This Weekend I....Weekend Update

Welcome to Monday Again! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend! I know I did! And I have NO pictures to show for it! I swear I need to make a better effort with my picture taking on the weekend especially! Anyways, lets get on with this post!

On Friday night I had a super chill night, I wasn't feeling all that great so I just lazed around most of the night. Saturday, again I was pretty lazy and it was hot so why not really! I did have to run out and get the rest of my present for my lovely Danielle since it was her bridal shower yesterday! I also got some big news that one of my friends is getting married in TWO WEEKS! Yup, wasn't expecting it but great news for sure! Spent most of my Saturday night texting and FBing about that news! haha

Sunday was Danielle's bridal shower as I mentioned before and it was a lovely (very hot) afternoon. Her sister Monique hosted a fantastic shower for her! The weather was super hot but we all dealt with it in style! This should just show Danielle how much we love her! They had a lovely spread of sandwiches and sweets, can we all agree on the fact that sandwiches taste so much better at showers!? We course did the how well do you know Danielle games and all that fun jazz. I'm not a big cheesy shower game player but the games Monique planned were the good ones! Our party favors was a little tea cup with lavender planted in it! I'm hoping I don't kill the lavender! After the shower, I headed to dinner with my momma and Erica at Montana's and it was delish! After that we headed home and I spent the rest of my night reading The Storytellers by Jodi Picoult and wow such an amazing book so far! I have never read anything by Jodi Picoult before but Erica has read most if not all of her books and Erica said this was her best one and it isn't quite the same as most of her books. I'm totally wrapped up into this book! A very good read for anyone looking for a new book!

Now, I wasn't sure I wanted to bring this up on my blog just because I find it so sad, but as a Glee fan I wanted to send my love and prayers to all of Cory Monteith family and friends. As many of us did I woke up to the news of him being found dead in his hotel room. I was shocked and when I saw it I didn't even want to believe it like it must have been some kind of twitter death joke but when you see things on CNN it makes it all too real. I know none of his family or friends will never see this blog but I'm heartbroken for them, I could not imagine losing someone like that. No one had bad words about him, he took as much time as he could for his fans and he worked hard. He didn't seem to have the Hollywood attitude many younger stars get. This just makes me so sad. He was young, talented, handsome and kind. 

RIP Cory Monteith

Tuesday Tunes

I have to say as I type this I have no idea what tune I want to post here today! I feel like I have been listening to the same couple of albums the last few weeks so I don't know what I have new for you! Actually I know I have nothing new for you right now because I honestly have been listening to Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton and Tegan and Sara all month long! Okay, now think Brittany who else have you been listening to that you want to share with the blogger world! OH OH The Voice Contestants! I have really been loving the Voice this season and I think some that has to do with the fact that Xtina isn't on it this season. She annoys me to no end on the Voice. Not looking forward to her coming back at all! But anyways here are some of my favorite performances from this season on the Voice!

I really enjoy all the finalists but I just love Michelle and Danielle! Michelle is just amazing and Danielle well she sings a lot of my favorite songs and she is great singer so what is not to like about her! Are you watching the Voice this season? Who are you rooting for?

Weekend Update!

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did! This past weekend I spent my time in Halifax. Myself and my sister headed to Halifax on Friday after she is was done at work. We were suppose to only be going up for Saturday night but since the AUS basketball was going on that weekend, some of Erica's friends were going up for the whole weekend so Erica wanted to see some basketball too and we decided why not make a whole weekend of it! When we got the hotel on Friday, Erica quickly got ready and headed out to the basketball games! I got cozy and relaxed in the hotel! I love hotel living! I curled up and watched some Big Brother Canada live feeds! Go Team Jillian! For anyone that is watching BB Canada I know the house guest Jillian! It is so much more fun watching the show when you know someone lol 

Look who I found on the TV! Serena Ryder!!

On Saturday, we slept in for a bit because that is what you're suppose to do at the hotel right? Then we got ready and headed to the mall for just a bit of shopping. I also met up with my friend Natalie, we chatted and shopped around for bit! Very nice seeing her since I haven't seen her since the summer I think! Then, we headed to another shopping centre for some more shopping! I finally realized I hadn't eaten all day so when we were at Chapters I got myself a snack at Starbucks so I wouldn't pass out before supper! 

Refreshers from Starbucks make my life!!

We shopped a bit too long and only gave ourselves a short time to get ready before we had to head to dinner! But we got it all done and made it to Il Mercato before a huge rush came in behind us! Il Mercato is one of my favorite places to eat! I honestly don't think I have tried anything I didn't like there! So, yummy in your tummy and they have the best white wine there called Spy Valley! It is my favorite and I always get a glass even if I didn't plan on it so I should probably just embrace it and know I will get one each time!

Jumbo shrimp appy! Yes please!

Then it was onto the concert! Serena Ryder is probably one of the best performers I have every seen! Not only is her music amazing she really knows how to put on a good show! If we could have we would have stayed Sunday night too because Serena was playing another concert on Sunday night in Halifax again but alas we couldn't do that! But, I know I have said this 1000 times over but if you haven't listened to Serena Ryder do yourself a favor and go and check her out! You won't be disappointed and if you are we are not longer friends okay. :) The girl who opened for Serena was very good too but I can't remember her name for the life of me and Erica isn't home right now for me to ask her! But she was really good. So, happy we got to see her again! 4 times! Still loving every minute! Hope she comes back again soon!

En route to concert after dinner!

 Waiting for Serena to come on stage!

After the concert Erica went to out with her friends for a bit in their hotel room but I was kinda tired so I opted to tuck in with some snacks and watch curling! Brier time baby! Wish I was in Edmonton! I would love to go to the Brier again! I also may have have the BB Canada live feeds going on too! Slightly addicted! I can't help it! Ended up not getting to sleep until 2am that night and was up at 8am so not too bad but it would have been nice to sleep in longer! We had breakfast plans though!

I met up with my lovely friends Danielle, Deena and Gavin for breakfast at Cora's It was nice to have a catch up with them because I haven't been them in about a month! Wish Tiana could have been there but she was off in New Brunswick for the weekend! After breakfast I headed back to my cousin Callee's place because Erica was off to the last basketball game! I had a lovely afternoon with Callee! I hadn't seen her since like Christmas so it was nice to catch up! Good laughs!

Gavin, Deena, Me and Danielle! Love them!

It was a great weekend! I loved seeing everyone and going to the concert. It was a good time whenever me and Erica go anywhere with each other! I hope everyone else had a great weekend too! I don't have anything planned for this weekend so we will see what happens!

Happy Monday Everyone! xoxo
