monday monologue - still stuffed

Its was a lovely long weekend 

that began with leaving the office early on Wednesday 

dinner that evening was with friends

at Robert

in the Museum of Art & Design
(the restaurant photos taken with my iPhone)

 the view is as good as the food

we all pulled out our phones 

and 

snapped the scene below

its even more magical on the ground

after dinner 

we headed uptown 

we tried to see the Macy's balloons 

but 

it was truly insanely crowded so we said good night 

Thanksgiving didnt happen the way I hoped

the restaurant, in fact, two restaurants, I hoped to order in from
were closed

one was closing early!

we called around a bit 

ending up with burgers and limp lukewarm fries

but
thats not what its about

its about football

ToonMan enjoyed the day

Friday 

I was lucky enough 

to catch up 

with 

two from-out-of-town-in-NY-for-the-weekend friends 

who hadnt met before 

so

 we went to lunch

Saturday was an all beautification™ day
starting off with a blissful massage at exhale

Rose had a vet appointment, she'll be fine

we played with Jack and the presentation pointer 

if you say where's the light? 

he looks at the last place he saw it 

no matter how much time has passed

last weekend I got to the Flea Market 

and 

picked up the new pillows
Jack approves, he loves that chair
which brings this post back to the beginning
the friends
I met for dinner on Wednesday
are the friends
who when they downsized their home
gave us that fabulous chair & ottoman

thank you again for a great evening, Lauren.
SIL we'll do Island Burgers.
It was a fun lunch
Maureen, Mary
I'll see you both soon.
and
now that the weekend is over
'life' gets back to normal
my husband can have his cave back

Hey honey, Nancy's coming over next Saturday
