It's been a while, Part II

Again, another week has passed since my last post. It's been very busy. We drove up to Lawrence and KC on Thursday. Our windshield was freezing up the entire time because of the sleet and super cold temperatures. I dropped Alex and Solomon off in Lawrence and then drove to Kansas City for some work meetings. Friday, I again had to meet with some people in Lawrence and KC. One of my meetings was with our KU sponsorship contact. The guy there gave me some free KU T-shirts and some KU crocs. I doubt I will wear the crocs out and about, but I always love KU gear and crocs are very comfy. I found out last year that they are so convenient to do outside work in b/c you can trudge through mud and rain and just wash them off. They will be perfect for gameday for sure!

Speaking of KU, they didn't do so well on Saturday, but hopefully we will get out of this temporary slump. They are still my fav team and still the best team. Of course, I'm waiting for all of the fair weather KU fans to start talking... They always do.. EVERY FREAKIN' YEAR. My favorite example was Bill Self's first year at KU. Okay, we had just lost Roy (dumbo) Williams so all of the players were trying to figure out how to play for a new guy. Plus, our top two players had just graduated and gone to the NBA (Hinrich and Collison). Yet, people expected that we would have just as good of a team the next year... As much as I love KU, some of my fellow fans exhaust me. They are ridiculous. Yeah, IF it just felt like I was talking about you... I probably was.. DEAL WITH IT! :)

Little Solomon got a lot of attention this weekend. He was passed from family member to family member at Alex's brother's house. I think our nephew, Sam, is one of his biggest fans. We had a homemade pizza party on Saturday for Alex's sister, Susan, and his brother's wife, Susan. Susan #2 made the pizzas and they were super yummy. In fact, we finished off the left over pieces she sent home with us yesterday for dinner. Thanks Susan! It was a nice surprise to find the pizza in the bag when we got home!! Solomon was a good boy and even slept through all three nights. He got up a little earlier than normal a couple of the days, but I would say that is pretty good considering he was in a new place and his pack n' play instead of his crib. Again, he was soooo sweet. My MIL, Elizabeth's b-day is this week as well, so we celebrated that. It's ALSO my cousin's Aaron's bday either today or tomorrow.

Also, I hung out with Erin on Friday night and we watched the train wreck of a movie, "The Day After." It is a made-for-TV movie from the 80's about what would happen if we were hit by a nuclear bomb. It is partly based in Lawrence. There are so many strange, sort of funny things that happen in it. Erin and I have always loved to watch painful movies and comment about how ridiculous they are throughout. It's a similar passion to the one I have about Days of Our Lives which by the way is still fantastic right now..... Thank goodness for the DVR.

We just watched "Lost". Why does Kate have the Australian girl's son?? No clue.. "No clue" pretty much sums up how we feel after every episode of that show, but we still like it.

I have a sore throat. I better not be getting sick. I am going to Dallas on Thursday and Friday for training and really don't want to be sick.

Alex is currently playing "Call of Duty" of course. He loves it... (sigh).

I am getting really tired, so I think I'll call it a night soon.
