WOW- so much to catch yall up on! So last weekend I had my babies- yay! I heard about the Bragg Jam kid's event so of course I took my lil ones down there. I'm not sure they enjoyed the band so much but they did enjoy seeing the pets that were brought down. (No- we did not take any home.) We ended up making our way up the street to the Georgia Children's Museum, where we have a membership. My lil ones always have a blast there and this time was no different. The next day we went to the pool, and just kind of hung out and had some quiet time. Time with my babies is probably something I will not talk about often on this blog, not because I do not have fun with them because I do- but for their safety I will only reference events I go to with them vaguely and only well after the event.
We also checked out Centenary Church- it is very different from any church I have gone to and they take pride in that. I plan on going again, because I have always enjoyed checking out other forms of worship. And I was impressed by their varied song selection and laid back atmosphere.
This past week was rather full also! Every now and then I do need to go and check out the boutiques around town in person- I am sure yall are aware of my fashion blog www.makeitworkmolly.com - so it is necessary that I do research occasionally. There are great sales everywhere but this time I went in Rumor Boutique, fab'rik, Ginger Michelle, and Envie Boutique. You see, I have been on a specific mission lately: Operation Find the Perfect LWD for Tori's White Party. My friend Tori has a white party for her birthday party every year, and of course I've been trying to find just the right white dress. I have plenty already but I really wanted to find another one with the right look (for specifics see the blog I will write later for Make It Work Molly). I believe I have found the winner but I still may need yalls help to vote.
This weekend included lots of First Friday activities. Straight after work I headed to meet the group at downtown grill- we were not there long before we got our marching orders from one person in the group to move along. (I am not saying these were bad marching orders- in fact they were very good as it resulted in a lot of fun.) Next we headed to the First Friday exhibit at The Gallery at Macon Arts Alliance: "Size Matters". This is a collection of large works featuring Thomas Sanders, Joe Adams, Eric O'Dell, Laura Dewberry Surace and Jeffrey Surace. I thoroughly enjoyed this exhibit and frankly if you haven't gone- you need to go asap. There is something for everyone- whether you prefer abstracts (Joe Adams and Thomas Sanders) or realism (Eric O'Dell).
Next door we went to the viewing party for Oh Brides Magazine. This group of ladies are always super fun to me- Shondra, Jeralyn, and Amy I always love to see yall! For any of my friends with wedding needs THESE ladies are sure to help you out!
From here the next stop was The Rookery- where we ran in to Roger Riddle and everyone from Roasted. I gotta say, first about The Rookery I can remember when this place was super sketchy and it was scary to go to the bathroom there much less even THINK about touching the food. Now- oh my gosh they have the best burgers and chicken salad. YUM. Oh and the bathrooms are not scary anymore either lol.
From here we ended the night back where we started- at downtown grill. As always the food was amazing. It always is. I can seriously go from getting a filet to sea scallops and it's freaking perfect. The wine selection is amazing and so is the service. I could really go on and on but I love going someplace where everyone knows you and you are treated like a good friend. Of course, I have worked in many restaurants so I am lucky that this generally happens at most places but I can honestly say I have witness this at downtown grill for everyone. (It's a habit- to watch at restaurants.)
As for yesterday? Not a whole lot happening actually, just an easy day of antiquing at Payne City Antique Mall, a trip to Fresh Market, and more antiquing along Ingleside. Later on a visit with friends David and Stephen and a movie (which did make me cry- Simon Birch- if you have't seen it you need to). And for today... not too much going on. Obviously catching up on my blogging (watch out on Make It Work Molly for an interview with Susannah Maddux of Goods PR), doing a lil work for my real job, and trying to relax. Oh, we did make it to church at St. Paul's Episcopal on College Street as well as lunch at Dolce Vita- by the way... it was amazing (got the Classic- egg, cheese, and bacon in flatbread as well as a cheese biscuit).
So, maybe now I can start to relax? Eh... probably not ;) Yall know me better than that! Til next time...
