Valentines Day: White Castle Dinner

February 28, 2018

AJS and I wanted to do something for Valentine’s day that was cheesy and fun so I kept an eye on the sign at the White Castle near his place until I saw they were taking reservations and surprised him with the plan.

In case you didn’t know, White Castle does dinner service on Valentine’s Day. People can still walk in and order but in order to sit down to eat there you must make a reservation. They decorate, have a host, waitresses and a printed menu.

It is still White Castle food but you can order like in a real restaurant. I did not dress up but I did see a few couples in suits and dresses! 

We were shown to our table, we placed an order and ate way too many sliders. There were some super cute couples all dressed up and some families with even the kids dressed up. We loved it!

If you live anywhere near a White Castle I 100% recommend it for something different and fun to do on Valentine’s Day!

Finishing// I just finished up “We Were Worthy” by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen last night and I am also almost finished working on this gigantic research paper!

Watching// The Good Doctor, Scandal (can’t believe its the last season!), Walking Dead is back!

Wishlisting// A new swimsuit I don’t need, some new casual sneakers, tickets for our Europe trip to drop already

Hearting// Girl Scout cookies. Oh man, I got my boxes and I am all about hoarding them for the rest of the year!

Planning// The month of March. I want to do my first no spend month since March is turning out to be a pretty slow and easy month but I am nervous and really just figuring out the rules I will set for myself

High 5 For Friday!

February 23, 2018

Joining the High Five For Friday linkup hosted by Tif @ Bright On A Budget, 
Katie @ Cup of Tea,  Becky @ BYBMG



I feel like I have been super busy but really I just had a long 5 day weekend off work and so I forgot to get my life together and plan ahead. So this is 5 for the past week and half! 

1) Valentine’s Day @ White Castle
Thenewguy and I had a very special dinner date at White Castle for Valentine’s Day and it was everything I hoped it would be and more (forget how upset my stomach was at me about an hour after dinner) If you haven’t tried it and live close to one, please do. I’ve never been into going all out or making a big deal of the day so I was super excited to do something cheesy. We had to make reservations 3 weeks ahead (last year I tried the week before and they sold me it had been booked up for weeks) I am planning to do a post about the whole thing at some point in my life but for now here is a picture! 


2) Birthday Nights Out 
My cousin/roomie celebrated her 23rd birthday this past weekend. Since I was off Friday we went for breakfast, had mani/pedi’s and then got all dressed up for dinner and dancing. We went to Cafe Iberico and then walked over to Henry’s. It was damn cold and we waited for about 25 minutes in line to find out that the downstairs part we wanted to go to was closed for a party. Ugh. We made the most of it, danced our butts off and probably had more to drink than we should have.


3) Black Panther 
OOh let me tell you. I was so effing excited for this movie, I can’t even. It lived up to the hype and I was so happy that it did. Super badass female warriors, strong cast and great CGI who could ask for more?


4) Family Time 
My mom’s birthday was on the 12th but she was on a fun girls vacation so we got together on Sunday to celebrate. A little food, some cake, and lots of laying around watching movies, playing with the kids and cuddling up with mom made for a wonderful sunday! 




5) Target clearance!
Target had some of their cutesy workout stuff from the dollar spot on clearance and Thenewguy decided to scoop up some of the fun items he thought I would like.
