Thursday: Ran 4.5 miles, spin class (kinda) and biceps
Friday: Body pump and two bottles of wine (HA!)
Friday after work consisted of Happy Hour, dinner and Steve the bartender trying to kill me a "glass" of wine. When I say glass, I mean he uncorked the wine barrel and put a straw in it.
 |
| Little dinner and live music action |
 |
| Guinness at Happy Hour. Always a favie. Actually, I was watching The Layover on demand and Tony was in Dublin so I was craving some Irish DRANK. |
Saturday morning was TOUGH. I was mentally exhausted, slightly hung over and just completely unmotivated. Plus there was a blizzard outside. Taking that as a personal challenge I headed to the YMCA and jumped on the treadmill for two hours. Boom. Challenge accepted.
Saturday night, red head and I partied like rock stars. Seriously.

| Draft list at the Comedy Club |
 |
| Santa's brew and Hibiscus blend |

My outfit for the evening.
|
We started with drinks and apps at a Comedy Club in downtown Cleveland. I had tickets to see Paul Reiser do stand up and red head had points for a free hotel night at the downtown holiday inn. The Holiday Inn is actually really cool; its actually an old bank they turned in to a hotel (obvy!). And it is right next to the Warehouse district. Cha ching!
Paul Reiser was ha-ha-ha-lariousss. Red head had absolutely no idea who he was. He has never heard of or seen Mad About you!!
Me: You know? Mad About You! Couple? Living in an apt? With a golden retriever? (Ok he should know what I am talking about now, right?!)
Paul Reiser! (Because repeating the name he does not recognize will make him definitely remember)
Helen Hunt!
Red Head: I thought she was a lesbian.
Me: WHAT?!
Red Head: Yea, she's a lesbian.
Convo Over.
After the show, we grabbed beers at our favorite bar, CITY TAP. 50 BEERS ON TAP. 50 CRAFT BEERS ON TAP.
I got the Great Lakes Conway Irish Ale and Red Head got something named Weizenboch (sp??)
Then off to the Harry Buffalo for dinner and more drinks! (Where we watched the Cavs BEAT OKC)
((Text MSG Convo with an OKC Fan (eww!)
Me: Go Cavssssss. Boom.
Unfortunate Fan: Good luck to the Cavs in the plays offs...o wait....
Me: Yea well....yea well...OKC sucks? And Kevin Durant gives smelly sweaty shoes to children
UF: Cleveland smells like sweaty shoes. Boom.))
Then to Wonder Bar for more drinks!
Then to The Corner Alley for more drinks and where I met this:
BAM! Most amazing Bloody Mary I have ever had. In MA LIFE.
Hanger 1 Chipotle Vodka and Major Peters Bloody Mary Mix.
Lots of life changing events Saturday night because after The Corner Alley, we went to Chocolate bar for more drinks and THIS!
Flour less Chocolate cake. I could not even snap the picture before Red Head took a fork full! We both agreed it was LITERALLY the best piece of chocolate cake we have ever tried.
Then like true rock stars, we bought a bottle of champagne for the hotel room and watched Hall Pass and ate stale, Holiday Inn Lobby popcorn till 3 am.

Early morning Cleveland
|
Cleveland is quite the ghost town in the morning which is crazy considering the amount of people out last night. Unfortunately, no one sticks around.
I got a quick 4.5 miles on the treadmill (Lactic acid push) and then were off to the best part of our Cleveland trips; TRADER JOE'S and WHOLE FOODS!!
The OVER haul: Foccacia bread, chicken sausages, chili mango slices, rice wrappers, soy ice cream, bundles o beer and wine, lots of mustard's and salsas :)
Now, it is time to relax and watch some PUPPY BOWL!
Good day! Go cavs!
