After our exciting weekend, today is such a letdown. Between our Friday night dinner outing to Li's Asian Cuisine, where KT was adventurous, trying lo mein noodles and gyoza, and smiling after every bite, knowing how proud we were of her for being! So! Big!... and Saturday's trip to the dancewear store to buy Tap Shoes! And real leather ballet shoes! (because the cheap knock-off brand at Target simply won't do for 3-year-old ballet [apparently])... and happening upon the city's Saturday Farmer's Market (fresh! flowers!)... and then having an unknown (to us) 14-year-old babysitter come over to watch our 2 kids and our friends' 1... and driving far away to a smallish wedding and drinking 2 lovely glasses of wine... and eating red velvet cake with icing that tasted like liquid-soft marshmallows... and then... then!!! watching my sister's Ironman results on the computer, clicking Refresh every few minutes, even though I knew it was going to take more than a few minutes for her to run 4.7 miles to the next split (why do they do them at such random intervals?)... and then seeing her final result, THIRD in her division!! ...and crying with her, over the phone, when SHE learned that result...
...I mean, the fact that I have a stupid head cold on a Monday, and came to work armed with my DayQuil to do some emails and data entry, is supremely lame.

What an awesome weekend! I guess the Mondays are just to emphasize the awesomeness of the good times. BTW, I was thinking about your going to Guys and Dolls (LOVE IT) as I (accidentally) listened to songs from Phantom while walking last night. I ALMOST felt like running ... but not quite.
Ooh, Phantom! I was thinking, that same night, what other musical I know as well as I know Guys & Dolls (the music, anyway), and the answer is Phantom. I played that soundtrack over and over and over in H.S.!
Boo to being sick. Sounds like a great weekend though. Hooray for your sister and a big KT!
This made me laugh out loud... that ending! What a super awesome weekend you had! Am jealous of the cake and proud of your sister - what an accomplishment!~
