Weekend Roundup: Where Did November Go?

This weekend started with me starring in my very own one woman show, "Grumpy & Hormonal: A Tale of Woman Not Encouraged by a Colorful Box of Tampons."

To spare anyone from my wrath, I spent Friday night with Vivi my manicurist, my best friend, "DVR", and a gluten-free pizza with a dark chocolate bar chaser.

I'm a real treat.

Saturday I woke up with a renewed sense optimism. It probably helped that I slept for 11 hours and got to have breakfast at my favorite brunch spot, Meli.

My new-found positivity was challenged by our 2 hour trip to Whole Foods. Grocery shopping is not as fun when you have very specific things you must buy. For our upcoming "Friendsgiving", I am in charge of the stuffing and the cobbler. Not hard. Yet somehow impossible.

Saturday night we indulged in some Italian gluttony at Chicago treasure, Rose Angelis.

Sunday started with a 5 mile run (prepping for the Turkey Trot) and ended with a great little movie "The Descendants" (more on that later this week).

Looking forward to a short week & some much needed friend time.
