On Mondays after TBOX….

December 14, 2015

How is it Monday already?? how??!?

Just need to make it through this week…

This weekend was actually super busy and productive which might shock you if you knew that I spent most of the day Saturday drinking. But I made it happen!

Friday – was pretty relaxing…I had a big weekend ahead of me.

Saturday – #TBOX2015 The boyfriend got up ridiculously early and made us a big breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon) and we had a couple shots before we headed out to meet his friends and start the festivities! And basically it was drunken happy from then on.

This is the best of 5 pictures…

Probably my 8th cereal shot of the day 

He was really serious about getting all the cereal

Lets just say I had a damn great day! Also…I was damn drunk so forgive the fact that my eyes are barely open in any of the photos! We were done and in bed by 4:30 and that was basically all we could do with ourselves for Saturday! 
Sunday- I went to a Friends place for a Ladies Christmas Tea party she has every year! I brought along my mom and we ate, drank some spiced cider and crafted a little bit. It was a great time! We also went an aunts house to have dinner and then to a Christmas Festival show…busy busy busy. 

OOh boy this is picture heavy….sorry!! I hope you all had a great weekend!!

On Mondays…

December 7, 2015

Why does Monday come around so quickly? I had a pretty low key weekend, it was great. Had a nice date night, went to a family party for the Boyfriend’s family where they watched the Iowa game (sad night for the boys), went to see Santa at Macy’s and had a Sunday funday that included way too many mimosas…tooo many. 
I managed to stalk catch the holiday train this year! It is one of those things I love to do each year, a holiday tradition for myself! 

Date night included some Thai food because I always ALWAYS ask for Thai. Since the Boyfriend is now obsessed with Fro-yo we had that too. Again…he mixed up some nasty stuff in his cup.

I’m going to make a whole post for our Santa visit but for now I can share my selfie…

The boys watching the Iowa game…they were so excited and then…they weren’t. 
Sunday my roomie and I went to Red Door  for Brunch and bottomless Mimosas! She was supposed to go to work at 3…that didn’t happen. I got home and ended up taking a nap and relaxing..didn’t get any of the errands or Xmas wrapping that I had planned done.
This is round 2…
Then the Boyfriend came back from the Bears game where they unfortunately lost to a team they should have won and while he snored his sorrows away I watched my 2nd Star Wars movie. 

How was your weekend? Did you do anything Christmassy?(that is not a word)
