Friday night was a poorly timed snow event that gridlocked most areas with non treated roads or sidewalks in the city, yet we pressed on and had a merry old time at my work Christmas party at McCormick & Schmick's. I'm the organizer so I'm always happy when it comes off well and people have a good time. It was a long, cold, snowy walk back to my car when we got off the train and we didn't get home until after 1.
Saturday
Bruce loves the snow so I spent most of the morning outside with him so he could tear ass around and eat it.
Lori came down and we had lunch with Pop at Red Robin, screamed with joy like five year olds when we had to pull over for Santa on the fire truck, and hit Ulta and Target before stopping at Lola's house (last photo courtesy of her photography). We had a laughing all the way day like we always do.
I made a quick dinner, then had a lay around with the dogs watching four episodes of Broadchurch as MFD was out volunteering and doing mummery most of Saturday night.
Sunday
Bruce was up from like 5 am on and I was on the couch for much of that time trying to pretend he wasn't so the morning started out slow. I read the dumpster fire news in my banned books socks because we are banning words now, hung with the dogs, did three loads of laundry, saw MFD on the NYT online, and reminded myself why I switched to gifts in reusable bags for people outside of the home.
I also re-upped my flowers with my preferred Christmas berry looking things.
