I won't be doing any bitching about Monday today, since when this post, I'll be most likely nude in bed and looking at the back of my eyelids. When my boss called and told me to take last Friday off, he put in a day for me, he was right, why go back to work for one day, so I'm off till after New Years Day. Yet another unexpected gift. So MM #1 Fan came to the Casa to meet me and another friend when I got back home and made a weekend of it. We took in a zoo on Friday where I fed that giraffe, and on Saturday we hit Philly to take in some sights, ride the Ferris wheel at City Hall, drinks at the Four Seasons in the Comcast Tower and a fun little bar called Tinsel on S12 th Street. What a hoot that was. We even saw the Grinch!!!! This season has been swell and fun and relaxing, just the way a Christmas should be...spending time with friends and enjoying the seasonal delights. I mean feeding a giraffe and riding a Ferris wheel in December? It has been a different Christmas for sure. Here are some snaps with some of my own.
Had a fabulous mind altering time at Tinsel. Their seasonal cock-a-tails were delish!!!! And would you believe they even had a drink one could enjoy out of a snow globe?!?!?! And you could keep it.
City Hall is always a hub of activity at the holidays. Ice skating and this year a Ferris wheel which was great fun.
Always fun people watching at the skating rink. I just sit and look pretty.
I thought we might hit the tree. Yikes!
This guy has been doing the Grinch for several years now. I thinking he may be cute under all that make up. Oh lord...Im trying to pick up the Grinch now!!!!!!!!
South 13th Street looked amazing and festive!
Trees in the Four Season at Comcast....
...with sweeping views with our libations.
Boy... I really do live this city.
And finally we see the fat man heading back to the north pole. Found this pic on the interwebs and loved it's swagger and style!!!!
Happy Monday All!!!!!
Fabulous. All of it! Happy Monday dear Maddie. X
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your extra-long weekend!
ReplyDeleteA great mini vacation! Philly looks amazing. I want a sno globe cocktail!
ReplyDeleteOooo-wee! Haven't been ice skating in many years now. 'Course, it's kinda hard to find a frozen pond out here in the desert. What else did you do in Philly? Huh? I knew there was a Lunch Meat...and ya'll passed it up? My! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI would go to more Lunch Meats, but the proximity to the city is far from work for an hour break. I have been to one on a day off though...what a very nice time.
DeleteI LOVE Tinsel!!!! That place is insane!!!! And i heard the Four Seasons bar has incredible views.
ReplyDeleteI have seen that Grinch all over town....whoever he is he is very talented. I love City Hall this year. Buy i didn't take a ride on the ferris wheel.
ReplyDeleteAt least the Grinch isn't wearing crocs. I love the peacocks! They are beautiful when they're not screeching bloody murder. You enjoy your well deserved time off, Mads.
ReplyDeleteI spotted a dog :-)
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxo
your good Mistress. you always manage to squeeze some sort of cock in somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAnitia darling, wouldn't you be disappointed if he didn't slip a little cock in?
DeleteMaddie dear... I hope it's not from a hangover that has you throbbing when you read this. Hmmm, I think I have been hanging around Deedles too much! Yes Deedles.... I just threw you under the bus! Nasty of me eh?
Very nasty, Steven! You are a disgrace to your Canadianess!
DeleteSteven,,,you just make me throb!
DeleteAnd how do you like that Deedles...getting thrown under the bus?
So, when did you first discover you were into Grinch Kink?
ReplyDeleteI remember being in Philly multiple times for shows, and I always thought the city has one of the prettiest and grandest of City Hall buildings When I get a gig in Philly, I always love it, by far one of my favorite cities.
ReplyDeleteLove the last photo, I agree! I was to Philly once, and had no where enough time to see and do and eat everywhere I wanted too. It's a swell city for sure.
