Weekend Recap! :)

Today I stepped in dog shit. 

It was about 10 minutes after I found out that my roommate has strep throat....as in 6 days before Christmas. 

I love her, but man alive, she picks some good times to be sicky...like right before our Maui trip...and right before my bday... 

Inevitably, it sends me into an emergen-C drinking, antibiotic taking, crazy tailspin trying to prevent getting sick before said important event(s). 

*sigh* 

So, I decided to abandon ship and head to Eric's to blog and hang out for the evening...but not before taking out the trash. I mean, I can't let a sick person be stuck with wheeling the big can to the curb. 

And that's when the dog shit happened. Full-on-mushy-step in the front yard. *gag and shudder* 

Dudes, it's all making me a little nervous for this being the start of Christmas week.... haha... 

But, I'm not sick yet (knock on wood!) and the pooooooo has been removed from my shooooooe... So, let's pretend Monday is the actual start of the week.. :)

And now for more important ramblings, this weekend was fun! I cannot believe Christmas is so freaking close! Excited! 

Friday night, Eric and I had dinner with a couple of his friends... Good times. Lots of laughs over lots of vino. They were much bigger wine aficionados and taught us the ways of the wine aerator and decanter. Pretty cool. If there's someone on your list you likes wine and you're not sure what to buy for them, go for the aerator. It's cool. Promise. 

Saturday, got some presents wrapped, etc, and then headed to dinner with another couple. They have two kiddos and rarely get to go out for an adult evening. In other words, even more wine was consumed...much to my liking. haha! I'm starting to sound like a lush. If you live in Tulsa and haven't had Dalessandro's, you're kiiiiinda missing out. It's heavy, but uh.mazing. I mean, Eric and I split an entree and a salad...which we NEVER do b/c we're indulgent, fat kids we like to try different things. But, you get a lot of food there, so don't say you haven't been warned..hah! I'm rambling, but it's good Italian food. Try it! :) 

We got home and watched The Town...not bad. I dug it.  Oh and I had my hair appt this weekend.. almost forgot that. *happy sigh* Nothing...or at least very few things...relax me more or put me in an instant happy mood like getting my hair done. :) Is that just me?

So yeah, that was my weekend. Sorry I led with the poop. That was kinda a buzzkill. 

Here are some pics from baking last weekend just b/c I never posted any! :) Hope you had a great weekend before Christmas and are geared up for a great holiday! 

Just SOME of the confectionary goodness from Ashley's house last Sunday!

The easiest things I made, but they were a BIG HIT! YAY!

When they say 10 minutes, they mean 10. Not 11. Gracie still wants it... haha! 

"Yes, the cookies are definitely low fat..." (haha! right). 

Some of the treat bags I took to work :)
