It's been awhile (again!).

I'm not going to make (a lot of) excuses for being MIA recently.  School and work were keeping me busy, as well as various mini-getaways and such with K. 

I'm also kind of weird in that if I feel pressured to do something, I sometimes pull away and avoid doing it.  I felt like I was pressuring myself to write, even if I didn't feel like it.  So I stopped updating for awhile.  Now I feel like it again, so here I am.  Amazing story, right?!  Anyway, on to the updates.

I've been to a couple of Steelers games lately.  Oh, how I love tailgating for Steelers games!  We had a lot of fun last week, even though we lost.  Boo.  Can I also say I'm glad Jeff Reed is gone?  I know a lot of people think he's the world's most amazing kicker EVER, but I was never impressed.  Watching him blow a 26 yard field goal sealed the deal for me last week.  Not to mention that he manages to get himself into all kinds of trouble off-field... which annoys me.  I digress.

I love Pittsburgh.  It has a special place in my heart.  Steelers games are a celebration of our awesome city and team, and celebrate we do! 

 

No words for this.  Yes, that dog is wearing a dress.

As my friend M dubbed this... the Yinzer taxi.  Not our ride, unfortunately.

A few weeks ago, K and I went to a bed and breakfast north of here for his birthday.  It was pretty fun, and totally different from anything we've ever done before!  It's a huge, old fashioned mansion.  The rooms are huge, and each one has a different theme.  You dress up and go to a really formal dinner there, and you also get a large buffet breakfast in the morning.  Despite being the youngest people there, we had a pretty fun time!

There was a complementary fruit/snack tray in the room when we got there...

As well as a bottle of champagne!

Well that's all I have for tonight!  K and I are going to grab some sushi, and put up our Christmas tree!  I KNOW it's not even Thanksgiving yet.... but I have the Christmas fever.  Seriously,  I can't wait to decorate this year!  I almost bypassed decorating for Thanksgiving, but since we always have the family over here for dinner, I figured that might be kinda weird for people who aren't me. 

Any fun weekend plans?  I'll be sure to post a picture of our Thanksgiving/Christmas decor fusion sometime this weekend!
