Gimme more chicken!!

Have you ever gotten a cold/cough/sore throat from a night out? I wasn't licking the bar floor or anything, obviously, but for some reason between dancing up a storm, singing and yelling, I've managed to give myself a 24 hour cold--phooey! However, it was so worth it! I had a fabulous weekend!

Friday night we laid low and got pizza and salads with my parents. Kurt and I then went home and raced to the TV to play Grand Theft Auto. I won. Also, we are so romantic...

I was setting up a heist and needed masks for my guys. I chose piggies!

Saturday, I woke up and spent entirely too much money at the mall. Blame the changing seasons and their new fall lines! That night, my girlfriends and I went into Boston and tore it upppp

We went to two bars in Boston that we wouldn't normally go to, however we felt like gettin' a bit wild if you know what I mean! It was honestly such an amazing, fun time! Always is! :-) We ended the night at this bar/club called The Hong Kong. Let me put it this way. There is a man walking around with a bucket...a legit BUCKET full of chicken and beef teriyaki sticks for just $1. Did you hear that?! It's heaven let me say and I can't deny it when I'm there.

Just so you can visualize the chicken relationship, here's a photo of my sisters boyfriend and I eating the chicken at Hong Kong a few weeks ago. Melts in yo mouth!

Sunday I laid around like a lump on a log, until my friend Liz and I went for Panera and visited my our friend Cristina! For dinner I made a delicious salad:

I usually make this salad once a week and I can bring it to work! It basically consists of Kale, Quinoa, strawberries, tomatoes, dried cranberries, pine nuts, feta cheese and sometimes I add in avocados! Dressing is just olive oil and balsamic vinegar! The flavors are toooooo die for.

My weekend wrapped up with the series finale to Breaking Bad (I WAS SO CONTENT) as well as ...the Patriots dominating the Falcons in the last few minutes. Love it!

Hope you all had the best weekend! Link up with Sami!

Freakin' on a Friday

We've made it to Friday can I get a haaaylll yeah!?! :-) Also, can I get a hayyylll yea for the new iPhone? I have to gloat...only because it's been 3 years since I got a new phone. I've had the iPhone 4 for the past 3 years and lemme tell ya..the 5S is too legit to quit!

Can you tell which one is my new one?! :-)

I am still figuring out the odds ands ends and everything in between; however, so far, so fabulous! I am pretty smitten with the camera, so I figured I would pop the new phone camera cherry and perhaps do a snazzy instagram video! Which reminds me...I've only ever done one video on instagram. Shame on me right? (Follow me @ericamariejordan) We shall see!

In other news, I've been playing Grand Theft Auto V like it's my job. Seriously I cannot put it down. These Gifs have me dying laughing though. I regret to inform myself I still havent found the mime to punch, but I have punched plenty others and also tipped a cow.

Let's back that ass up, shall we? That's what I'll be doing tomorrow night! Having a girls night in Boston---dinner, drinks and dancing! If there's one thing in life I never want to do, is to stop feeling and acting young; you hear me?!

Get Freeeeaky! And link up with Whitney!

Have a great weekend everyone!

You betta treat yo-self before you wreck yo-self

What do you do when one of your favorite bloggers/friends declares a day and weekend all to yourself? You take advantage of it that's for sure!! :-)

My love Shalyn from So Shay had an epiphany one day while soaking her bod in a tub. An entire day to yourself. TreatYoSelf2k13. I took advantage of it--in fact, I took advantage of the entire weekend!

Friday night started with dinner with the family on the water! I normally don't indulge in giant pasta/seafood dishes unless it's necessary, and oh this was necessary don't you think?

Saturday my family and I went to The Big E, which is a big state fair in Springfield, Massachusetts! Since it was treat yo self weekend, I knew I was going to go HAM. And oh, I did....It began with a bacon s'more....at like, 11:30 in the morning--hey, bacon is breakfast food right?!

In fact, my entire family treated themselves. We ate our way through the fair, samples here, kettle corn here, chips/dip there, pizza/lobster rolls/clam chowder; you name it! It was honestly such a fun day I had with the Jordan clan :-)

Sunday morning I woke up wanting to desperately make donuts for myself since I've been craving them. It was time. It was such a nice treat too because normally weekend mornings I don't do anything fancy smancy for breakfast!

Clearly I am no food blogger, as a normal food blogger would most likely clean up the donut machine of those pesky little crumbs! I encourage all of you to treat yourself to this mini-donut maker. $30 at Target HOLLA!

That night Kurt and I went for our weekly long run where I had an unfortunate event. I totally hurt my knee and have been limping like I'm Lil Wayne with a gun in his pocket. "See me walkin' with a limp, that's my gunwalk." (that's a song haha!)

But later that night, Kurt and I decided to pretend we were 5 years old again and swing on the swings!

Kurt treated ME to a delectable dinner that night on the grill! Grilled shrimp, a bunch of veggies and quinoa. Holy yum it was divine. There's nothing better than a charcoal grill, let me tell you

It was nice to take a breather and think about myself for a day/weekend! I didn't question anything I did; if I wanted an extra hunk of cheese at the state fair, I ate it. YOLO, right? I know people hate that acronym ha!

Thank you so much Shay for letting me take a step back and enjoy life without the stresses. You seriously rock!! I loved treating myself and I hope everyone else did too! Next time, I am treating myself to an engagement ring....oh whoops did I say that outloud ;-)

Happy Hump Day Loves!
