Hello! Today was my little brother’s 8th grade commencement ceremony. I made sure to be back in time so I wouldn’t miss it. When he was little I loved helping to take care of him. He’s one of my favorite people so I am having one of those – ‘I can’t believe he’s going to high school’ moments. Ha! But yeah.
I’m in charge of making agua frescas for his party this weekend. I haven’t made them before so wish me luck that I do a good job and don’t ruin the whole thing and everyone gets dehydrated!
After the ceremony I headed back home to clean and unpack. I basically ran out of the house two weeks ago and left everything in shambles! So, I kept my lapper closed and just tried to get it together.
I also hit up Costco for some food essentials. I knew I wasn’t going to want to cook dinner so I picked up a salad kit and California rolls. Costco saves the night!
I also picked up my FAVORITE …
And I know this seems super hard to believe, but I think Vegas actually likes me a tiny bit. I collapsed on the couch to be lazy and he came over to hang out by me…
Hey…
What’s up?
Love.

I love the Asian chicken wraps and chicken salad from Costco. Also their food should taste good rice crackers are delicious!

The only reason I have a car here in the city is to get to Costco. My husband and I go through so many smoothies that I have to stock up on like 6 bags of Power Greens when I go. My favorite thing lately though is their smoked salmon. MMM.
Morgan @ Morgan Manages Mommyhood says
Aww vegas! My cats the same way- she’s a real bitch and literally hunts me, but sometimes she wants to chill right next to me
Flower says
Favorite thing from Costco is the Froyo from the deli, for real. Van and Choc swirl. I get it every time!
Laura Stevens says
You Know what? I just love your cat 😉

Sheena @ Paws and Pavement says
I just went to Costco yesterday! Love me some samples….hello lunch!
I love Skinny Pop popcorn and love that they have a huge bag there. Also got some spinach and cherry tomatoes.
runeatrepeat says
They didn’t have any good samples yesterday, just some smoked gouda I didn’t like. I should go back…
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says

Congrats to your brother! My son just graduated 8th grade too and I’m pretty much in denial about him starting high school!
Is the Costco sushi any good?! I’ll have to try some next time I’m there!
runeatrepeat says
Congrats to your guy too! Can you believe it? They seem so little!
I like Costco sushi, but I don’t like sashimi anyway so I’m not fancy and eat whatever.
Suzy says
Awe, I love Vegas! I want to kiss that little wet nosie. I need a kitty soon, I really do. It’s been far too long.
Kimberly says
I love the big chicken pot pies from Costco. We also buy a lot of bottled water from there. Your blog makes me happy!
runeatrepeat says
I haven’t tried those pot pies, but bought one for my brother and sis in law after they had a baby. Good to know it was actually good 🙂
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I buy my keurig k cups in bulk there! And I love getting big containers of blueberries.
Vegas is so adorable!

Jillie says
Vegas makes me wish I had a Vegas. Sigh, someday.
runeatrepeat says
You can have him if you come get him… he’s just okay.
Cody @ onehungryrunner says
I have never heard of aguas frescas, but it sounds refreshing and delicious. Cannot wait to hear how it turns out! I love Costco’s premade meals–their chicken salad hits the spot 🙂
