As you already know, my Saturday got off to a lazy start.
The rest of the day, however, was actually incredibly productive.

After Joey got home from helping his sister move, we decided we'd like to go to lunch and run a few errands. We waited it line (somewhat) patiently for some Oklahoma Joe's barbecue, the delicious restaurant located in a gas station, which has been discussed in a previous post.

Then, we headed off to run our errands. We started at Hobby Lobby, where we purchased silk flowers to put into a vase we were given as a wedding gift. The vase is lovely, and has our names and wedding date engraved on the front of the vase - but it's not in our budget to constantly purchase fresh flowers and it's a shame to not being able to display it all the time. So, I tried to get back some of my skills from working at the flower shop, and made an arrangement using silk flowers.  I'm fairly happy with the outcome, but keep in mind that I haven't worked in the floral industry in almost four years! I'm a little rusty, but glad to finally have this project completed.

After leaving Hobby Lobby, we decided to cash in an unused groupon we had purchased a few months ago at the Three Dog Bakery. If you've never been to the bakery, it's an adorable small shop on the Country Club Plaza that sells baked goods for dogs including cakes, brownies, treats, bones/bully sticks, and their own line of homemade dog food. They use all natural ingredients, and we've always had a great experience. The groupon was for $25, so we now have one spoiled pup! We came home with a brownie, a bully stick, and some grilled cheese and tomato soup flavored treats. We chose the boxer brownie, since Draco is a boxer - and he loves it! Here is a photo I snapped of all his goodies before he proceeded to demolish them. 

And, since we were already on the Plaza, we decided to go on over to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. While we've been to the museum on several different occasions, our last trip was for Valentine's Day a few years ago. It was snowing that day, in fact I remember the roads were terrible and it had resulted in a 20 car pile-up on the other end of the city. As a result, we didn't brave the weather to go outside and walk the sculpture garden, which is really the heart of the museum in my opinion. It turns out there is a brand new edition of the sculpture garden, and we choose a warm (for the season) February day to check in out. It is made entirely of stainless steel, and really quite beautiful. We talked the museum for a few hours, focusing mainly on the newer section which houses the contemporary art and photography collections. 

Then, we ended our day with a trip to the grocery store. For dinner, we still weren't terribly hungry since our lunch was so amazing, so we made a snack recipe from Pinterest. We made low-carb pizza bites, which I've had at a work pot-luck, but I had never made them myself. Since I also had a goal of trying 10 new recipes, I guess this can kick off the start of researching that particular goal! 

So, all-in-all, it was a busy (but fun) Saturday! Today, I did a lot more lounging around to make up for it. Now the Oscars are over, and it's time to go to bed!
