what a great weekend! aside from getting s-i-c-k on saturday, it was a fun few days.
friday night was spent at Wondrous Azia for dinner, drinks, and the opening ceremony for the Olympics... yum and decent entertainment. i wish they'd have shown more shots of kate middleton. that girl can do no wrong, in my eyes. love her!
i also received this pic from my mom on Friday night - this is honestly one of the coolest pics i've ever seen! it's olivia (my niece) jumping off my parent's boat on the St Croix River... amazing. love this shot! go olivia!
saturday james went golfing with a friend and i got a nice long run in. hooray! 7 miles, put it on the board! but then...on our way to the Schell's Brewery in New Ulm....i grew uncomfortably ill. so the drive down to New Ulm is just under 2 hours. yeah, what were we thinking?! well we were not thinking i was going to feel so crappy! so it was a 2 hour car ride from h-e-l-l... when we finally arrived (PS this place is waaaay too cute!! loved it!!), we missed the last tour - it had sold out! ughhh. so we just poked around, bought some much needed souvenirs and headed home. i started feeling better (i think i was just in need of food/drink) and we eventually grilled out and then went out later to watch more Olympics. we will certainly have to try for the brew tour again, soon... and leave first thing in the morning! ugh. oh well, we knew we might miss it but thought it was worth a try.
sunday we hung out, ran errands and then cruised eastward to Stillwater, Mn. we had some fun hanging out on a few patios, then came home and zonked out. monday i spent at the beach...alone...because someone was supposed to have the day off but...things went awry. so anyway, it was a really nice day in the sun, relaxing.
so how about those Olympics!! i love the Olympics. i love being proud of my U.S.A! i feel like we should have an Olympic themed party... so much fun!! i love the gymnastics and volleyball - love em! has anyone noticed the cheerleaders (yes, complete with pleats and poms!!) for men's volleyball!? i can't tell if just Germany has the squad or what... but they definitely have the sideline candy goin' on!! how funny!!
looking forward watching more Olympics over the next 10 days or so. GO U-S-A!! U-S-A!!
another highlight of today - today at work it's cookie day!!! we get a box of huge, delicious, buttery cookies at work on the last day of each month... and boy are they delicious! there are a few different varieties but i think my faves are the oatmeal raisin (healthy, right?!) and the molasses. ugh, i am salivating. gross? nahhhh.
be good! it's only Tuesday.
