A Surprise Filled Weekend

This weekend was one SURPRISE filled weekend.  On Friday at about 3pm a crazy lady walked in my office with her face covered with paper asking me some crazy question I can't remember.  I feared for my life.  Then she uncovered her face and... SURPRISE!  It was one of my bestest friends in the entire world, LEANDREA, who flew all the way from Atlanta for the weekend! 

First stop - Jimmy John SANDWICHES!  We're a crazy partying bunch. 

She made JMan and I wear party hats for our birthdays:


There was failed cake pop making:

SURPRISE JMAN!  Here's your crappy birthday cake (pops).  Spoiler alert: they went in the garbage.

So here's the back-up birthday dessert:


Leandrea had never really been to Seattle before so we had to do some tourist activities, including checking out the flying fish at Pike Place:


And putting our gum on the Gum Wall:


Checking out the Space Needle and the very first Starbucks:


Getting slurpees at 7-11 (there are no 7-11's in Atlanta):


And of course, we had to go running!  Twice, on Saturday for 12 miles for me and 8 miles for Leandrea, and on Monday morning before she left for 7 miles for me and 3 for her.  Leandrea secretly documented my foam rolling after:


And then she sadly had to leave me.  :-(   MOVE HERE LEANDREA!!!  Don't you wish all your friends could live in the same place? 

And, back to data entry, which is consuming my life these days. 

What did you do this weekend?

Cake pops are easy in theory, but hard in execution! I usually make cakes balls instead of cake pops, because the hardest thing is keeping them on the stick!
It looks like you had a fabulous weekend Nicole! Cake pops are b*tch to make. I had a couple of failed attempts as well, but at least you could make slutty brownies (haha, love saying that). I am slightly obsessed with Jimmy Johns. It is amazing.

I'm glad you had a fun weekend! I did too much last weekend. By the time my butt hit the couch on Sunday night I was exhausted. It was fun though :)

My mom keeps begging to make cake pops, and I'm all "but the ones at Starbucks are so good! and do you really need to eat more than one?" LOL

Sounds really fun!

Ours did NOT taste like the ones from Starbucks!� More like baby food.....
What a great weekend! My two best friends do not live near me and I miss them so much. I lived in Seattle for one year and had a blast! Haven't been back since I left in '95.
