My weekend was boring. There I said it, the snow was gorgeous and I loved the winter feel, but cabin fever is a real thing. We did venture out and go walks each day, we attempted to go the gym, but it was closed. EVERYTHING was closed. We watched a lot of the Olympics. We got really competitive playing Monopoly Deal - you would have thought it was an Olympic Sport in our house. I didn't brush my hair, nor did I wear makeup once. I had a singular dreadlock to prove it when I tried to actually do my hair this morning. We ate a lot of this soup. We had hot chocolate. I read a bit. I got caught up on Sherlock and now I have to wait and it makes me really, really, really sad.... You know, your standard snowed in activities.
Cheers to snow! Now make this slushie brown crap and freezing rain go away!
25 degrees and snow flurries don't happen very often in Portland, but when they do it makes me happy. It reminds me of when I was little and lived in the middle of nowhere mountains and got snow every year. Too bad I have to sit at work all day and not by my fire place with hot chocolate. Good news is, I sit by the window and I currently have coconut milk - mint chocolate creamer in rotation for the morning coffee. Mix that with my Christmas Playlist and I am happy.
Also, last night I went out and got my Christmas cards and picked up wrapping paper from Target. Brad laughed at how long it took me to make a decision when it came to which Christmas cards I wanted. I am never, ever going to be able to plan a wedding at this rate if that day ever comes. So many choices. I don't want them to say Christmas, because WHAT ABOUT M Y JEWISH FRIENDS?! I don't want them to be over the top or tacky. Not my style. Also, decided I wanted my theme to have gold. I finally decided on two options and am going to send them out this weekend...I hope.
On top of Christmas cards, this girl is hoping to go see some Christmas lights and put up the rest of her decorations now that we are back from Indiana - too bad our house is a wreck. Probably need to clean first, it looks like a war zone ever since our bags finally arrived.
And people keep asking what I want for Christmas and I still don't really have any ideas. I mean there are always things I want, but then I always feel pressure / guilty when people ask ! Just surprise me? Or better yet, get me something off this list. I will take the 1,000 bucks or the pet puppy with the peace sign collar, please.
In honor of my Holiday Cheer I am leaving you with this #backthatazzup song. Yes, it's Chris Brown and he is a doucher, but I just can't stop listening to it.
For our weekend shenanigans, Brad and I wandered over to Central Oregon to stay with my Great Uncle and his lovely wife, Leanne. We spent time in both Sisters and Bend. While we were there, we hiked, shopped, ate, drank, and enjoyed the first snow of the year! When you go to Sisters and Bend...
