Celebrated my 38th birthday tonight - with my bestest buddies at my favorite place . . Red Lobster. . . DUH! It was a great night - Alice got to hang with her BFF, Luca . . and we tried a little to get Marin and L3 to be best buddies . . we'll work on that!! :) Thanks to my favorite people for coming out to celebrate with me, for texting me, for calling me at freakin' 7am, for singing, and for just plain thinking of me today. I am loved. :)
Well - we got the gang together for a good cause! NAMI hosted a Pub Trivia challenge at a Nordeast bar . . .so . .yeah . .we were IN! Joe, Lynn, Lon, Jaime, and I are part of a larger group who play in a trivia game daily . . so who better to join forces for a good cause?? (Jaime and Joe are usually fighting it out for 1st place every month - so imagine how awesome we were when we pooled together!) The Others (our team) tied for 3rd place . . .and we're totally HOOKED! I'm sure we'll be getting together again soon to take on other nerdy trivia types!! :)
Alice and I went to Amy-in-Anoka's church in . . well . . Anoka. To see her get confirmed. Judy was her sponsor . . and lots of friends were there to help celebrate. After church we all went to Perkins where Alice got to have yummy bear pancakes with chocolate chips! Fun Day.
Jaime and I planned a trip to the mall for manicures before the Super Bowl. We thought we'd take Alice with us - so that Lonny could have some peace whilst L3 slept. Well, she's quite the planner, and she was ready to get her nails done too! (she also wanted her toes done - but we convinced her to wait until we could wear flip flops! . .but she already has that planned out . . and wants her nails done then too!) :) Alice is a curious kid. .and even tho she looked a little worried while the manicurist prepped - she soon was quite content - and just watched . . and sat . .VERY. STILL. She was the hit of the salon . .everybody was watching her and smiling, and helping her keep her fan going . . she was a rock star. . and now we're all ADORABLE!
