Yes/No Detroit

And just like that, it's the end of February—to me, it kind of feels like January went by super slowly, and February went by super fast, for some reason. Sangria at Sedona Taphouse, Novi What I've been up to this week: Getting delivery/eating out . Last Saturday I actually got to go out to eat! Rare nowadays with a baby. I met a friend at Sedona Taphouse, in Novi—I used to go to the Troy one a lot for their happy hour, but have only been to Novi a few times. It's a little bit pricey but everything was good—I had the sangria (pictured above) and chicken marsala, and my friend had a cocktail and their gluten-free flatbread.  I also had a free birthday coupon for Crumbl, so I stopped by and got a S'mores cookie and also bought one of their Nutella ones; I liked both, but the S'mores was better IMO. On Sunday night, we got La Marsa via Dorodash, which is always tasty. On Sunday, we got takeout from Green Lantern, since I had a free cheesy bread coupon; their pizza is al...

Cancel everything, because it's like zero degrees outside (windchill feel of -15 ...) today and also, our baby is sick, so we are keeping her home from daycare for a few days. Bunny I saw outside What I've been up to this week: Getting takeout/delivery . A lot this week—we got Mamaeatz via Doordash on Friday night (a place that does Indian sandwiches—and they have a four for $25 deal which is pretty good), some friends brought over Jersey Mike's on Saturday for lunch, and on Saturday for dinner we got Big Dip Burgers via DD. On Sunday, my husband had to go out for an errand so he got us The Great Greek gyros (BOGO deal), and on Monday, he brought back Culver's.  Hanging out with friends . Rare these days! On Saturday, two friends and their 3-year-old daughter came over to meet Baby K for the first time, and they brought Jersey Mike's (as mentioned above), which was tasty. They stayed for a few hours and it was nice to see friends, as I don't get to do as much of...

This week has been very busy, but I managed to squeeze in a movie yesterday, and hopefully today as well. Tomorrow I am leaving for a Vegas vacation (not a movie reference, LOL) and we will be there for 5 days and 4 nights. It should be pretty fun—I'm a huge Vegas fan, I go about 2x a year for both personal and work (I'll be back in September for a packaging expo, for work).  Drinks at The Last Word, Ann Arbor What I've been up to this week: Birthday celebration weekend . My birthday was last Friday, January 13th, and I took the day off work and went to The Cheesecake Factory with my parents for lunch, which was nice. On Saturday, my boyfriend and I went to Ann Arbor to The Chop House for dinner, and we had drinks at Vinology beforehand, as well as some tasty brie, and The Last Word afterwards. I had only been to The Chop House one time before, and both times it has continued to impress me. Watching movies . Last Thursday I saw House Party  at the theater, which was terribl...

This week has seemed both slow and fast, for some reason, and I'm glad it's Friday.  Bulgogi Lime Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Potato/Bell Pepper Jumble, from HelloFresh What I've been up to this week: Getting more birthday freebies . A lot of them expire at the end of January, so I've been trying to use them up. Last Friday I used my $5 off at Detroit Wing Co., in Troy, and they were actually super excited I was using a birthday reward, which was fun. Yesterday I redeemed my free small pizza from Green Lantern, over on Rochester Rd. in Royal Oak—I always forget that one is there because their sit-down restaurant (one of a few, now) is in Madison Heights. What's interesting about that one is that this was my first year getting that freebie, and when you go to their site to sign up for their email list/rewards club, there's no spot to input your birthday ... so I have no idea how that happened, but I'll take it! And later today I'm stopping by Grand Travers...
