Nom Nom Nom 

This weekend we celebrated my husband’s birthday!

Saturday - A dinner, just the two of us at Le Colonial. Still one of my favorites. Dinner was followed by drinks, dessert, and people watching at Tavern on Rush. Made new friends and ran into some old ones. Pretty perfect night!

Sunday - Breakfast at Eleven City Diner. I am obsessed with the lox & latke breakfast plate here but it will probably be a while before we go back. The owner is douchey and I hate to support his establishment. He is arrogant, the service is blah, and the host/hostess are rude. Oh so sad since they have the best potato latkes!

The festivities continued with dinner with his family at Sun Wah. This is a trek up north but worth it for the duck. I ate my weight in duck, noodles, tofu, and bok choy but it was delicious! Sweet Mandy B’s cake was literally the icing on the cake to top off a great dinner!

Monday - Today is his actual birthday so of course the party continues! The birthday boy has narrowed it down to Bub City or Boarding House. No complaints here!

After a few days of eating out though, meals at home are on the agenda. I miss the routine of nightly, healthy dinners.

The weather today is perfection. Soaking it up at the park.

Staying at the same hotel where the company that laid me off is having their national sales meeting. Small world.

I have a Friday weekly catch up call with my boss and for the past 3 Fridays she has given me projects that have to be completed by the following Monday or Tuesday. I have worked most of my weekends to make sure I get things done. She just emailed me that she doesn’t know how I turn around things around so quickly and it impressed with my quality of work! I just had to laugh. I am definitely keeping tabs on all this extra work to bring up during review time :) This chica wants a big raise!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, grandma, and my sister!

United really stepping it up. Loving the new healthier meals. Second dinner since I just inhaled enchiladas at the airport. Whoops! I have no will power. Put food in front of me and I will eat it.

I’m at a small trade show which I despise doing but it’s occasionally one of the duties of my job. A competitor just came up and asked me if I was Cindy and I said nope. My name is Sandy. He’s like yeah that’s what I meant. I just gave him the biggest side eye and walked away. Don’t try and chit chat with me. I’m usually pretty nice and don’t mind befriending the competition but today I’m not feeling it, especially because you couldn’t get my name right. Bye bye.

Time to rally! One more night then home bound tomorrow. Friday is a well deserved day off.

In Vegas for work this week and I’m exhausted. This place is not my cup of tea. Resting before a work cocktail reception/dinner. If I had an ounce of energy I would love to go splurge on buying something nice. I’d rather do that than waste my money gambling. Plus I deserve it after the emotional roller coaster week I’ve had. My husband even recommended I go buy a new purse if it will make me feel better. Good man.
