Oops, I've kind of been slacking on my blogging duties lately. I feel like I do the same thing week after week, so really there's nothing worth telling! Let's see how this week was..

Well I guess I should start a couple days before this week started.. CHRISTMAS! My 2nd favorite holiday. I love, love, love getting together with all my family.. especially at my grandparents house. The atmosphere is just so friendly and loving. I love sitting on the couch with my aunts drinking wine, I love playing with all my little cousins, I love helping my Grandma cook dinner. There's really nothing better than family :) Christmas Eve my mom, dad, brother, Grandma & Grandpa came over and had Christmas at our house. It was a lot of fun! Christmas Day we went over to Joe's moms and had Christmas there, and the day after Christmas we celebrated at my grandparents. Lots of fun times!

So back to this Monday. It was very, very busy at work and by the time 5:00 rolled around I was ready to hightail it out of there! I got home and spend a quite evening at home w/ Joe & puppies :)

Tuesday = BINGO NIGHT! I was so, so excited because Sami didn't have volleyball that night and she was able to come play bingo with me!! I went to JJ's around 7:00 by myself, because Joe had to go tow poor Tiffany's car home. Sami and Stevie got there around 7:30ish and Joe came around 9:00. Joe won the coverall!! Along with 3 other people.. :( lol and it was only $210 because someone had won it the week before.. but hey, he still got $70! That was pretty exciting :)

Wednesday = TRIVIA NIGHT! Tuesdays & Wednesdays are by far my favorite days of the week! I actually convinced Joe & Jake to come play trivia w/ me at Seasons this week, so we all headed to Seasons around 8:15. Since Stevie didn't have school this week, she was able to stay and play trivia.. yay! I don't think Joe loved trivia as much as I do, unfortunately :( but oh well. The only bad part of that night there was that Hot Toddy was not working :( Hot Toddy is the best bartender at Seasons.. love him! After trivia was over I kicked Sami's ass twice at darts (which was good because she kicked mine at JJ's last night, lol) Then we played Cricket w/ the boys. Hard game, but fun! I think Joe was getting a little crabby because he didn't want to be out so late, but he also didn't tell me he was ready to leave.. so I finally could tell he wanted to leave and we headed home. My favorite Jesse Penman had text me and told me he was working and to stop out at the bar if I was out, so when we got home I went out to JJ's for awhile. And when I say awhile.. I mean 3:15 in the morning. Oops :/ It was fun though, there was only a couple other guys in the bar and I helped Jesse clean tables & put chairs up, then we played a couple games of darts and drank. Really probably shouldn't have drove home, Jesse called and talked to me the whole way home so that helped a little I guess. Still don't like driving after I've been drinking though!

Thursday = LONG, LONG day. I actually woke up Thursday morning still quite drunk. (only got like 2 hours of sleep) I realized I had pushed snooze wayy more than I should have, and was already quite late getting ready for work. Great start to the day, right? Well it didn't get much better. Every hour I swore I wouldn't make another one. lol I was just about ready to swear off drinking. (HA) I started to feel a little better right before I left work, which was good because I was meeting Joe's mom and we were gona do some shopping in Woodbury. Got a new pair of work shoes (Christmas present from Joe's mom) and a couple groceries at Trader Joe's but that's about it. We had dinner at Pei Wei then came home and I went right to bed! I was only able to sleep for about 3 hours before Joe and the boys came home and were very, very loud until like 3:00 in the morning. I was not happy with them this morning. I was really hoping for a good night's sleep before going out tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nap in today after work.

And thankfully today is FRIDAY! Even though the morning didn't start off the greatest on account of someone hitting a power line in front of work and the power being out. But hopefully the day goes by fast and 3:00 comes and I can leave right away! Still not quite sure what our NYE plans are.. but I hope it'll be fun!

Have a safe & fun New Year's everyone! :)

Dear Vikings,

Why must you make it so hard to be a fan of yours???
Please pick up the pace. It may be too late for playoffs, but it's still nice to watch you win.

Yours forever,
Nikki.

Wheaties

So I bought this box of Wheaties because my boyfriend, Peyton Manning, was on the front. Little did I know.. I LOVE Wheaties!! Haha I've never had them before, but they are most delicious! Definitely my breakfast choice every morning now :)

Economy Size

The plus side of buying economy size.. easier on my pocket.
The down side of buying economy size.. practically throwing my shoulder out lifting the god damn thing every time I do laundry. :(
