Can’t believe it’s already Sunday.. where did the days go?
My last post I mentioned I was “unofficially” done with my first internship rotation, well now it’s official… I’m done! Guess what that means? I now have 3 weeks off for the holidays before starting back in the new year. Amazing.
Anyway, on Friday after I was done, my friend Emily from college (yes, same name, means she’s equally as awesome) paid me a visit. She was in Marco Island for the week with her family and made the short drive across the state to come spend the weekend with me.
When she got into town, we popped open a bottle of wine and got ready to go out for dinner. We had means to celebrate… I was done for the year and she had just finished her dietetic internship at the end of November. Yes, same name and same career path. Double awesome.
For dinner I took her to my favorite restaurant in Ft Lauderdale… 15th Street Fisheries. It’s on the intercoastal, near Port Everglades where all the cruise ships come in and out. Beautiful views and super fresh seafood.

After dinner, we hopped on the water taxi to head downtown to the bars off of Las Olas Blvd. All of the gorgeous homes along the intercoastal waterways were all decked out in their holiday flair so it was quite the scenic ride.
We stayed out pretty late because the bar we ended up at was so fun. There was lots of dancing, and I think that might count for my Elf for Health task of working out with a buddy, right? In my book it counts.
On Saturday we had planned on going to the beach but it wasn’t sunny at all so we just did a scenic drive around south Florida. My wallet and my body were not really down to go out another night so we decided to stay in and lounge around with Andrew and the pup. We watched the movie Ted, which by the way is frickin’ hilarious.
She left pretty early this morning, so I pretty much just hung out around the apartment all day today. I think I’m fighting off a cold because I lost my voice and my throat is a little funky but it doesn’t seem to be getting much worse… so I just slept all day, and drank a lot of orange juice.
After a fun weekend, this week is looking pretty low-key. We aren’t heading back to Michigan for the holidays until later this week so I’ve got a few days to just get organized. I’m looking to do a little better with the Elf for Health tasks this week, as last week was a bit of a flop.
One of the tasks is to bake cookies (Wednesday), and I want to make something new and funky! Does anyone have any fun holiday cookies to suggest?
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
What was something fun you did this weekend?
