Manic Monday

Hey, Barb.

So sorry about your Pats yesterday :(   I wasn't really watching the game, and didn't have a favorite one way or the other, but I know it was a big deal for you and W.  I hope that didn't ruin a weekend already filled with apprehension.  How did it go, anyway?

Our weekend was great,  I have to say.  J and I are enjoying a fabulous high these past couple of months.  Friday night, we joined T&S, along with three other couples, at the fundraising auction for their youngest son's hockey team.  I've never been to anything like that and I can't tell you how much fun we had.  We had an excellent group of friends at our table, plenty of wine from the open bar, good food and worthwhile things on which to bid. We came home with a trip to Leavenworth and a VIP game deal for the Rainiers this summer.  As a table, we bought a private box for a game with our local pro hockey team, dinner and all.  If Friday night was any indication, that will be an awesome time.

Saturday was football and shopping and little stuff, followed by a FD dinner we had to attend.  It turned out to be short and sweet and we were home by 8:00, so it wasn't that bad.  Sunday, we went over to Kim and Josh's as we always do.  A small, very enjoyable group with a lot of yelling and money flying around (none of which I took home). All the girls were in the kitchen talking wedding with Kim's daughter (she's getting married this summer) and eating ridiculously fattening food, which is my idea of a perfect Sunday.

This week started out completely hectic, with a phone call from work at 6:30am - can you open today? - which means there's a good chance it's going to be like last week.  Argh.  I work for the most disorganized, unprofessional management team I have ever encountered.  They're unbelievable.  Argh. Again.

Anyway....at least I'm getting the bedroom painted this week and the carpet people are coming to measure...yay! It's starting to come together, slowly.  I'll have to send you a picture when it's all done.

I hope your weekend went well, too, and that this week started off on the right foot.  Hope to talk to you soon!

Love you,
A
