friday fun posts!

yes it's friday again, friday the 13th! happy friday, friends!
it snowed a little yesterday and we're off to another chilly start.
this morning:




highlight of the week!
after feeling suffocated by the bromance blooming before my eyes, i came home to spectacular treats in my mailbox. perfect timing on behalf of chef amanda. pistacio nougaty goodness and hazelnutty chocolate are clear of my lent restrictions. could not have been more perfect. i nibbled away my cares, completely in awe of the delicacies that amanda crafted. how does she do it?

(the candy is on our kitchen counter,
which is covered with a game the boys are really into called agrilcola.)


pure heaven!

have you spent the entire week wondering how our poker tourny was?
it was a great event. even though it was 'sold out' we were able to swing a tic for the lil' bro. neither patrick nor ryan won the entire poker tournament. ok, neither even made it to any of the final tables. but they did play some good hands.


  • the event was held at the cultural center, which is beautiful

  • open bar with some delicious wine made both me and the boys happy
    (though i had to wake up early the next a.m.)

  • scrumptious little passed hors d'oeuvres and yummy food buffet; how did it all taste delish and healthy at the same time?
this event was my idea, as an early anniversary present for patrick. but with my little brother in town (he's looking at law schools that he got into/was waitlisted at) , we invited him along. after we were home from the event, the boys stayed up til all hours playing poker online!!!

or maybe you've been wondering where the bonkoviches have been?
oh don't you worry, they're around. we met up with them last sunday for a "girls have coffee, boys go watch some sports" afternoon. this is christine's coffee:

it looks like a fake coffee to me! it was a snickerdoodle latte and i made her put the glass of water in the photo for scale. it was HUGE!

Too bad Patrick did not have the luck 'o the Irish in the poker tourney.

aw, love the shout out!! Such a fun week, and to cap it off with green beer at work makes it even better. Fun!

Thanks for snapping the artistic photo of the nougat. I'm doing my term end portfolio and realized I never took a photo of the nougat, so your finger+flowers+nougat will be in my portfolio. thanks friend!

Totally happy that you're someplace now where alcohol in the workplace is totally acceptable.

Also, lovin' the photos! You've been playing with depth of field! Good work!
