How was your weekend?
My weekend was fun. Friday, was secret santa and happy hour with my coworkers. Except, we ended up losing each other at the end of the night, so that was pretty annoying. Sometimes, when we all go out, we never end up together and people get lost. I joked with my friend earlier, that next time we will all hold hands when we change bars, like a school class trip.
Saturday, FI's cousin came over and we hung out at our place for a bit before going out to meet some of our college friends. They wanted to see the Rockefeller tree, but I already walked by it 2 weeks ago, and I'm pretty sure we will go back when my roommate from college gets into town. So we met them at a restaurant after they were done and had dinner. Yesterday was a low key day. FI and I went out for lunch, then just hung out at home.
And now I am at work for the rest of the week, and the office is of course really quiet because everyone else was smart enough to take off! What about you guys?

Re: How was your weekend?
I'm the fuck out.
Saturday was birthday breakfast with my parents and sister. My eggs Benedict was delicious. Then one of my dad's friends stopped by to deliver late wedding gifts for DH and me. She made us an absolutely gorgeous quilt with our names and wedding date, and all the quilting stitches were shaped like hearts over the entire quilt. It was so thoughtful and unexpected. She and her husband also got us some new cookie sheets, placemats and baking dishes. I made a ton of fudge and caramel corn that afternoon, and DH and I had dinner at the Chinese buffet.
Sunday was my mom's side of the family Christmas gathering. Lots of good food, good wine, and great company. It was a long day, but we had a blast.
All around, it was a great weekend. Busy, but tons of fun.
My weekend was ok
Friday: I had a dentist appointment. It went great, all my teeth are doing good. My gums can be better but who really flosses?! So that was my main highlight ha.
Saturday: I hung out with ne of my old friends and we made her tacky outfit for work. That was fun! But other than that, didn't really do much.
Sunday: My seahawks won! Yay! We decorated the trees too. When I'm visting my family I don't really have a lot to do.
My weekend was good. Friday night H and I celebrated him passing his Series 65 exam with steak and champagne. Huge relief off of his shoulders.
Saturday we ran around like crazy people, trying to get the rest of the things we need for Christmas. I also treated him to lunch at our favorite restaurant to celebrate passing his test. We then proceeded to get day drunk at his parents house. Finally went home and watched Love Actually per my Christmas tradition.
Sunday was the day of getting shit done around the house. H took the dog to his parents house and I did ALL the laundry (including folding and putting away!), cleaned the floors, wrapped presents and cooked dinner. I also drank an entire bottle of wine to get through all of this. H came home and I thought he was going to cry - his Buffalo Bills lost to the Raiders last night and I swear to god I've never seen him more mopey than last night. It was borderline obnoxious, considering his team hasn't made the playoffs in 15 years. This was not surprising. I finally had to leave him on the couch to wallow in his sorrows while I went to bed.
Thursday my fiance and I went to Eataly (Chicago) and then to the Christkindle Market in Daley Plaza. The highlight of each of those was food. At Eataly I had a $14 prime rib sandwich that was just seasoned meat, olive oil, and a kick-ass baguette and I wish I had another stomach so I could eat a second one! My favorite thing at the Christkindle Market is the authentic French creperie where I get a crepe every year- this year it was Nutella and fresh raspberries... I wanted another but I figured eh, why push my luck.
On Friday we ran some errands and then met with a potential officiant, who we will probably hire. Then we had dinner at a little Italian place (we're not from the area we're getting married in, so wanted to try a few restaurants so we could make recommendations to our guests on where to eat).
Saturday my fiance had to work, so I did nothing until 5:30 when my future in-laws picked me up and we went to the extended family's "Clan Christmas." Lots of yummy food and I think I gained 3 pounds that night.
Yesterday, we went grocery shopping, saw the final installment of The Hobbit, watched A Charlie Brown Christmas, and had really fun sex!
ETF: Words
Sunday: I worked. Boo.
Today: I'm off, so this is my weekend bitches. I cleaned Target out of their berry decorative tree picks, and I should bake pumpkin roll. And do some fucking cleaning my house is destroyed.
