This Weekend...

This weekend I...

...had a quiet night at home with Jeff, some loaded cauliflower soup (this recipe is so freaking good!!), and Why Him?, which I expected to be terrible but was actually really funny. I mean, still not a good movie per se, but it had me laughing hysterically at a couple of parts.
...realized I'm headed to a giant conference for work next week and I only own one pair of dress pants, and put in an order for these (boring but necessary) and some velvet pants - fingers crossed one of them works!
...went out for margaritas (ahem: many margaritas) and tacos at Tuco and Blondie. We went super early because we were headed to the Bulls game afterwards, and managed to get there before all of the families with little kids even came in. Jeff and I are the champions of early dinners. We met up with Jeff's brother and his girlfriend after dinner for the game, and while the Bulls were spectacularly bad, I strategically picked a seat next to his brother's girlfriend so that we could chat so I still had a good time - I can't say the same about the guys!
...drove up to the suburbs for dinner at my parents' house and to see my niece in her Halloween costume. She managed to nap through the entire trick or treating time in their town (whoops) but still got to go over to her grandma and grandpa's house for some treats. For a two year old that isn't allowed candy, that meant stickers, goldfish crackers, and a Paw Patrol cup and plate. As a person who is older than two years old I don't quite understand the Paw Patrol craze, but this little girl is obsessed. She sat on my lap and named all of the doggies on her plate over and over and over - so cute!

I hope you had a good one!
