Stamford is very cute during the winter. The whole city is lit up. This street, Bedford, is the cutest.
Hello! Hope you had an awesome weekend.
We went to Lucky’s for burgers on Friday and then we watched an old American college movie. Kinda stupid for my taste though.
On Saturday we woke up early as usual and then we walked over to the Athletic Club. Jim went swimming and I was at the gym doing cardio and used the weight machines. My inner thighs are on fire now, haha. After we had showered we wanted to take Thor for a walk to get coffee and bagels, but it was suddenly raining outside, so we took the car to a donut delight instead. Thor freaked out as always.
Jim had a phone call waiting around noon so I took Thor out and spent some time playing with him, and when the call was over we drove to Norwalk. We went to Home Depot to check floors, hahaha. Yup, we drove all the way there to look at wood floors, fake floors, carpets, tiles etc. Some time in the future (God knows when..) we will buy or build a house and we thought it could be a good idea to have some kind of sense on what’s out there and what it costs. Now we just need to remember all that for when the day comes:)
After our adventure in the store, we were both starving so we drove a block north to a Mexican place that J had got recommended. Very happy with my order for two reasons: A) it was so yummy and spicy B) I first wanted to order the burrito but decided in the last second to order a rice and bean bowl which turned out to be a great decision cause the table next to us did order the burrito and it was humongous!! Really, I have never seen a burrito that big, it was the size of a large loaf of bread, I would have never been able to eat that. Now we know and next time we go there we can bring some people and share that thing:)
In the afternoon, we walked over to Mill River Park. They have put up an ice rink there now and the Half Full Brewery has put up a big tent next to it. Very cute inside actually. We ordered a drink each but decided to go after that cause there were no seats. We walked over to Buffalo Wild Wings. We had fried cheese and drinks. Back at home we had some family playtime with Thor, then I watched the new Netflix movie “Dumplin”. Very cute movie (but very predictable) and awesome music (Dolly Parton!!!).
It was raining all of Sunday. We had breakfast at a diner. Took Thor with us to Pet Smart to buy a Christmas gift for T and for our neighbor. Back home, I played God of War I until I was so tired that I went to the bedroom for a long nap. I only slept like 4.5 hours during the night and when I don’t get enough sleep I don’t really function. Jim was watching football with Thor. I woke up to pizza delivery, yum! After lots of football and some Hawaii Life on hgtv, it was time to end this weekend.
We don’t always have the most exciting weekends, but to us it’s perfect. I think we have a good mix of fun activities and relaxed times when we can just focus on each other. Every since we first started to see each other 7.5 years ago, we have tried to have the weekends to just ourselves. Sometimes we end up spending time with friends, or back then I would work with the company or have rehearsals with choreographers on weekends, but mostly we take these days to ourselves. I love spending time with my husband, no matter what we do:)
