Today....we bake

I made a ton of cookies and AJ baked bread! Then we went on a walk to run errands in Lincoln Square. Everything looks prettier with snow. 

 

Decor

Finishing up our bedroom wall! 

 

More snow

Told ya, finally got a real snowfall. I wouldn't normally be so excited but since I have nowhere to go and no daily commute, I think it's beautiful!

Snowfall

Finally, some real snow!

My bestie

Found dis kitty in a box!!

Painted kitty

Finished another paint by number canvas!!

 

Catnap

This is what a typical day looks like. 

Havin a good time

AJ had a zoom call with some buddies today and when I had to grab something from our room, I caught him like this :) 

Saturday

Went down to Lincoln Park for a workout class and found this amazing, semi-hidden mural and then ran into a pigeon waiting for his train. But the best part was I came home to our new KitchenAid mixer!!! Then made espresso cheesecake bars!

 

I try to take walks every day during the week since I'm still working from home. I have to get out at least for 20 minutes or so. It's usually just walking to the store or a coffee shop. Not much else to do since indoor dining is not allowed. Let's hope it returns soon!! 

A great read

Bought one of my favorite books as kid. Sometimes I can't believe I read this at such a young age. 

 

Covfefe

A quick walk for coffee in the neighborhood. 

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

My bestie sent me this mug for Xmas and it's just the best. (Society6.com)

 

Weirdo

And now....weird cat poses

 

Treat day

Ooooooh, fresh snow!! Plus, breakfast cocktails and pancakes!!!

 

Saturday treats

Workout class in Lincoln Park and then a walk down Clark Street. Then baked some treats! Hot chocolate lace cookies and peanut butter brownie cookies!

 

New year, same prez

It's a new year! Same president but we're soooo close. 

 

Fuck you 2020!

New Year's Eve! Ordered thai food, watched Holidate (not as bad as everyone seems to think) and chilled until AJ got home from work! 

Some quality friend time!

Hang time with Kelly, Sado and of course...Gideon! At one point, he was sitting in a chair looking at his ipad while we ate. I asked what he was doing and he said "just relaxing."

Snow time!

Finally! Some real snow!!! 

 

Coffee and a painting

Took a walk to get coffee and saw the worst attempt at advertising a business. This stand was for a small business selling honey. Not sure what this creepy green blow up ghost is supposed to do to help attract customers.....Also, making progress on my paint by number canvas!

 

Evening stroll

A nice walk in the neighborhood.

 

 

Another day

AJ went to work and I stayed home (as always) and got some painting done. Did I mention his mom gave me 2 canvases that are paint by number??? I looooove it so much. It takes up lots of time which is what I need right now since work is slow. I also made some chicken and pasta for our friends and their new baby :) 

 

Merry Xmas

A super yummy Christmas dinner and a nice relaxing day. AJ got me some gorgeous earrings, a ton of bath bombs and this print of the Friends apartments layouts!

 

Pies and loaves

Made an apple pie and blueberry streusel cake loaf for Christmas day!!
