We ended up having a pretty busy weekend here. Friday Chris and I attended the Irish Tenors concert in Syracuse. It was a really excellent show. A mix of Christmas Carols, songs off of their latest Album, and a few Irish folk songs thrown in for fun. So glad I was able to convince Chris that it was worth the extra money back when we bought our Symphony season ticket package.
Saturday I spent the day trying to hem my dress that I was going to wear that night (no it shouldn’t have taken all day, but the sewing machine would not cooperate). It was supposed to be Chris’s company holiday party, which is a very big deal. A very formal even each year, always with excellent food at a good location, completely paid for by the company. But they decided a week before hand to cancel it, for no good reason other than they pay for it so they can cancel it if they want. So we decided that we’d go out to dinner with some friends. We went to to L’Adour, a fancy french restaurant. Those who know me well know that I don’t eat seafood. I don’t even want to be near seafood. So I was a little concerned that I was going to have to be served atleast 1 fish course at this restaurant. Well, I’m happy to report that I had monkfish, and I ate it all. I also had Escargot (which is also something that I never would have thought of trying), and I ate all of them. and they were both really good. Chris was in shock. When I told my parents, they were speechless. All the food and the wine was fantastic. Would definitely go back, not that we can afford it though.
Sunday was church, then I helped a friend frame some artwork she had bought, and got the majority of the Christmas presents wrapped. Tried to get some work done on the scrapbook I’m making for a Christmas gift, but the creative juices were just not flowing. And Chris wanted to use the computer, so I got kicked off. So I watched Harry Potter on TV instead. that’s ok, cause I was pretty much out of energy at that point anyway.
