Dandelion Picker

Well, I know it was a week ago, but as soon as I got home from my long weekend, I got sick. I kept getting sicker until yesterday night when I finally broke down and took some antibiotics I had laying around. Hopefully this will kick it.

So over the long weekend I went to Toledo to hang with Wylie. My friend Jodi was in town from LA, Wy’s best friend Mandy turned 21, and Marcus Freeman was hanging out at Wy’s boyfriend’s house. So it was a busy, fun weekend.

Saturday night we all took the party bus out for Mandy’s bday. We went downtown to The Pub St. George in Toledo. It was fun. A lot of fun. The party bus broke down on the way to the bar, but we didn’t let that rain on our parade.

Here are some pics before the drinking began:

That’s me, Wy, and Marcus’ girlfriend Joanna.

And here’s a pic from AFTER the party…um yea.

We are ditzy and giggly enough on our own, no one should give us alcohol

Here’s a pic from brunch the next morning. Would somebody PLEASE turn off that bright light!?!?

That’s Mikey (Wy’s boyfriend) me, Marcus, and Joanna.

Monday I saw Jodi and Aiden since they were in town from LA. I have no pics cause I’m a dork. I always take my camera everywhere, I just never use it. Jodi got some though, so I’ll post them when she sends them over. Aiden’s just so adorable and such a good baby, he hardly fusses at all!

Monday night Mikey treated Wy and I to some new shoes and pedicures (boy did we need them). And Tuesday I spent the day at the zoo with Jodi, Jeremy, Aiden and the rest of the fam. It was a good time.

Needless to say I did NOT get Jodi’s sweater done in time for her visit But I have a feeling its going to be too small, so looks like Wy’s getting a new sweater. We’ll see what happens after I get it blocked.

So that was my busy weekend. Got to see lots of good friends and had a good time! A few things I learned this weekend: 1. I’m really, really, really white, and the pictures prove it. 2. I can’t drink like I used to. 3. I’m getting old. Nothing proves this faster than a bus full of 21 year olds.

I’m turning in early tonight, still trying to beat off this cold! Later!

Well I spent the past weekend in Toledo with Wy. I went in for my Grandma’s birthday party. Here’s a pic of me and my cousins (some of them anyways!). Oh - I got new hair! I *love* it so much! Its dark dark dark brown (as close to black as I could get) with red and copper streaks!

I didn’t get any knitting done. I was too busy playing Rock Band with Wylie (I suck at drums…but then again, so does she!) and catching up with my friend Sarah from grade school. It was good to see her again, we had lots to talk about and it was fun! And I grabbed a quick bite with my Aunt Kathleen before I came home on Sunday.

Other than that, not much to report over here. The snow keeps coming and its cold…but that’s to be expected, its March in Ohio. I really wish I had some knitting pics to show you, but I’m just not motivated lately. The endless stocking stitch of Jodi’s sweater is driving me to tears of boredom, and the beret I was working on is going to be too small, so I really need to frog it and start over.

I finished two books this week. They were both very good if anyone’s interested…

First I finished “We Need To Talk About Kevin”, then “What the Dead Know”…both kept my attention…which isn’t easy!

I broke down and bought a juicer, so there will probably be lots of juice pr0n pictures soon!

This is Aiden, Jodi’s baby. Isn’t he getting big?! I just had to post him cause he’s so damn cute! Look at that smile! I should probably get moving on the baby knitting huh?
