Heyyyyy there. Here I go again with a weekend recap. As if you guys really care. It's mostly for me to be able to look back and go.. "oh yeaaaaa.. THAT'S what I did that weekend". Although I don't think I'll need anything to help me remember this past weekend. It was the first weekend in a while that was themed just The Hubster and DOS. We were glued at the hip all weekend. Starting with a dinner date night on Friday that mixed in a trip to Best Buy and making friends with the Samsung employees, getting lei'd at a liquor store and tasting some beer, biking to dinner, running through a freak rain storm and drunken bike races through our alley. I love nights where it just turns out to be so random. I think all I said before we left the house was, let's go get sushi. The rest kind of just... happened. The only downside was that The Hubster beat me in our drunken bike race. It has now become my mission to beat him on this. Though I think the only reason he won is because my bike has smaller wheels so therefore my widdle leggies need to pedal that much faster!
Saturday was spent doing some light chores and taking our pupperoo to the dog park. Wrigleyboo is so cute at the dog park. He's such a feisty little boy at home but at the dog park he gets super shy. Melts my heart so much. Sometimes when he's not looking, I'll hide and he starts sniffing the ground for my scent to try to find me. Hahaha. So adorbs! At night, I got dolled up in this outfit you see here and went to the Starving Artist event for the Chicago Artists Coalition. It was such a fun event and I really loved the cause. The Chicago Artists Coalition helps artists that may not have their own space, or materials and gives them a place to either create their art or display it. Notable happenings of the night? Taco battle between Big Star and Antique Taco. It was sooooo hard choosing one! Hennessy flowing from every direction thanks to Benjamin Newby. Hmmm I wonder why I am always shwasted after I see him? Maybe because he makes things like Henny popsicles and jello shots? Hmm what else happened? Oh! Nail art by Astro Wifey! I always wanted her to jazz up my fingers. Her nail art that night was themed after some of the art in the gallery. And of course no event is quite complete without a photobooth. Uhhhh yea, we photo-whored it up.
We topped off our Hubster + DOS weekend with one of our favorite events in Chicago. THE PRIDE PARADE! We've pretty much gone to see the parade every year since we moved to Lakeview. It's always one crazy party with people just celebrating love, every kind of love. It also gives people a chance to be as close to naked as possible. LOL. I'll have a separate PRIDE post coming soon so I'll save my words for that one. Needless to say, hubz and I got rocked on margaritas and hobbled home for a much needed drunken power nap. And as if we couldn't get any more BARF inducing, for dinner we decided to try our hand at cooking a Mexican feast together. All inspired by the bottles of hot sauce and marinade that Big Star gave us on Saturday night. It doesn't happen that often because it takes a lot of time but I love having cooking adventures with my hubby. It always reminds me that we make a pretty good team even though we are so opposite. He likes to follow recipes as exact as possible whereas I like to just free ball it. The combination of the two usually yields good food. =D
So that pretty much sums up my weekend with my boo. Did we gross you out yet? Lol. I think it's so important in a marriage to have weekends like that. Something more than just going out to an obligatory dinner date. I find it more fulfilling having adventures together, trying out new things, or just acting like immature idiots. Marriage is hard guys and mine is no perfect fairy tale, like a lot of my friends seem to think. LOL. So moments like these remind you what really matters and not to be so serious all the time. The Hubster and I drive each other crazy and I'll be the first to say that I'm a little insane. He deals with a lot. I can go from zero to sixty in about .05 nano seconds and completely come from left field. But there's really no one else that I'd rather see nodding and staring blankly right at me as I'm yelling my ass off.
So I guess this post is dedicated to The Hubster. Thank you for a fantastic weekend. I love ya and have fun in Montreal this weekend! Tell those strippers to follow my blog m'kay? Just slip my card into their g-string. Thanks!

UPDATE: If this ain't romance after 10 years of being together. I dunno what is!
*Note: It was a UNISEX bathroom. Furthermore, all the women in line half swooned and half wanted to beat my ass. Not my fault my hubby is better than yours. MUAHAHA!
