How I spent my weekend

On Friday I FINALLY got to go do some shopping after a WHOLE week. (Gosh that seemed like a long time to not step into a thrift store.)
But before I went to any second hand shops the Mr. wanted to take me to look for my Valentines gift. On my wish list was a pair of cowboy / girl boots.

Now we were really just going there to look and find out my size. But there was a awesome sale and well... you know how it goes. One box left in my size and the color I liked best so we were not going to leave without them.

The first time they set out on pavement


My Lobster shirt which I told you all about and then didn't show a pic of until now. I wore it out shopping on Friday.

And it's from Mexico so I think Dora would love it too!

Isn't he a classy lobster?? Ray bans and a white suit jacket complete with a corsage.

A Saturday me

I found the owl necklace just minutes before for $3 in a hospice thrift shop.
That makes owl necklace count up to 3 now.

Dinner on Saturday night.

We saw the sign for this new place in the beginning of Dec and they were just setting up the place. The windows were all covered up and the only giveaway of what it was to be was the sign above the business that said "Ramen coming soon" My Mr. has a thing for Japanese stuff and I don't mind it myself either.

So when I pointed out the sign he became OBSESSED with waiting for the shops opening. (Sometimes we would even drive to the opposite side of town where it was just to see if they had opened yet.) *lol* He would also take the route passed there anytime we were even in the vicinity of the place.

I told him by mid January that I had a feeling they would be opening in the beginning of Feb and wouldn't you know it?! I was right.

Everyone in the restaurant at the time we were there was Asian. (We have a University here that has alot of International students.) We sort of looked like the odd ones out... SO I MADE SURE to try and use my chopsticks like a professional so I fit in better. I only had one incidence where I almost lost control of my noodles. *heh*

Here I am with my schmancy chopsticks and a red Buddha laughing at me.

The Ramen was Delicious and I know I will be going there alot from now on.

The owner was a really nice Japanese guy who was super friendly. I will have to take a pic of the interior next time I am there. There is 21 stools and the seating is in rows. So if you sit at a table complete strangers can sit across from you. *hehe* Something I am not used to at all. But in Japan that's how they do it.

The sign outside the shop. I am pointing to the one I ordered.

Apparently Jersey had a rough weekend so he has spent his time lounging like some spoiled celebrity dog.

So how was your weekend? I would like to know!
