On Mondays…After Christmas

December 28, 2015

Can you believe it is the Monday after Christmas already? Counting down the last days of 2015! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great weekend too.

This year my Christmas was a little different and I loved it. I spent Christmas Eve morning baking cookies with The Boyfriend and then headed to my parents for a PJ Christmas.

 Usually there are so many of us we don’t get to sit at one table but this year we asked the extended family to join us later in the evening so we could all sit at one table together.

Opened lots of great gifts and had our gingerbread contest…which I lost for the 1st time(my mom is a cheat!!)

On Christmas day we opened gifts from Santa and then headed to the movies in our new pajamas to see Daddys Home! It was super funny and highly recommended!

After the movie I headed to celebrate with The Boyfriend’s family. This is a first for me because I am pretty adamant about not splitting holidays, I don’t like the stress of getting from one place to the other and people waiting for you or being disappointed on a holiday. Since after the movie is usually the time I head home it actually worked out perfectly that they have dinner on Christmas day.

I got some gifts from his family and him and clearly with that book he knows me very well!! 

He got me some great gifts this year…

On our first vacation together we took a sailboat trip in Costa Rica..how cute is that charm???
It was a great Christmas and a fantastically relaxing weekend! How was your Christmas???

On Wednesdays…

December 23, 2015

Oooh man I can’t believe it is Wednesday already! For some reason I thought that Christmas was this Saturday/Sunday so I didn’t plan my days well! Luckily I am all wrapped, done and ready to run the last of errands and get my food prepped for tomorrow.

thought I might share some confessions…

– I have slept till 10 everyday this week and its magnificent!

– I almost killed The Boyfriend because he almost made us late to see The Lion King…It was a deadly calm kind of scary, I didn’t freak out but in my mind I was threatening serious bodily harm.

-This rainy weather business is no fun…cold and rainy sucks. Big time.

– I’m typing this on my phone and have no idea how to use this new app on my new phone so there will be no fun pictures.

– I’m very excited to get my ass into gear starting Saturday morning…hoping to get started before the resolution crowd starts their take over of the gyms.

– Still no clue what i am doing for NYE and Im not even stressed about it…this is a big deal for me.

I hope you guys all have a fantastic rest of your week!!!

On Fridays Faves!!!

December 18, 2015

Let me tell you ladies…I am so happy it is Friday! Last day before Winter Break and its only really a few hours of work!!

– The Boyfriend and I finally had sushi this week and I was a happy camper…I wont even tell you how much I ate…it was disturbing. 
– This is the last photo my coworkers and I took together before we dispersed for the crazy! 
– Guess who is going to see Lion King this weekend??? Oh yea bitches!! ME!!! wooooo!!!! The boyfriend got us tickets for my xmas gift that I have been asking for since May! Wooo! 
– Tickets to see Adele went in July when she comes to CHicago went on sale yesterday. 3 days and no damn tickets. I tried all morning and couldn’t get any!!! 
I would say I have a 5th but I am trying to get the eff out of here!! I promise not to disappear just because I am on winter break but if you need me I will have my face shoved in a book!!
