Friday Night

Oh how things change over a few years.  My early 20's I would rather die than be home alone on a Friday night.  But last night could not have been better.  29 years old and now my thoughts are, "I hope I don't have any plans Friday night so I can stay in and relax!" Ha! My 23 year old self would be horrified.  But I guess that is what happens, you adapt to how life changes.  Being a single girl and friends with married girls has its perks; staying home on a Friday night has become one of them.  All week I was looking forward to the plans I was making with myself for Friday night: do a couple loads of laundry, wrap up in a big blanket with a homemade bucket of popcorn and watch endless episodes of Lost until I fall asleep (which was actually around 9:30 haha!).  And it was perfection! Except for the part where I made an enormous amount of popcorn for one person, which went flying and spilling everywhere.  And when I impatiently wanted to peak under the lid to get a glimpse of the popcorn popping, a kernel popped right out and flew into my eye.  For a moment I thought I might be blind, but it all ended well.  This is the life.

Fro Yo Part 2

I am blogging this out of order because this next place was actually the first place I went to.  My friend Jillian introduced me to this wonderful place and I have to say it is my favorite so far.  The frozen yogurt place? Sweet Toppings in Andover.

 
I met Jillian here after work a few weeks ago on a hot Saturday evening.  They had seating outside and a bucket of colorful chalk to decorate their patio.
 

Here is my contribution to the art on the patio.  Notice the heart... yeah, that is because I love this place!
 
 
Just looking at this picture makes me want to go back there right away to have some more! I chose pistachio and mango flavored frozen yogurt with fruit and shaved coconut toppings. So good!
We decided to finish our treat inside where I was attacked by a bug... but I won't hold it against the place.  They have board games you can play at your table and so we decided to play a round of Dominos.  Overall, this place was amazing and my favorite so far.
 
Stats:  Frozen Yogurt selection: good variety and delicious.  Toppings: lots of fruit choices, great.  Ambiance: so so, there was nothing too exciting about the decoration but the chalk, board games and kids movie playing inside made it super fun.  Overall: Spectacular
