mine was pretty sweet :) friday we had a netflix movie date and watched The Ides of March {with George Clooney and Ryan Gosling}. i am not a huge fan of politics in general but this movie was really fascinating and fast paced. we saw Clooney's other big film, The Descendants, and i am not sure why that one is getting all the oscar nominations and not The Ides of March. ah, well.
on saturday we met with our wedding officiant, Casey, and we discussed the ceremony. i am SO excited to get married and i think he is going to a wonderful job (if you're getting married in the chicago-area and need an officiant recommendation- email me. he is fantastic so far). afterwards, we got to indulge in some suburban panera for lunch (hooray bread bowls!) and we took a trip to barnes & nobel so h could study for a few hours and i could blog. after that, we squeezed in a quick trip to the outlet mall before we went to our friend's place for dinner and drinks.
super bowl sunday was full of food (as predicted). i succeeded in making my mom's cherry crunch (turns out the recipe is even easier than i realized). i loved the m&m's commercial but i got a little bored with all of the car commercials...and the actual football game.
how was your weekend?!

Sounds like a perfect weekend. So fun that you love your officiant, makes a huge difference doesnt it? We're having a close friend officiate!
The M&Ms commercial was the best. Too many cars, too much of Adriana Lima, and no funny ones! So disappointing.
Sounds like the perfect weekend! I adore Netflix, and Panera Bread! I am right there with ya- not exactly sure why the Descendants is getting so much media. I thought it was really sad. :(
The M&M's commercial was HILARIOUS! We watched it a million times on YouTube after the game. :)

That quote always makes me smile! I hope it's true for everyone!
I have a print of Tad's quote hanging in my living room. Makes me happy just looking at it :)

too funny - we watched the ides of march on saturday night! actually, both of us we're not big fans of the movie. the music was too dramatic and i thought the ending was kind of lame :)
What did you think of the ending of the Ides of March? I just saw it, and was a little disappointed...but fantastic acting!
SO glad the wedding stuff went well girl! xoxo from Trinidad

Eek! I love hearing about your weekends. Is it weird that I read your blog posts first thing on Monday morning because I love your weekend reviews? They're just so fun and exciting. And how you manage to curate a post after having such a full weekend is beyond me. You're such a talented blogger!
Fun, fun! I watched The Ides of March on Friday as well and loved it!
Judging by all the Superbowl commercials it seems like beer, soda and cars run American.
Sigh.
I have been dying to see the Ides of March, glad to hear it was good! Sounds like you had a lovely weekend, and I totally agree about the commercials...I thought they were very uninspired this year!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, Jillian...thanks for the rec about the Ides of March!
sounds like a great weekend! I love trips out to the 'burbs!!!!
Sounds like a fantastic weekend!!! I have been wanting to see Ides of March...actually, on Friday night we were choosing between that and Drive (in a Gosling mood, I guess...but then again, when am I not ;)) Drive won... that was so good, too!!! I will have to see Ides this weekend :) XO brynn
I haven't seen either of those films yet. But they are on my "to see" list. Glad to hear you had a fun weekend!
I knew the cherry crunch would be a success the second time around! :)
i love a good blogging/studying sesh in a bookshop! :) and i'm soooo excited for your wedding you have no idea! :)
Sounds like a great weekend!!
Perfect weekend hun!
I LOVED the Ides of March!
Was the Descendants not as great?
Yay for having an amazing wedding officiant! I'm sure that can put your mind at ease to know that things will run so smoothly with someone you like so well!!
Just added Ides of March to our Netflix queue–I'd forgotten how much I wanted to see it! Glad you had such a wonderful weekend!
Sounds like a perfect weekend :) We watched Ides of March on Friday night as well! Thought it was great! xo
