Black + Mint

i like to call this past weekend, ‘epic fail weekend’. nothing quite worked out as planned. mike and i planned to go watch the Air & Water Show on sunday, which ended up being canceled due to low-hanging clouds. we went out to eat for our anniversary and i ordered something that was not at all what i thought it would be, so we picked up Trader Joe’s sushi on the walk home so that i could satisfy my hunger. we went to dinner on sunday with some friends to a place that is highly recommended. while it was delicious, we had to wait a minimum of an hour and a half for the food. it ended up being worth the wait but, man, we were hangry by the time it arrived and totally gorged. 
so, again, while nothing really bad happened (at all), it was just one of those weekends where i shouldn’t have set any expectations for anything, ya know? do you ever have one of those times? however, i did set my expectations high for getting lots of rest and binge watching The Walking Dead with mike…but those expectations were exceeded. (for you Walking Dead watchers, we’re about halfway through season 2 – we’re a little bored with it, but have heard that the later seasons make it worth pushing through the second. does that sound about right?)
in totally separate news, i like this outfit because i like matching girly, like a pencil skirt, with tough, like chunky black heels and a leather top.
