I kept snapping at Neil because I was tired and hungry. Lethal combination. This was pretty much me last night.
I am so happy it's Friday!!
Weekend Goals: Nothing but sweatpants. All. Weekend. Long!

All Work and No Play
Man, these last few weeks have been bananas! Work has been cray cray and I think it officially caught up with me today (Neil might say it caught up with me last week). I'm super cranky and on top of that, trying not to eat carbs again. I have the worst life ever (take my flair for the dramatics, add no sleep, and that statement is the result).

Birthday Weekend Wrap Up
This weekend we celebrated Neil's birthday! The young lass turned 28 this year (in case anyone who is reading this didn't know I was a cougar).
We both took the day off of work on Friday and celebrated all day long! We slept in a bit and had a leisurely morning before heading out to lunch at one of our favorite stomping grounds, Brownstone. From there we went over to see "The Dallas Buyers Club" which was amazing. Seriously, Matthew Mcconaughey and Jared Leto were insane in this movie! I can definitely see how they are both winning so many awards.
After the movie we quickly went home to change and went over to a yoga class. From there, my sister came over and we went to an Indian restaurant across the street from us for dinner. Neil loves Indian and I do not, but, I will admit, this wasn't the worst thing I have eaten (Ethiopian food will always remain public enemy number one), but I am also glad I only have to eat it once a year. It was a super fun and relaxing day!
On Saturday we had a very slow start to do the day, and then ended up going over to the movies to see the Wolf of Wall Street. This was awesome! My cheeks literally hurt from laughing at one point. Leo was awesome and Jonah Hill's character was amazing and so ridiculous. Even though it's a long movie, it never really dragged on and I thought it went by very fast! I highly recommend this movie!
After the movie we went to meet Neil's family for dinner to celebrate Neil's birthday and his mom's. It was a cute little Italian restaurant in "the old neighborhood." Very yummy and very fun to spend time with them! Afterwards, Neil's sister Lizzie came over and spent the night at our place so we could hang out and catch up. I love hanging out with Lizzie, she's such a great person and we are both so impressed by her!
Sunday, after we dropped Lizzie off at home we met up with Neil's friend Nick and his wife Becky (who just got married a few weeks ago) for brunch at "Milk and Honey." The food was awesome and super cute inside, but the order system there was really annoying and ridiculous. You have to wait in line to place your order and also wait for a table at the same time. I don't get why they didn't have people taking your order at the table. It makes for an awkward time when meeting other people there. Neil and I just kept filtering through the line. That aside, we had a blast hearing all about Nick and Becky's honeymoon and recapping the wedding!
For the rest of the day I cooked and prepped for the week. We were both pretty beat and hit the hay at a decent time last night!
.... until about 3:00 am when I heard Clark crying outside. We had him sleep in his crate last night because he wouldn't go to the bathroom before bed. I opened the door to the family room and immediately figured out he resolved the bathroom issue. It smelled like the monkey house at the zoo. Without going into too many details, I can now say I've gone to war and seen some things I don't think I can ever talk about again. Long story short, an hour later I was able to finish up and head back to bed. When my alarm went off in the morning I went to check on Clark to discover rounds two and three took place in the bathroom (courteous dog) during the 3 hour window he was alone in the family room.
I think this is Clark's way of conditioning me for motherhood, but I think I should tell him it's going to be a bit and he can hold off on the training.
