The Weekend

Well it seems as though I am still a week behind despite my best efforts to keep on top of my blog this week. I am going to try and write all about the weekend starting with Thursday to catch up.

Normally I wouldn't even have anything to tell you about on a Thursday, but this one was a little special. I went to work in the morning, but left around noon to head to the bar. March Madness is in full swing and my Xavier Musketeers were playing at 12:20. My sister wanted me to watch the game with her so I met her a this new bar in Rookwood call the Rusty Bucket. It is what you would expect from a chain type restaurant/bar. Think along the lines of Applebee's, Friday's, etc. A lot of her co-workers were also there and my sister told me the food and drink was on them.

We watched the game, Xavier had a come from behind victory, and drank too many beers. I kept saying I was finished because I had to drive home still, but one of ED's co-workers just kept buying me beer without my knowledge. After so many beers and sitting around after the game I decided I probably shouldn't go back to work. I stopped by my parents to pick a few things up instead.

Ando then called me to go out to eat with his parents at Cactus Pear. It was time for some more drinking. I consumed too much alcohol for a Thursday, but I'm guessing some of you think otherwise.

Friday was more work and running with Jenster and Ed. We all went to Sharon Woods together for a quick run before going out to dinner with Brentano and Deb, she doesn't do Glamour Shots. It was a rare treat to see both of them out and about. We all ate dinner, well if you call a bowl of cottage cheese dinner, and then Graeter's. Mo got dropped off and Ando, Teed, Jenster and I all went to Gas Light for a night cap. Can you call something a night cap if it is at 11:00pm?

Saturday was the annual Shandy corned beef and cabbage St. Patrick's Day party. It was also the time for Ando and I to put together our IKEA bedroom set. Thank goodness Ando got a head start on Friday by putting together two pieces. After getting the bedroom set up we still had to clean before everyone came over. Xavier also played at 5pm, but they were losing when I was watching and I had a ton of cleaning to do so that went on the back burner. It was another come from behind win! There was so much cleaning going on that I didn't make it in the shower till some guests had already arrived.

The party was a smashing good time. Is that how the Irish would say it or is that British? Lots of people, too many to name them all, came over for some food and beers. Even Rando stopped by. It wasn't an all nighter, but it really couldn't be Easter was the next day. No one wants to be hung over for Easter.

I am going to write about Easter in my next blog, I am counting Sunday as the start of a new week. Also, I am including a picture of my finished knitted bag. It has been done for awhile, but I just never took a picture of it. This is especially for CB radio.

We had our friends over; Ando didn't propose in front of them.
