Blooming Friendships

I'll be honest with you.  I feel like crap and this week just isn't in my favor.  My Aunt Flow came to visit and while I love that she visits me every month, all her baggage that comes with her is not fun. On top of that I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat and the sniffles.  It's rare for me to get sore throats as I don't have my tonsils or adenoids anymore.  I was just telling some one the other day that I don't get sore throats and go figure I few days later I get one.  Jinxed myself.  I also yelled at my dogs for no reason this morning and now I feel really bad and just want to go snuggle with them and give them treats.  

Anyways enough of the negative Nancy business.  I wanted to share with you what I was up to last weekend.  I've been slightly friend-sick these days and this weekend was a great fix for that.  On Friday night a bunch of us all went out for dinner and drinks.  It was one of those evenings where I really connected with my friend Lindsay our friendship instantly transformed from our boyfriends are best friends and we hangout to this girl is my best friend.  Yayy to blooming friendships! 

Saturday I spent the morning doing domestic type things such as grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning the house.  The boyfriend helped with the cleaning part, actually he is pretty good about helping me with that.  Lindsay and I met up at the gym to do some cardio and lift. I'm so glad to have finally found my workout routine that is enjoyable and showing results. I have lost an inch and half around my waist since October.  Happy dance.  

Then I got to work baking some amazing cupcakes that I found on this blog.  I mean you can't go wrong with Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes.  

I spent all morning on Sunday cooking an Irish feast cause that's just the kinda Irish girl that I am.  I made a Lamb Stew, Corned Beef and Cabbage and Corned Beef Linguine.  For my first time making all the above it was all pretty good.  I am glad that I don't have these Irish Feasts often because I would be the size of an elephant.  

Dragon and Lindsay might of had a few too many bourbon shots.  Okay, I'm only half kidding. Dragon had got a hold of the bourbon back from her break out of her kennel days. Thankfully those days are over!  

I've never played poker, I know, I know.  I just never understood it until now.  To bad I didn't have that on my List to cross off.  I'm just going to cross that off my list in my head.  It was a lot of fun and I didn't come in last place so that's a win in my book.  It didn't hurt that I was drinking coffee and baileys, which is some of the best stuff on this earth.  Phil won and that means I win because he was in a good mood!  

I should probably get back to my tea and honey and crawl into bed.  But wait I'm at work so I will just have to wait on that last part.
