On Weekends…

I should have posted this yesterday but I have a two day work week(be jealous its ok) so I have been crazy busy.


But I wanted to share this little bit of photos with you! I did almost everything I said I was going to do on my Five on Friday list this weekend….only missing watching Catching Fire.

Ice Skating at Millennium Park Friday night! 
We had two other couples join us so that was a lot of fun 🙂 


Saturday night…celebrated this girl’s birthday! 

Sunday….even though it was damn near freezing at 19 out we went paintballing!
Mrs. M joined us…so now she is officially a badass…running marathons and paintballing…she does it all 🙂 

Can’t  be complete without at least showing one ridiculous welt I have! 
How was your weekend?? 

Just another Monday…

Well Hello there! 

I was completely uninspired last week and rather than post a bunch of link-ups I thought I would give myself a bi-week. I am doing much better this week…I think…it is only Monday so this could change. 

Have you felt uninspired to blog at all? What are some tips or ways you got through it?? 

I thought I would share some photos from my iphone to give you an idea of my life lately.…

I really want to warn you that it is mostly food and not enough of excitement

I was dying for some good Thai food so The Boy and I set out to make me some Panag chicken & we did not disappoint 

Then I caught a nasty cold….some Pho because who doesn’t love it when they are sick! 

Went on a tour of  Lake Effect Brewery, that  I mentioned before having heard about it on Stephanie’s Blog! We had a great turnout, 3 other couples came out. 

Random morning…this is what I have to deal with in bed… 

I am not a fan of Mexican food…as I have mentioned a million times before but sometimes I can tolerate it. So we set out for breakfast and ordered Chilaquiles….I had no idea what was coming my way. If this looks huge in photo you have no idea! 

By the way it can be found at Amigos Chinos 
Random Target visit with my mother….can’t make a trip without some kind of ridiculous photo! 

  I joined a secret santa gift exchange on a blog I follow Fat Mum Slim  I think I mentioned it before…but after stalking my partners FB postings in the group and asking questions on Elfster I finally got some of her gifts and I am soooo excited to send them! They are going to Australia so I am going to put them in the post hopefully by the end of the week. Just waiting for one more thing! 

 

Also…already bought & wrapped my nephew’s gift. I refuse to wait till the after Thanksgiving rush to do the easy shopping…it will make me nuts!  
For those of you in Illinois you experienced the storms yesterday. I am sending lots of positive thoughts to the people who suffered all the damage by the tornadoes and storms. I was stuck in Target for about an hour because of the rain and wind. For about 20 mins they asked everyone to move to the back of the store and then after I just sat waiting till I thought I would actually be able to drive the 2 miles back to my parents. Definitely scary stuff. 


What is going on in your life??  

On Halloween!


Its a great day to work at a small school! The Elementary kids had to get creative and be a historical character the primary kids all got to be whatever cute thing they could come up with! 

I am a Minion! My group of friends is pretty great with dressing up so this year Snifferella came up with the awesome idea of being Minions…and we made it happen! 

Here are some pics from last weekends shenanigans with my friends out celebrating: 

This is how a minion looks when they enjoy the music! 

My lovely sister!! 

Dancing my minion ass off with two of my sister & Snifferella 

I’m going to trick or treat with my nephew if the weather permits and then just pass out candy.
How are you spending your Halloween??
