Createlive: Weekending with cocktails

The weekend has come and gone, and for once, I didn't have the mental stress of knowing I had to get up at 5:30am to squeeze in a workout before a full day at the office (yeah, remember that time I quit my job to pursue my dreams?). Instead, I got to wake up slowly and my day started with a social and blog marketing strategy call at 8:30am. Life is good.

Friday was my last day at the office, so my husband met me and a couple coworkers for a drink or two after work. We headed up to the burbs that night to see my family.

Saturday mainly consisted of...

wake up, do 3 hours of consulting work from the kitchen island while eating breakfast and talking to the family
head back downtown, do a workout in my living room, shower and get gussied up
a holiday soiree at Sierra from Posh Meets Pavement's apartment, which included her hand crafted cocktails, wine, champagne, a moscow mule, and lots of cards against humanity

Sierra made a rosemary and cranberry cocktail. It must have been awful, because I downed it. ;-)

Some of the spread, which we promptly demolished.

Sierra pouring... that's right... more champagne.

Cards against humanity, DIY style.

A group shot of most of the ladies.

Sunday was also a pretty eventful day, in spite of the combination of drinks I consumed at Sierra's...

Wake up, chug coffee and water, head to Bodypump (success!)
Come home and get ready to meet my girlfriend for lunch
Meet my girlfriend at the Doubletree Mag Mile for a VIP entrance to Sassy City Chicks' event.
Drink a few carrot martinis, which are surprisingly good. I walk out with a new dress, fleece lined black leggings, and some badass sunglasses
Come home and do a few more hours of consulting work while my husband and a buddy root my husband's new phone
Realize we are both too lazy to make dinner, so we grab a 9:15 at Girl and the Goat
