miscellany monday

Well I don't know about the rest of you lovelies, but I'm already looking forward to my next day off -which is not until December 23. How. Will. I. Make. It? (I have weekends off but I'm not counting those.)

It's Monday. Miscellany Monday to be exact. Linking up with lowercase letters!

1. Friday night, we went Downtown (Minneapolis) to celebrate my Husband's, Cousin's Birthday - so I guess my Cousin too! First of all, I do not enjoy "going out" downtown.

Let me list a couple of reason's why I do not like weekends Downtown:

• Too much drama 
• I work downtown so it may remind me of work
• Cabs get spendy - no one wants to drive home
• The bathrooms smell like urine
• I recently viewed the cities "Violent Crimes" map by precinct since I work downtown. Scary stuff.  Happening all within blocks of me every day. Gun shots, assaults, rape. To make it better, I tell myself, "they are probably all sleeping during the day. I'm safe."

So it's rare that we do that but we did, all for the love of Corey. Here are a couple of pictures from Friday night at Bootlegger's.

From L-R: SIL Molly, the Husband, Corey the Birthday Boy, Me, Jess (BIL's GF) and BIL Chad.

Not sure why we all look pink, I stole this from one of their fb's.

The party started at 9pm,  and we were the first one's there at 9pm. Ha, ha! That's why no one is around us in the photo above. 

L-R: Husband, Corey, Me

The name of the band playing that night was, no joke, F*cking Sick. They were pretty good too! They were a 2 man show. The lead singer played the piano and the other guy sang and played drums. I would definitely see them again if I was a roadie type. The name still kills me. Ha, ha!

2. Thanksgiving photos are starting to appear online. The following one cracks me up. Jack at the table watching everyone play dice. Jack got into the game. He would yell whenever they all yelled.

He'll be hustling by the time preschool starts.

3. Also on Thanksgiving, we tried "The Popcorn Trick". Have you seen this one floating around online? The one that leads you to believe that if you have 4 cell phones, you can pop 4 kernels of corn? You just need to have all phones ring simultaneously. Well my friends, that is a lie. We tried.

Fail.

Happy Monday!
