On Mondays…

December 7, 2015

Why does Monday come around so quickly? I had a pretty low key weekend, it was great. Had a nice date night, went to a family party for the Boyfriend’s family where they watched the Iowa game (sad night for the boys), went to see Santa at Macy’s and had a Sunday funday that included way too many mimosas…tooo many. 
I managed to stalk catch the holiday train this year! It is one of those things I love to do each year, a holiday tradition for myself! 

Date night included some Thai food because I always ALWAYS ask for Thai. Since the Boyfriend is now obsessed with Fro-yo we had that too. Again…he mixed up some nasty stuff in his cup.

I’m going to make a whole post for our Santa visit but for now I can share my selfie…

The boys watching the Iowa game…they were so excited and then…they weren’t. 
Sunday my roomie and I went to Red Door  for Brunch and bottomless Mimosas! She was supposed to go to work at 3…that didn’t happen. I got home and ended up taking a nap and relaxing..didn’t get any of the errands or Xmas wrapping that I had planned done.
This is round 2…
Then the Boyfriend came back from the Bears game where they unfortunately lost to a team they should have won and while he snored his sorrows away I watched my 2nd Star Wars movie. 

How was your weekend? Did you do anything Christmassy?(that is not a word)

    The holiday train looks amazing. They do that here from NJ into Philly and it was this weekend…my friend went and said it was frighteningly crowded!
