Weekend Happenings: Dancing, Doughnuts, and Pool Time

Happy Sunday to all of you!  We’re having a lazy Sunday morning.  I should be cleaning.  But I’m not.  Not yet, anyway.  I can’t put it off for long, ‘cause there isn’t one room in this house that is clean.  But since I am procrastinating, I thought I would do a picture-heavy post and show you what we’ve been up to!

Friday night I went to the Azucar festival in Charlotte.  This is a festival by the Latin-American Coalition and celebrates Caribbean culture and cuisine.  There was lots of dancing, drinks, and food!  I was there to perform with some fellow “dancing queens.”

And finally, I must share some doughnuts with you.  You may have heard that Friday was National Doughnut Day.  Sadie and I observed this super-important holiday Friday morning with a trip to Dunkin Donuts.  (Every Friday is “Doughnut Day” for us.  We usually stop and get her a doughnut each Friday morning. ) Since I didn’t have to work until 10 a.m., we got to have a “girl’s breakfast” together.

(I always get the egg-white flatbread sandwich instead… this time it was the veggie egg-white sandwich.)

Oddly enough, my friend Jenn was celebrating Doughnut Day, too!  Last night I was catching up on some of my blog-reading and I read Jenn’s post about how to make homemade doughnuts.  I never knew it was so easy!  Since we already had all the ingredients, Sadie and I made them this morning.

YUMMO!  They were delicious! You definitely need to head over to Jenn’s post and find out how to make them!

Okay… I guess it is time to stop procrastinating and get to work on this messy house.  Yeck.  Happy weekend!
