Monday Musings

Christmas mantle

Is it just me or is it getting harder and harder to leave the scene above and come to work? There should be no work the week of Christmas, who's with me?!

Regardless, I'm here today and although late, thought I'd pop in for a little weekend recap and some things I need to mention.

Friday we went and say Star Wars: The Force Awakens in IMAX 3D. It was everything I had hoped for. It was even worth waiting outside in line for 30+ minutes even though we were there an hour early. I don't want give out any spoilers (although one thing really, really upset me). All I'll say is I really want BB8 to be my personal droid. 'Cause hello, what a cutie.



Saturday was spent sleeping late followed by Christmas errands, wrapping, dip making, dog walking and my favorite White Elephant exchange party! I ended up with a boob scarf, no really they exist, and it was just one of many hysterical gifts, along with homemade mac and cheese and fancy baileys cream pudding shots.

After the party we headed out to celebrate the graduation of another friend. I could have done with more hours of sleep instead, but it was a fun time and  I managed to enjoy myself without over doing it.

Sunday was additional Christmas shopping with mom, baking, wrapping, dog walking and dinner with my parents. The usual perfect ending to every weekend.

Please make sure you check in here tomorrow, because Amy and I have a BIG announcement! It's the one last little order of business around these parts before Christmas. Although I will sneak in some #hashtaghumpday as well!

How was your weekend friends?

Linking up with Biana for weekending goodness!

  2. I really liked Star Wars too! Even though I may have fallen asleep a couple times...it was just too late for me! Ha! I'm wondering if the same thing upset me that upset you... Also BB8 is totally adorable. I want one. Your mantle is so perfect too, by the way.

  16. I feel so torn. Part of me loves Kylo Ren, but like OBVIOUSLY I shouldn't. I'm hoping it's not me enjoying the baddie and more me loving Adam Driver.
