My weekend started with a Galentine's celebration on Friday (that's when you hang with your girlfriends to celebrate Valentine's Day. I had never heard of that before this year, so maybe I had been living under a rock). A friend of a friend had rented out a movie theater to watch 50 Shades, and I was invited to attend. It was very upper class! A guy in a suit took our tickets and then escorted us into a special room where 100 other women were anxiously waiting.
The movie was... ok. Certainly not a movie I would want to watch with my parents in the same room, and Dakota Johnson did not fit my vision at all, but I was thoroughly entertained. It certainly helped that everyone else in the theater was of the same mindset. Everyone had read the book, everyone knew what to expect, and there were no husbands or boyfriends there to make fun of us and talk smack. Very nice. I will be writing more about the movie on Wednesday... stay tuned!
Before the movie, we ate at a place called Citra Grill-- they served kabobs and cucumber salads on flat bread. I had never been there before, and since the place was empty when we got there I really didn't have high hopes, but it was really good! I'm also thinking it was moderately healthy, since it was low carb and nothing was fried.

Saturday was Valentine's Day, and my sweet husband got me a couples massage. We have a day off coming up together next month, and the kids will be a spring break camp, so that's something we'll be looking forward to.
But that was the extent of our day of romance. The rest of the day was spent searching for a headboard. We bought a new bed last week, and we upgraded from a queen to a king, so our headboard didn't fit any more. I had gotten it in my head that I wanted an old door as a headboard, so off to the antique shop we went.
Finding a door was easy.... the antique shop had tons to choose from. But The Agent isn't convinced that the finished project wouldn't be as awesome as the picture in my head, so we are exploring other options.
I was consoled by buying a new comforter and pillows for the bed.
We finished off the day with some Dickey's BBQ for dinner and a movie. Good times.
On Sunday, we continued on the search for a headboard. I think we found something that's going to work.... I'll be taking pictures as The Agent makes it and I'll post it whenever it's done--- either as a fabulous DIY or a flop!
Sunday evening was spent enjoying SOA and drinking margaritas. I am giving up alcohol for Lent this year, so I figured I better imbibe now while I can! I cannot even accurately explain how addicted I am to Sons of Anarchy. I am completely and utterly invested in that show! I am halfway through season 5 and I'm already starting to get a little sad. I know there's only 7 seasons, so I'm already more than halfway through the series. Opie, one of my favorite characters, just died, and I about cried my fool head off. Can't wait to see what happens next!
