boo, you whore

I can't go out. (cough, cough) I'm sick. Why yes, I do try and incorporate Mean Girls into my every day life. 

I had grand plans to get in a lot of Shenanigans this weekend so that I could have something worthwhile to link up with the pretty Miss Sami, but then I got sick. 

We went to Houston because I had a baby shower on Saturday and because we just can't get enough nephew time. But it's bad news when Reid spent his entire weekend having meltdowns and then falling asleep on his mom or dad's laps - something he NEVER does. 

So of course, since I still couldn't resist snuggle time with Reid, I got sick. I'm not sure what I have, but I have a fever. And I read somewhere once that fever = flu. Please say that is not true!

We still wanted to have some fun, so we went to dinner with friends on Saturday night at Beaver's. We went there last month for drinks and wanted to try out the food this time. I wasn't really hungry, but I got a small side of mac & cheese. Along with being a pizza snob, I'm a bit of a mac & cheese snob. I am not exaggerating when I say that this stuff was one of the best I have EVER had. I'm going to give up making it at home because I know I will not even come close. (And the whole being healthy and no pasta during the week thing.) I have zero appetite right now thanks to the maybe flu, but I would still eat a gallon if this if someone gave it to me. 

The rest of the weekend looked like that. Hot tea to make my throat feel good enough to meet the friends, and the best drink I have ever put into my mouth. Cuties + coconut in a healthy smoothie? SOLD. Now I just need to figure out where to buy coconut chuncks so I can recreate this. And I guess I need a juicer? In my nighttime medicated state last night I was thinking of how to properly make a cutie smoothie. Do you blend them or juice them? And then I passed out two seconds after putting my sleep mask on (face mask? sleep mask?) and dreamed of being a hoarder of bookshelves. That Walgreens knock off of Nyquil really gets ya.
