Monday Mornings

December 9, 2013

After my drive this morning I am starting to take the idea of moving out of Chicago seriously. I hate snow. I know I know…everyone complains about it but I can’t help myself. I am a terrible driver when the roads are clear so add in snow and I hate the world even more.

I wish I could say I had some amazing exciting news for this Monday but I don’t. I had a good weekend, the school’s staff Holiday Party was this weekend at Cafe Ba Ba Reba love that place! Whats a better way to spend your Saturday night then tapas and Sangria…and its all free! 
Sunday the family went to the Walnut Room at Macys downtown. This place… its definitely a tradition and its always a great time and the food is good. We waited 2 hours this time, which is just fine if your walking around and if your seeing Santa(we did not this year because my sister & nephew were missing) 
What did you do this weekend? Do you have any Holiday traditions or places you visit with family this time of year? 
Waiting in line
