Haven't you always wanted a monkey?

It's the Chinese new year.  Today marks the beginning of the year of the monkey.  Cas and I were sure that the holiday was today, but we had to Google which animal this year would usher in.  When we found that it was a monkey, we were pretty happy.  Who doesn't like a monkey?

We had Chinese food to celebrate:

We have been out quite a bit lately.  On Friday, we went out with my parents to celebrate their 44th wedding anniversary.  Mom wanted to head to Rockfish.  Cas and I showed up a little early so we could have a bottle of champagne out at the table for them.  It was probably a cheap bottle they had leftover from a new year's toast, but whatever.  I just wanted a glass of sparkly to toast my folks with.  It worked.

On Saturday, Cas and I went to Hopdoddy for a big hamburger.  We hit up Sherlock's after that for a few cocktails.

Today is a Monday, and we were out to dinner tonight, as well.  I should probably get off my butt and cook something tomorrow.

It's shaping up to be a pretty long week.  I have no interest in working particularly hard this week, either.  I have photography club tomorrow and probably a trip to the gym after that.  Maybe I can follow that with a nap.
