimbursed me $20 for playing slots!!) and more drinks! It was a pretty fun time...although it was hard to just enjoy myself because I was trying to take in every little detail and spent a good amount of time taking notes on my iPhone.

Saturday was spent cleaning the house, catching up on DVR shows and cooking! I invited Josh and Jana over that night for dinner. I love having people over, and I was excited to try out my new recipe for chicken enchiladas! I was still cooking when they came over because I started too late. I also realized I didn't even have a baking dish for the enchiladas, so they brought theirs over. I was starting to throw everything in the saute pan and ran out of room. I had made a TON of food! I double checked the recipe, and saw that it was basically enough for 8 people. All of the ingredients wouldn't even fit in the pan! I mean, there were cans and cans of green chiles, chicken, onion, garlic....Jana helped me throw most of it into the corn tortillas and I stored the rest in the fridge for later. They were so delicious!! A great recipe to impress, when you have a lot of people coming over for dinner. Next time I will half the recipe!! I set the table with the orchids from our reception, the linen runner that was neglected for the Hawaii wedding, and a white table cloth that I accidentally took home from Remington Park last weekend.


What is better than great friends and great food?


Halfway through our meal, I snapped a shot of the glorious outcome!


This is my pig-out plate...enchiladas with that sour cream?

Yum.

Yesterday I braved the heat and the Tax-Free Weekend crowds to hit some stores and do a little damage. I bought my server outfit for Upper Crust (white Pumas and black Levis. Sexy.) I bought Ryan some shoes that I will save for his birthday next month. I took all of our wedding giftcards and went to Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond to buy more stuff from the registry.

I picked mostly kitchen items.






I also got a cute red baking dish at Target so I could make more chicken enchiladas!!!! :)

This week is going to be super lame and super long so I'm trying to make fun plans. I only have a few weeks left until my server jobs starts, so I have to be as social as possible. Tonight, Mal and I are going to see Toy Story 3 since Ryan is on call all night.
