brrr!
that’s what my toes would say if they could talk.
wow! only a week left until christmas! what a bummer! my favorite season is almost over. 🙁 but at least i have a few days of fun ahead of me. 🙂
this weekend was fun. friday night was eric’s annual christmas office dinner (party), and this time it was at the q’s, located inside the boulderado hotel. i met eric on the street corner outside of a parking garage, after having driven through a light snow flurry, and together we trekked on in. (this is a good point to say thank goodness for my new coat! i finally had to purchase a maternity coat, as i had ‘grown out’ of all my others) the restaurant was nice and toasty warm, and the dinner gave us a chance to chat with eric’s co-workers and their significant others. the food was super good, too.
being pregnant, i’m finding that i don’t really have an appetite for some things that i would previously have gobbled down. so, after passing on the deviled egg with caviar, and dinner ceaser salad, i chowed down on a mushroom bisque with truffle sauce, gnocci with winter squash, and the most delicious and tasty bread pudding with figs, caramel sauce, chantilly cream, and vanilla bean ice cream. mmmmmm……..
the rest of the weekend was decidedly not as tasty as friday night, but more productive. eric started spakling the basement, and i painted the spare room. and yup, that took up saturday and sunday. with some things like wii playing thrown in for good measure.
here’s a photo of the weekly ‘toy swap’…..

friday is eric’s birthday and our anniversary, and i think he’s going to take it off from work so we can go see a movie (‘i am legend’) and go out to eat (cheesecake factory), both very exciting things for us. 🙂 i’m saving the movie ‘sweeny todd’ for christmas day….i can barely contain myself! 😀

ahh candice i feel exactly the same way about this season. it always goes by too fast, even though in my line of work i’ve been working on christmas stuff since september! 🙂
i always get a bout of the post-christmas depression. i feel sorry for poor eric, not only are his birthday and christmas at the same time of the year, his anniversary is, too! :O
sounds like you guys have a good christmas planned if you’re going to see sweeney todd. 🙂
