A Very Good Weekend

I was excited to finally get to the weekend. The past week had been long with it being the last week of school and packing up the library, i was ready to have a whole weekend for fun.

I am happy with the way my weekend went, busy, fun, productive and relaxing. Friday night Jaime, Cindy and Shannon came over to see the house and have a girl's night. Cindy had been in Europe the past few weeks, so we were all very happy to have her back. She even brought us Belgium chocolates and a beautiful flower basket for my house. We kicked back in the backyard, listening to Mraz, drinking margaritas and playing "Bad" Badminton. Even Marius crashed girl's night and wanted to be a part of the action.

Nothing changes with the 4 of us, we always laugh and we always start up right where we left off. We crashed early because we are now old and got up early because we are dorks.

Saturday i spent the day weeding (Kelly i need you!) and planting some annual seeds. I ended up planting, Sunflowers, Zinnias, Cosmos, Pinks and Morning Glories. It was so wonderful to be outside in my very own backyard, planting my garden. I love dirt.

Saturday night was a flurry of fun and silliness. My co-worker Janine invited me to her bachelorette party. We started at her house, made our way to Chino Latino for dinner. Then we went downtown for Lemon Drop Martinis at the Palomino, then Dueling Piano's and lots of singing at the Shout House. Then dancing at Drink. There we met some very funny Englishmen. They insisted that i wiggle my nose (must be the combination of Bewitched and Sabrina the Teenage witch?) I was also proposed to by one of the Brits, when I declared Churchill a brilliant man. I think what i was told was, "Sabrina you are lovely, I'm in love, will you marry me?"

Hmmm.... Too bad it took me this long to find out all i needed to do to get proposed to was wiggle my nose and talk Churchill. Ha.

Sunday my parents came over to hang out on their 34th wedding anniversary. I made them shrimp and steak kabobs on the grill and chocolate cake (not made on the grill)

We played some more "Bad" Badminton and had a great ol' time. I call it "bad" badminton because I lost all the shuttle cocks\birdies so I play it with a wiffle ball. It works. kind of.

Later sweet Ellen came over for visit. She brought me my favorite Joseph Friedrich Riesling. Nice girl. We chatted and enjoyed the outside weather and then i made brats on the grill for us.

Now i am winding down. Getting ready for another week... With the tedious task of textbook barcoding. help.
