Oh, The Places I'll Go.......: I'm no spring chicken.....

Me at the Bar Crawl!

I'm not sure what I was thinking here.....but I think it had something to do with either:
a) another drink
b) the special "find the baby" cake
c) nothing in particular

What a weekend! Friday night was the SPH bar crawl fundraiser for Charity Hospital in New Orleans and we raised over $1200! The bars were packed-full and everyone had a great time. The only downfall: lots of very cold weather and snow. Oh well, the bars were cozy and warm. I was going to try and keep it from being a late night, but I ended up getting home around 2:30 am and then waking up at 7:45 to go judge the local middle school science fair. Boy am I glad they had coffee and breakfast waiting for us! I really loved walking around looking at all of the science fair projects--there were some smart cookies! Some of the judges were a little too rough on the kids--at least with their verbal comments made to each other. I tried to be as supportive and positive as possible with my comments, while providing constructive criticism when appropriate--they were 6th graders not grad students!! It did take more time than I thought it would.....I got home around 1:45 pm and proceeded to take a long and quite peaceful nap. I love naps.

The best news of the day? Kyle was putting aside the books for the evening and coming into town to see me and go to Steph's birthday party. Steph's parties are the best! Her boyfriend Matt is one amazing chef and good food is always a given. The menu: pulled pork aripas, chicken quesadillas, sweet cornbread with green peppers, and mini tamales---ALL homemade and delicious. Kyle and I mingled and ate and had a great time :)

Sunday turned into a movie-fest and Jess and I took Joshie out for a nature walk. The weather was beautiful, but the temp was still around 19 degrees. Snotty noses all around! Oh, and for those Grey's Anatomy watchers out there: what the hell is Meredith thinking?? If she goes through with what I think she's about to go through with, then I'm definitely less of a Meredith fan. Poor George....she's gonna break his heart.
