Board Check In 10/12

[bonzo2012]

Good morning! How is everyone? How were your weekends?

I had a pretty good weekend. On Friday I brought lunch over to a friend's house and we watched Meet Me in St Louis. She has a nearly 1 month old, and I got to hold him and get a bit of baby time.

On Saturday I went with a bunch of friends to a Highland tea. I guess there's a pretty good population here of people of Scottish heritage, so they have a number of different events throughout the year. It was a lot of fun!

Yesterday I got some chores done in the morning, but then worked in the evening. This week I have quite a bit of work to do, but likely also some shoe shopping since I'm still on the hunt for the elusive black heels! Why is every single pair I try on uncomfortable? I haven't had a shoe saga like this since the last time I was a bridesmaid and the bride wanted us to have "dark silver" shoes with absolutely no sparkles. You would think black would be easier!

Anyway, what do you all have planned?

bonzo2012 sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! I'm glad:) darn heels. Wish I could help.

SO and I went out without baby for the first time in a while. It was nice to be with just the two of us.

The fair is this week and SO won 1st, 3rd, 4th x 2, and fifth place in different categories for his photography. Very proud of him!

Other than that, nothing exciting. Lol

missjenniebean, that's great that you got some time out just the two of you! And congrats to your SO on the photography wins!

bonzo2012 - is the tea a legit tea? Is that where they toss the thing that looks like a tree stump?


Eta: Thank you

[bonzo2012]

missjenniebean, there was no tree stump tossing! It was a tea, complete with scones and cucumber sandwiches. There were kids from the youth bagpiper group that played bagpipes and drums, and some Scottish dancing. And one old guy in a great kilt that told Scottish folktales. And of course all the guys who were serving the tea were in kilts. The group organizing this had the guys compete for tips, all of which are donated to the group. We helped my friend's husband win by a landslide!

That sounds like a bunch of fun! I love tea and that atmosphere is fantastic! My college once a year on mountain day would have bag pipers play in our dorm to announce that there was no class that day. Where was this event, if you don't mind me asking?

[bonzo2012]

It was in Frederick, CO. I don't live anywhere near it so I don't mind giving you that town name!

bonzo2012 Have you tried Payless for heels? They have plain black comfort pumps that friends of mine rave about.

missjenniebean Congrats to your SO on his wins! That's so exciting!!

This week has been nuts at work as the quarter really ramps up and we desperately try to catch up on all the email we've been ignoring over the last month. I also worked last weekend and have to work again tomorrow. Ughhh. Thank goodness I love my job.
