This weekend. If there would be words for this weekend, there just wouldn't be any.

It was a weekend of celebrating my husband's birthday and a weekend of spending time with friends. 

Friday night we headed to Phikly to see Aziz Ansari. He did not disappoint. Had me laughing the whole time and especially loved his jokes on relationships. 

Then. On Saturday. I lived a dream come true. That's right. I got to grab some coffee from Central Perk! Only after waiting 3 hours in a very long line, but who was counting?

I couldn't BE more excited!

If you aren't familiar with it {which I will now be judging you for} Central Perk is the coffee shop from the TV show Friends. It is the place where Ross, Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Phoebe and Monica spent countless hours of the show, chatting, laughing and living out many story lines.

 It was replicated by Eight O'Clock Coffee and Warner Bros. in Soho, but only for a limited time. It opened September 18 and runs until October 18 where in that time, you can enjoy a free cup of coffee and a nice sit on the orange couch.

Once inside, it almost feels like you really could be catching up with the Friends cast any moment. And the memoribilia is enough to make any true Friends fan absolutely giddy. The clothes the cast wore, Monica and CHandler's wedding invite, rings and vows, the ceramic dog Joey keeps and even Emma's sonogram.

You then step over to order your special Eight O'Clock, free coffee from the barista. Definitely, no Gunther but still cool to walk up and order your coffee.

Then, of course, there is the orange couch. The glory of the whole show. Any Friends fan would truly appreciate the fact that it is sitting there in all its glory. Worn down, dirty but sat on countless times to make a show I love.

They allow you to take pictures on the couch, as many as you want as long you wait in line. We took a few snaps because why not?

He's my lobster.

This was something I am so glad we were able to do. It was such a nice day out and it was easy to pass the 3 hour wait line with good friends there with us. If you are a Friends fan and in the area, you definitely do not want to miss this.

After that excitement, We took a nice stroll through Soho where of course, I had to stop in the Kardashian store, Dash. I couldn't afford one thing in that store but it was fun to pretend I could.

We continued our TV day with dinner and drinks at MacLaren's...I mean McGees pub.

This is the pub that the creators of How I Met Your Mother based it off of. It includes the bar, booths and mural on the wall. The differences are many but can see the similarities when you enter the first floor of the bar.

The HIMYM themed drinks did not disappoint. Although, the Robin Sparkles tasted more like a strong cherry medicine than a strong drink. But I would recommend The Pineapple Incident. 

And my burger was amazing. And I know burgers. Also, I had a frozen sangria and a large plate of loaded nachos. The day before my 7 day diet I was going hard. 

We ended the weekend with sleeping in, waffles and a few errands. I am now exhausted all over again but wouldn't have changed anything about the weekend. 

What were your weekend plans?

What 20 Years of Friends Has Taught Me

This day 20 years, we were given one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Friends made its debut Septemeber 22, 1994.

I was the young age of 7 and had no idea what being married was and all the jokes from the first seasons would have gone way over my head. But by the time I was 13, I was a religious watcher of the hit Thursday night TV show.

Just like How I Met Your Mother...Friends has made its way into many homes the past 20 years. And has become a serious obsession in this household. I am also pretty sure I had at least 4 of the 20 "Rachel" haircuts.

 If you are just joining in on my obsession with the TV show, just let me say..

Fact. Brian used to ask me how I still laughed at the jokes when I can pretty much say every epsiode word for word. And the answer? Because it's that funny.

What the TV show Friends has taught me

Growing up can kind of stink. With jobs and responsibilities, it's a lot of work.

 But in the middle of all of that can be the best kind of fairytale. The best part of your life can make the mundane and really hard stuff a lot easier.

 That Superman can actually be a part of Christmas if you really want him to be.

Margaritas are grown up drinks. And can be pronounced "MARGA-RIIITASSSS" while eating "FAJITASSS"

AND ALWAYS USE A POTHOLDER

Being pregnant is going to be AWESOME because I can juggle drinks on my belly.

WHAT A TRICK

I definitely need to put a turkey on my head with sunglasses and dance because...well, it's just hilarious.

There is always time for foolery and not being a grownup.

That turning 30 might be as terrifying and wonderful as expected.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

Bubble baths are just as great as they sound.

I would know exactly what to do if a guy said...

And that if you're veyr lucky, you just meet your very best friend in college and collect a few great ones along the way,

What are your favorite lessons from Friends?
