adventures in weekending: december

The whole month of December has felt like one giant weekend to me. I was smart enough to save a bunch of my vacation days for the end of the year, so I've gotten used to the extended weekends that are sadly no more. Between the getting settled in to a new place and the holiday frenzy, December has been one cuh-razy month. But it's the good kind of crazy. In spite of the running around and a few brief moments of rest, I love how 2011 ended and I love how 2012 is starting out. 

Trips to Ikea are a favorite activity of mine. I dream of living in their perfectly-styled, creatively-spaced rooms. 

Dinner and drinks with Bob's family at DeStefano's. If you're ever in Williamsburg, this cozy steakhouse is a must.

A rather successful experiment in air freshening, naturally. More on this later.

Watching Bob prepare dinner is another favorite activity of mine. For the obvious reasons.

My aforementioned short breaks have consisted of plentiful amounts of coffee (much needed) and Lunch in Paris.

Our New Year's Eve plans kind of fell through, so me and Bob kept it laid-back with dinner at a local bar and fancy night at home with champagne, wine in martini glasses and homemade brownies.

I'm glad to be back in the swing of things. Can't wait to do some catching up!
