On Mondays…

February 1, 2016

How did it get to be Monday already…and how have I not blogged since Wednesday?? I’ll tell you how. I am sick…again. Yep. I am pretty sure this school year is the year of my failed immune system. I spent all of Wednesday, Thursday & Friday on my death bed and then saturday-today trying to breathe through my nose. Couple that with a hangover from hell on Sunday and I am lucky to be alive today. Ok ok I’m being dramatic.

School is kicking my ass people. I was up last night trying to finish 3 assignments I had no idea were due by midnight while extremely hungover. Not smart. 
I had a pretty decent weekend otherwise. Saturday was the only day I did anything besides lay around or study. The Boyfriend and I headed downtown to Chicago Athletic Association game room for a friends birthday. I haven’t been there before and I wish someone had told me about it sooner! It was a great time with them…too tooo many drinks and a rainy few moments on the rooftop. I’m dying to check out the rooftop area a little more…maybe a fun date night idea. 
So yea…some pics to sum it! 

The rooftop…and yes I am drunk in this picture. 

The Bean! 
I was in love with this outfit. Got the dress at Banana Republic for 60% off the sale price!! Also…don’t mind the toilet. 

At some point there was a game of shuffleboard that was lost badly…and our name never got called for Bocce Ball before we left. 
How was your weekend?

On Humpday Confessions…

January 27, 2016

It is that time again….

I confess…
– I have been slacking a little bit with blogging the last two weeks. I need to check my notes for blogging ideas and get some posts ready for the next few weeks. #seriousslackershit 
– Being back to adulting while in school full time is exhausting. I forgot how much. I also forgot that it means I have no more fun weekday social life. I totally wanted to meet up with some friends for drinks last night but I had class. #adultingsucks 
– My cold is back and I sound like a man. Its hilarious and yet unfortunate. The Boyfriend was cracking jokes this morning about my sexy manly voice. Ummmm…. #bringmesoup
– I spend a sad amount of time on Reddit. Seriously. It is why I don’t go to bed ontime ever. I had to take it off my phone for awhile. There is just so much new stuff all the time!! ALL THE TIME! I find guys are always the ones surprised when they find out I love Reddit because I am not a dude who lives in my mom’s basement #addictedtoreddit 
– I can’t even begin to fathom spending $100+ on a pair of yoga pants. Seriously. Do the pants guide you through the exercises? Do they buy you a drink and some chocolate after? Do they wash themselves? Do they provide some kind of vibration in the crotch area??  If not? Not a chance. #nogracias This comes about having to see this girl I know in lululemon all the time. I was like please tell me you are wearing the same pants everyday and you aren’t telling me that you have more than one pair!?  I know some of you bloggers probably have them and that is fine. I simply can’t justify spending that kind of money on pants that don’t do something amazing to me while wearing them. 
Alright alright…that is enough for today! Link up and confess!

On Tuesdays…

January 19, 2016

Somehow Tuesday still feels like a Monday after a long weekend. How was everyone’s weekend?? I wish I could say I did more but really the weather in Chicago makes me a big ass sissy. I saw the temp on Sunday and said Nope…and then yesterday it was so cold I didn’t get to go ice skating with my nephew as planned. So I’ll just share the few pictures I did get this weekend…

Went to have Sushi and see The Revenant for date night on Friday and The Boyfriend was dying before dinner….

– The Revenant was fantastic. Some of my friends were not a fan of the whole Leo dragging himself around for about 45 minutes but I loved it. I also love Tom Hardy and it was crazy how not like himself he looked!

– My friend came home for the weekend and we had this whole crazy night out planned but after driving for 13 hours and being up for 24 she all about getting dinner, a couple drinks and heading home to sleep before she had to leave again. I was super excited just to see her though!

– Sunday was spent watching Foosball with The Boyfriend and his buddy. Unfortunately, the Seahawks are out. They came back strong but it just wasn’t enough to win the game. BUT omg the jokes on Twitter about Russell Wilson were killing me. Too much. 

– I was supposed to go Ice Skating with my nephew and sister on MLK day since we had off but I woke up to this nonsense….

-So there was no skating…Instead I meal prepped for the next few days since I am working and then off to school till 9 pm Monday-Thursday now…Yuck. 

I’m going to go creep on your blogs now!
