I have had such a wonderful weekend. I couldn't just pick one thing to blog about so instead I'm just going to recap all that happened over the past couple of days.
On Friday night, Chris took me out to eat at a little Italian restaurant in Lincoln Park called Rose Angelis. We sipped red wine while dining on delicious food and a decadant dessert of triple chocolate mousse. It was beautiful and quaint and lovely. :)
Saturday I stayed in during the day and sewed on sequins to the Advent Calendar my 96-year-old grandmother made me. It took 7 hours but I got the entire tree outlines in gold sequins. Now I'm tackling all the tiny ornaments, which is much more time consuming than I originally thought it would be. But I'm enjoying working with my hands and it's fun to watch the tree grow brighter and shinier with sequins.
Saturday night was Sarah Kahl's birthday party. Paddy rented out a bowling alley and a huge group of us met up to go bowling. I bowled a 168 and rolled a turkey (which is 3 strikes in a row)! I've only gotten a turkey one other time in my life and it was a lot of fun doing the turkey dance with Manno and Paddy. It was such a fun party and I was grateful to be able to celebrate Sarah's birthday with her. :)
Sunday morning I headed off to church and then on to the Logan Square Farmer's Market where Mike surprised me with a box of veggies! It's not my typical week to pick-up but he just prepared a box for me anyway. I'm having Carolyn over for dinner tomorrow night and I'm going to cook us up some organic pork chops, peaches and cream corn, steamed green beans and blueberries for dessert. Yum!
Sunday afternoon I met up with Anna at Bleeding Heart Bakery for a mid-day sweet treat. It was great catching up with her since she got back from volunteering at the organic farm in Arizona. It was just fun hanging out and talking and I'm glad she's joining the Green Committee with me!
Now it's Sunday night. Chris is in Pittsburgh for the Steeler's game and I'm sitting around sewing sequins on ornaments. I have a big day tomorrow so I'm trying to mentally prepare for it. Just reflecting on this weekend makes me feel good and happy. :)
