When the boy is away a girl will play!

My kind of play though. This weekend Eric took a boys weekend to North Carolina to visit his friends. This left me all alone this weekend to fill it with all sorts of girly things. Although I missed him, a girls weekend was just what I needed!

It started off with a huge bang with this:

That's right. Amazement Square's Gathering of Goddesses event. Yup. My former job. I used to run that event. This year I was just attending. SUCH a better way to do it. I actually enjoyed it. Whew! What a night it was. So many people to catch up with! It was definitely the best part. Not to take away the great event that was put on. It was definitely a job well done. Go Susan!

I also got to spend the evening with one of my besties doing crazy things like this:

I also got to check out a jewelry seller that I may actually throw a party with: Stella and Dot.

Gorgeous jewelry but a little pricey. Still fun though. Would you come to my party? Would you support me in making this my part time job? I would LOVE to sell this on the side...

I also got a super awesome TEAL gel manicure. Let's see if it lasts the promised three weeks. I also scored a free pedicure too because my nail technician was having difficulty with the color I picked. Sweet!

This is me showing off my nails while playing with my camera on Saturday - another thing I did while Eric was away!

 

I also did a little shopping on Saturday. Mainly chores but I also brought home some things for me.

Black skinny pants that I have been dying to have! Now after my girly adventures I then picked up some power tools. Oh yeah. I said power tools. While the husband was away.

Ooops. That is a teaser! The power tool project will be revealed later this week. It needs it own post!

The weekend was also full of delightfully cheesy romantic comedies (thank you V-Day weekend!) and some junk food of course. It was also full of painting - yup painting. That is for another post as well!

So what is your definition of the perfect girl's weekend?
