Today after another nice long weekend morning walk with Casey and the dog (my favorite thing about our weekends), a run at the downstairs gym, and some lunch in front of the TV together, I went over to Cafe Ventana for a study afternoon. Visited their quiet study annex for the first time and found it a great place to sit and read about the lives of Renaissance popes. Matt joined me at the coffee shop for some studying after a bit, and it was a pretty productive afternoon. Could have studied at home, but Casey wanted me out of the apt. so he could work on my x-mas gift, plus this gave me a chance to put on actual pants.
"Look at this coffee foam
Look at this pretentious tome"
Since then I've been cleaning the apartment because my mom and sister are coming tomorrow!!! I'm really excited about them being here. I think we'll be going to the art museum tomorrow, since it's supposed to be a rather rainy day. I'm looking forward to exchanging gifts. I don't have all my x-mas decorations yet, but I do have the tree up. Casey and I added purple lights to the tree this year (got them on super sale at Walgreens after halloween - woot!) and I love having it lit up. So magical.
