Big Mario Life: Fab Friday

Grab a Button!

posted on: 6.10.2011

Happy Friday Lovelies!! I'm so glad it's finally Friday. Since I was in Chicago last weekend, The Boyfriend and I haven't seen each other in almost two weeks. This distance thing kinda sucks sometimes. But we're planning on making the most of our weekend together - lots of cooking, eating, and relaxing - and maybe a few cuddles in between. :)

The weather is finally summer-y here in Northern California (aka NorCal) so we're planning a picnic for Saturday afternoon. If money were no object, I'd rock this maxi dress out at the park.

But money is an object - and I went a little crazy at Trader Joe's and blew my grocery budget for the week - so I'll have to settle for one of the dresses already in my closet. I'm also obsessed with packing our picnic in a vintage suitcase rather than a traditional picnic basket. We can pack plates and utensils in the nifty pockets (and maybe a little bottle of wine, too...). Is this a cute idea or am I just crazy?

What about you? Any plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a fabulous time!

Happy Weekend!!!

Have a great weekend with the boyf. Hope the weather holds out.

It's a long weekend here so even though I have to work tomorrow (grr), I'll be heading off along the coast which I'm looking forward to: chilly air and rough oceans. Perfect.; June 10, 2011 at 1:24 AM
