Bruises, Bumper Cars and Beef Stew

I had such a great weekend! My best friend Morgan and her hubby drove to our new house on Friday afternoon. Now, they are truly good friends. They left Friday at 12:30 p.m. from the Kansas City area and arrived in St. Louis around 7:30 p.m. Normally, that is a four maybe five hour drive! Not that I wanted them to risk their lives or their car to make it out here, but how much fun is it to get snowed in at a friend's house?!

We hung out and relaxed Friday night, then we were lucky enough for my boss to cancel my workshop on Saturday (granted, the weather wasn't good). So a bunch of my friends from college all came over to my house for dinner. Spaghetti Night LIVES!

Sunday was Demolition Ball. Demo ball was so much fun. I have the bruises to prove it. I'd gladly pay to play that again. All I have to say is: bumper cars rule. After demo ball, it was off to Nick's house for beef stew and Battlestar Galactica.

Finally, I honored Martin Luther King, Jr., by getting my hair cut. What is the connection from MLK to hair cuts? MLK would have wanted a cute gal with way cute hair to be driving over his bridge each day. I was being disrespectful to his memory until yesterday by not having way cute hair.

OK, I'm just kidding. I didn't cut my hair to honor MLK. I did it because I wanted to. My hair was damn long and needed to be trimmed. In the end, I took off five inches and it's STILL below my shoulders!

Anyway, Thanks to Mike and Morgan for coming out to visit. I had such a good time and I know Ben did, too. We can't wait to have you back in town!
