My weekend consisted of two things: watching the Olympics and eating good food and I loved it!
Friday night we stayed in to watch the Opening Ceremonies. I'll say what everyone else is saying and admit that it wasn't as good as Beijing, but I was still entertained. We used our free pizza and ice cream from my blate at the
Reds game last Friday and relaxed with our kitties on the couch.
Saturday I worked on some orders for my
Etsy shop, went to the mall, then Drew and I went to dinner at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, The Cactus Pear. Fish Tacos and Mango margaritas and then it was back to the Olympics. Anyone catch the beach volleyball game? That and the women's gymnastics are my favorites!
Sunday I made Hazelnut Macarons with my macaron making partner
Courtney and our friend Bekah.
They don't top our
Blueberry Cheesecake macarons, but were still ah-mazing. So amazing that they deserve a post of their own so I'll post about these later this week. Oh and then I went home and guess what we did? That's right...watched the Olympics. Sometimes low key weekends are the best kind!
One more piece of exciting weekend news...Gentri Lee asked me to be her blog of the week this week so hop on over and check out her wonderful

Yep, this sounds a lot like my weekend...minus making yummy macaroons/ plus office works! Ha! I've been trying to watch as much as possible. I love the Olympics!
I think your title pretty much summed up my weekend as well. Lots of food, lots of Olympics =)
I know what you mean. I have watched a ton of the olympics...but in the past I always regret not watching it more, so this year I am watching EVERYTHING! maybe a little too ambitious...
I feel so great about myself when I eat ice cream while watching the Olympics. Haha...I got my pizza on Friday night, too! It was the perfect dinner for the opening ceremony! Swimming is my favorite. Confession: I'm more than a little in love with Michael Phelps.
I have been watching the Olympics off and on all weekend. It's exciting!
