LITERALLY! But we’ll get to that in a second…it’s been quite the weekend!
Friday the only meal I ended up taking a picture of was my lunch. It was a turkey sandwich with lettuce covered in about 1 Tbsp of Chipotle Ranch and some chips:
Now, here’s how you guys should know that I love ya: I am posting the before and after pictures of my hair-doing from yesterday. The thing is the “before” part is about 20 minutes after I rolled out of bed. If that doesn’t say LOVE I don’t know what does…
And then here’s me “after” with my crazy goofy smile, hoping that Nate takes the picture before the imminent downpour:
I love the color, and I must say that my hair feels healthier and I love that I don’t have 3″ roots anymore. Apparently I hadn’t been in since February…OOPS! Sorry Rebecca!
We walked around the mall for a bit before heading home and taking a nap. We had to rest up for the kickball team party (Nate plays kickball because he’s a stud of an athlete :)). Beforehand we went to the Lazy Dog rooftop patio for dinner:
This was one of the first places we ate at when we moved out to Colorado!
We split these Southwestern Eggrolls with our friend Aaron:
And then Nate and I split a burger:
Aaron got the Boulder Alpine burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms (nomnomnom):
AND THEN WE WENT TO THE CANDY STORE!!!!!
Probably one of my favorite shops on Pearl Street now! Powell’s is a really cool candy store that has just about anything you can imagine:
Candy and chocolate GALORE:
I actually hate black licorice, but liked this poster:
AMEN.
They also had gelato! Nate and I split this cup with Tiramisu and Creme Brulee (SWOON):
Now this is really cool. Aaron kept talking about chocolate covered honeycomb, which (to me) sounded really weird, but he offered to buy us a piece:
Y’all, this was really good! They cook the honeycomb down until it’s crystallized and then coat it in dark chocolate. It was crunchy and crispy like a Butterfinger on the inside, but had a really delicious and distinct honey flavor. I think I have a new addiction 🙂
The kickball party was a blast, but no pictures (sorry!) were taken. We got home around midnight and just completely crashed! Today we’re going to go hiking with Robbie & Stefanie, which should be a blast, and I’m hoping to try on some Vibram 5 Fingers (get excited Ash!) There will also probably be dog-playing, kitchen-cleaning, and nappage as well 🙂
I have to say that I’ve very recently jumped on the Glee bandwagon and am now obsessed. Like to the point of watching those fan-videos made by 12-year-olds on YouTube. You know the ones: they have that weird solid-color introductory page and then the video is really blurry, or it’s just still-shots of the scenes. Don’t judge me 🙂
What’s your favorite Glee song? And if you don’t watch Glee, what’s one of your favorite songs ever? I know that’s a really generalized question, but I still wanna know 🙂 I have to say that my favorite Glee song thus far is “Alone” sung by Kristin Chenowith. Y’all, it’s amazing!
I love chocolate covered honeycomb. They have a British version that they sell all over England, sometimes you can find it in the US… https://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&productId=690142&catalogId=10002&krypto=QJrbAudPd0vzXUGByeatog%3D%3D&ddkey=https:ProductDisplay
That turkey sandwich + burger looks soo good! I love candy stores, but haven’t been in one since… well, since I was a kid, lol. Probably for the best. 😉
Jenn
yay! glad you like your hair!! 🙂 it’s always great hanging out and catching up!
Your hair looks great, Heather! The color is perfect. 🙂
your hair looks cute. I always feel so renewed and refreshed after I get “blonded up” again!
all the candy…drool!
WHAT CHOCOLATE COVERED HONEYCOMB? that is so freakin COOL!!!! i hate licorice too! yuck yuck!!!! your weekend sounds fun girl!
glee- def either somebody to love or journey!
Choosing a favorite song from ‘Glee’? Impossible! I am partial to anything Puck sings though, and Santana has an amazing voice!
I’m feelin’ that love girl, all the way here in NYC. Your bedhead is adorbs though! I don’t really watch Glee, which is kinda weird since I love Jane Lynch. Hmm fave song…tough call, but I’ve been listening to Arcade Fire recently and I really like ’em.
your hair looks great! and choc covered honeycomb=yes. 😀
fave song ever? that’s hard……..Shout to the Lord by Hilsong maybe.
My husband plays kickball, too. I go watch and drink homebrew and cheer. I still have nightmares about playing kickball from ugly childhood experiences (I was/am so not an athlete!)
Cute hair! I hate black licorice too…blegh! Good luck with the VFF’s…they take about 5min to put on the first 5 times you wear them! If your feet get sweaty try sprinkling some climbing chalk dust in them. It helps w/rubbing + blisters. I’m obsessed with walking in them. Love it! 🙂
Have you heard “One Less Bell To Answer” with Kristen Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison yet?? It is ah-mazing. My fave songs are usually Rachel ones, though. I absolutely love her voice and having been a Spring Awakening fan, I also love anything with her and Jonathon Groff (Jesse). I kind of have a big fat crush on him! Too bad he bats for the other team 🙁
I’m not sure I can pick just ONE favorite Glee song. I loved the medley they sang at regionals.. but I don’t wanna tell you what it was in case you haven’t gotten that far in your Glee TV viewing! It was awsome!!
I used to eat honey comb all the time in australia. it may have had something to do with the 15 pounds i gained when i lived there. i also used to eat honey comb ice cream. drooooollll.
never seen glee.
I love the hair color! I really need to get mine done too. It’s pretty apparent in the baby bump picture I posted on my blog today. LOL
I am a complete gleek! I love it! My favorite is Lea Michelle doing Barbara Streisand’s “Don’t Rain on my Parade.” He voice is incredible!!
Also, tiramisu gelato is possible my favorite thing ever. I think it was the only flavor I ordered while living abroad. It is my absolute downfall. At least you practiced moderation and split your cup! Lol that is more than I can say!
That candy store looks awesome. I’ve never heard of chocolate covered honeycomb, but it sounds like something that would be pretty incredible. I loved the Madonna episode of Glee, by far the best one yet.
Love Glee! I watch every episode almost everyday. I truly cannot get over the boys mashup of “Its My Life” and “Confessions”It always puts me in a good mood. And I love “Poker Face” with Lea Michele and Idina Menzel. It’s Broadway stars at their best!
so jealous you get to go hiking!!!! And let me know about the vibram 5 fingers….I’ve been wanting to try a pair out!!!!
Looks like y’all are having a great weekend! Your hair looks FAB. I’ve gotta keep my eye out for that choc covered honeycomb…you had me at “butterfinger” 🙂
I’m don’t watch Glee but favorite song? Hmmm…that’s tough. We jammed out to some Rod Stewart on our way home from dinner last night. Ha.
I don’t watch glee, but one of my favorite songs lately (since we have had so much rain) is by Kenny Chesney, “There someting sexy about the Rain”. Great tune.
Those finger shoes you mentioned look heavenly! A few people at my gym have them and love them. I have not been daring enough to get a pair yet…working up to it. Do you have a pair Heather?
The choco/honeycomb looked absolutely sinful…I would love the combo.
My favorite choclate is dark with hazelnuts. I love the choclate -c0vered honeycomb too. The choclate looks great.
