Refreshing

waking up to this gloomy rainy Jersey morning was tough - one of those 'i could stay in bed all day' day's ..
ANYWAY - i hope you are feeling refreshed and your weekend was everything you wanted and more!
i chose today to start the week off with some refreshing images ..
to ease our way back into the hustle and bustle of the work week ..

can u imagine this seating @ a wedding or special event *to die*

or these romantic settings for you and your lovey?

magical engagement spot, right?

in need of a nap? i found the perfect spot!

please enjoy some fruit and oatmeal warm crisp ..


and some tea from the tree !

how about being invited here for a cozy dinner with friends?! *sigh*

Weekend Update:
remember that Asian Fusion (called: Pan Asia) type of restaurant i wanted to try this weekend - well we went and *ick* so not good - listen to this one, they served us cans of soda that were warm, um weird? - the sushi was *ok* but the food was *ick* - sorta wish i went to a few different places to eat - but we at least ended the weekend @ Cafferys to watch the football game and had some normal classic bar food :o) - boating was good on Saturday, got some nice color which is always a plus, gotta keep up the tan as long as i can - drove around the island (LBI) - hit up TJmax's/Homegoods again (only bought dog stuff this time) .. yadda yadda - the weekend was nice :o)

HOW R U FEELING ABOUT YOUR WEEKEND PASSING BY?
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS WORK WEEK?

  11. Its gloomy here in Boston too and I hate it- nothing like a gross Monday morning to start the week right?

  12. I'm kinda ready for this week...weird, huh? Probably b/c it's actually warm and sunny out for once!

    Warm soda? That's so whack. I've totally had that happen before and been weirded out. At least give me a glass of ice or something!

    Oh and let's float around in #2 please!

    xoxo,
    Carrie
