Vents, Impending Wardrobe Malfunction and No Kisses Please

Good Monday morning all!  I hope you had a great weekend and took some good 'you time' and are ready to tackle another week.  Friday, I replaced our register covers downstairs.  I noticed when I put the tree skirt down that ours looked a little rusted here and there.  I wanted something a little more vintage looking so we got this one.

We blew through Trader Joe's in record time as well as Target so we had the superfluous stores done by 9pm Friday night.  Saturday we tried a new to us restaurant that was pretty good but the service was slow just like the reviews said and that was with five other tables in the whole place at 11:15am so we won't likely go back.  We had coupons with us but didn't spend enough to qualify so we left the smaller one on the table with the drink menu and gave the $10 one to the people in the booth behind us.  They seemed quite happy.  It was a rainy, record-breaking high kind of day so we headed downtown.  There was a kitchen show going on so we stopped in.  Boy, those have really gone downhill over the years.  I remember expo-y kind of shows that you'd have a huge bag of crap to go through when you got home but there was barely enough to fill an eighth of the bag.  One of the places we talked to that I actually had bookmarked was a hard no.  I got a bad vibe from what the kid was telling us and I mean KID.  I'm assuming he needed a note to get out of middle school intramurals to be there.  There was one we signed up for an appointment that was using the Home Depot name to lure people in.  I looked to see the subcontractors that would actually be doing the work and they got atrocious reviews.  All talked about being duped by the Home Depot name and how HD said they wouldn't get involved.  That was enough for us to cancel the appointment.  There's one other place we will likely set up a quote appointment with along with a mom and pop refacing company.  Just curious what that will cost now that we've gotten an idea of the process.  Prices will only go up so we want to see what we're in for.   

We saw there was some cosplay event in town so we wandered in.  I didn't think to take pics but here's an idea of what we saw.

There was one very robust woman who used cosplay as an excuse to literally wear the dumpiest, most ill-fitting bra and ratty panties in public.  You know the ones you wear in shame at home but think "eh, I'm gonna let the boobs flop with minimal support because I'm in my castle."  Nope...homegirl went for it, and only ONE hook was latched on that bra.  I didn't want to be anywhere around when the floodgates let loose Lake Boobawatchee.

Sunday the Mr studied until his brain fried.  We walked 3 miles around the hood for exercise then straight into our final two grocery runs for produce and yogurt.  He saw this cereal and we both agreed it looked NOTHING like Kisses.  We had a pretty good take on what we thought it looked like.  Tell us what you see.

On our way out, the Mr excitedly spied these...

I told him to grab them and I have to say...they tasted very...vanilla.  I hate vanilla ice cream so this was a bit of a loser for me so he can have the rest.  But it was nice to see him light up over them.  I could almost see 7-year-old Mr in that moment.  When we got home and ate dinner, he cut my veggies for the week while I started on this.

Riveting, isn't it?

What did you get into this weekend?
