Monday Funday…

I woke up in a good mood today…which is surprising since we lost an hour and I love sleep. But that aside…I had a pretty interesting weekend!

Let me just tell you all that sometimes a Sunday night dinner with your best friend can make everything right in the world. It has been a long time since we have done that and I think it definitely made my weekend end on a great note!

On another happy note we surprised Sniferella with an edible arrangement & some gifts from the Pleasure Chest because we are good friends and that is what good friends do!

I couldn’t figure out how to steal the damn pic! I may have mentioned before I love Uncle Julio’s and I was so excited to catch up with Apples finally! 

Birthday girl! 

Her Edible Arrangment 

I’ve been dying for some Jamaican food so The Boy took me to one of the spots we like and we pigged out big time! 

Seems like I ate a lot this weekend! How was yours?? 

Things I don’t regret…

I find myself coming across posts with people voicing regrets more often than saying what they don’t regret so I thought I might try something a little different….

–I don’t regret not going away to school. It was an option, I chose to stay and didn’t finish. Everything happens for a reason and wasting 60K+ and not having a clue what career I wanted seems not so smart…
–I don’t regret the mistakes I made with a certain guy. You live & you learn right? It made me appreciate what I had even more and it also made me see how shitty some men can be…
–I don’t regret making the decision to go to Thailand instead of moving to Florida to live near my real father and work for him. I got to see places in the world I had only dreamed of instead of ending up in an office working hard to impress my father. 
–I don’t regret the trip I took with K, that almost ruined our friendship. When all was said and done we go to do so much and even though it was a mess for most of it I don’t regret getting to see 5 different countries and try tons of new things.
–I don’t regret letting go of that toxic friendship and refusing to pick it up again. She was never a good friend to me and I never knew how to let it go…but I did and even though it still lingers and she is still around I never want to go back down that road again. 
–I don’t regret deciding to stay in Chicago and not immediately rushing right back abroad when things got tough. This one actually took the past couple months to really confirm that I am ok with that decision. If I had run right back I may not have worked things out with The Boy, I may have missed some amazing moments with my family. 
–I don’t regret blogging. At times I have worried that what I say on here could bite me in the ass, especially some things I wrote in the beginning but it has always been honest and blogging generally makes me happy! 
What are some things you don’t regret??

weekend junk…

So I may have mentioned I moved in with The Boy finally…we are going to try and be all domesticated and stuff. First official night moved in and the pipe in the basement breaks(you don’t even want me to start on how that happened) and we have no water. I would really just like to say a giant EFF YOU to Chicago weather.

Anyway…I had a great weekend! Thursday I got to see Dierks Bentley at Joe’s , Friday-  I got a little bit of time to do nothing and watch Scandal and House of Cards, Saturday-got to go out with my girls and Samba move my feet in what I thought might appear to be Samba- our butts off and Sunday- I got to spend some time with the family sledding & having yummy food!

Dierks Bentley!
Samba event! 
Sledding! 
How was your weekend??
