i love weekends.

friday after work i was kidnapped and met up with my friends at nikko for sushi. it was my first time there, which is silly since i can walk from my house, and it was delicious! i had the spicy shrimp & crab salad roll and the dragon roll (shrimp tempura, avocado, eel). not sure it beats pisces as my favorite sushi spot but it was a close second! after dinner i headed over to chelsea & katie's house for jason's birthday party!

saturday morning i woke up, ran to the grocery, and then headed to brad's house. we had mimosas, wings, brisket, beer, and lots of fun. the gamecocks won & i got to spend the day with my pals - always makes for a good saturday!

i had to work for a few hours saturday night and then met up with everyone again to bar hop the night away. and while the bars did stay open an extra hour due to DST, i made the wise decision to head on home right around the time my guy friends signed up for karaoke.

sunday morning i slept in and then went to the panthers game with my parents. it was a lovely afternoon at the game and the panthers are 5-3 for the first time in forever!

 after the game we accidentally went on a 4 mile stroll around uptown before ending up at all american pub for dinner. the weekend ended with an extremely intense episode of homeland  and my heart beating out of my chest.
