Disappeared Before Our Very Eyes

Three posts in one day – who am I?! :D

Ben and I had another stellar time at Granite City. We wanted to go somewhere to watch the Jets-Bengals game, and it seemed like just the place.

Have I ever shown you around GC? It’s got a very cool Rocky Mountain/brewery vibe.

Laid back and casual, but without that “bar” feel – which I appreciate. I am a cranky, old lady underneath this 26 year old exterior, after all. ;)

We camped out in a big booth that had a perfect view of the game on a big screen, right above these tables.

The first thing we do when we go to Granite City is order two big mugs of Brother Benedict (for him) and Northern Light (for her). We’re “mug club” members so we get these giant glasses of brew for $3.95!

We happened to be there during happy hour, and took advantage of their half price Flat Bread Pizzas – the best flat bread pizzas I know of!

We’re back at home relaxing now, and I’m working on my dessert cup. Some starbursts and a few squares of Dove chocolate. It’s Saturday.

A Shopping Bonanza

12

Shopping was a success! Ben and I braved the crowds and cold to hit up not one, but two malls – AND a shoe store. What a husband I have, huh? Here’s the booty: A pair of Puma Sneaks to replace my Sketcher “weekend walking shoes,” which Ben confessed to…
