The greatest weekend of all time.

Last weekend was the greatest weekend of our lives. You may think I'm kidding...I'm not.

This happened:


(Yes, I made that extra large for you)

More specifically THIS:


We finaaally got to see Magic Mike. Magic Mike is a charming little tale starring Channing Tatum or Tanning Chatum. It is about a young man by the name of Mike. Mike has a job, he strips. He does other stuff too, but mostly he just strips and parties. It's a rough life. I think he cried in the movie? I'm not really sure what the story line was but that film should win an Oscar! Or at least an MTV movie award...



On Saturday, Steph and I did something super nerdy, but of course not uncharacteristic. Come on, we've been to Harry Potter midnight showings wearing HP t-shirts (it doesn't get much nerdier, unless of course, one of you carried a wand...). ANYWAYS, we went to a Hunger Games themed Wine and Palette. What is a wine and palette you ask? It is an event where you go to a restaurant and paint a pre-determined painting while drinking wine. Honestly, I thought it was pretty stupid the first time I heard about it, but it's actually a lot of fun, even if you don't necessarily have any painting skills.

Each wine and palette is led by an artist who walks you step by step through the process.


In order to dig deep and find the artist within, I opted for a margarita rather than wine.  It's a rather lengthy process (typically three hours) but the the alcohol makes you forget that you are wasting a beautiful Saturday afternoon in a restaurant!


Is she making us draw the creepy monster from Aliens?! 


That damn mockingjay was really difficult to draw, but getting to splatter black paint all over the place was really fun. I think that says something about my anger issues...



Ahem, we free handed those circles.


The finished product! You can bet I have that hanging in my room. And, by room I mean hidden in my closet.
