I succeeded on making this weekend a relaxing one, even after my midnight work ordeal on Friday night. Saturday I ran errands, got in a run, finally bought some vegetables and then spent the rest of the night on the couch. Even though I had to opt out of some social invitations, I knew I needed the rest.
I rented Hereafter (recommended by the SIL) and Country Strong (because I’m a sucker for country music being from Oklahoma and all). The former was… okay, the latter was pretty good in my opinion. I even liked Leighton Meester in it, and I usually dislike her a lot.
Sunday afternoon, with renewed spirit, I met up with Stephanie for brunch at Chadwick’s in Old Town Alexandria.
This brunch was solid for so many reasons.
Champagne, screwdrivers and bloody mary’s were all $3. Say what? You know I had to get on that.
A damn good $3 bloody mary. I had a screwdriver before that. What? I didn’t go out on Saturday. It made sense at the time.
I had a really hard time deciding whether I wanted breakfast or lunch food, and ultimately decided on an omelet.
While this wasn’t the best omelet I’ve ever had, it was good and very reasonably priced – $9 for all that food, of which I at all but one bite of omelet and one slice of toast.
It was so good to chat with Stephanie and her friends, who are hilarious and fun as well. I rolled out fat and happy without emptying my wallet.
Super solid.
What’s your favorite breakfast beverage? Alcoholic – bloody mary. Nonalcoholic – coffee with half and half.
