Café Con Monica

Oh Monday!

January 6, 2014

It was supposed to be back to work today…after two whole weeks off. Who wants that? NOT this girl. Unfortunately the weather is ridiculously cold so schools are closed today. I mean seriously they had to close schools because its cold…not even because of the snow!

 I had to do this twice in less than a week! Digging out my car is not fun! 

I need to find a way to make money while not having to get up and report to a place other than my bed asap! Anything creative is out..since I can’t cut in a straight line and also am about as creative as a brick.

So anyway…the one day I did leave this weekend we went to Medieval Times…I haven’t been since I was a little girl so it was fun to go and just enjoy it with alcohol…oddly enough mid show the fire alarm went off and we were evacuated into the cold…yep…that would happen to me! 


I may have been prisoner for the rest of the weekend but I kind of don’t mind..I’m too afraid to go outside right now anyway. How was your weekend???

My NYE Decor!

January 2, 2014

I have been such a bad blogger since I am on break off work. I am so not excited to go back to work on Monday, thankfully the kids don’t get back till Tuesday. 

You may recall I said The Boy & I would be throwing a 1920’s themed party. I have been doing a ton of planning and prepping. For a while there I was pretty stressed about it but the more I did the more excited I was. 

In true Chicago fashion it started snowing Tuesday afternoon and continued well into today. Some people cancelled last minute because of the weather and the severe lack of cabs is already horrible enough for NYE. 

I got so many ideas off of Pinterest and got a cocktail cupcake idea from Stephanie @ Not Entirely Perfect, gold painted mason jars from Pinterest

The Photo Booth! 

Prop station 

I’ll share the pictures of the rest of the party as soon as I get them all together! 
What did you do for NYE?
