Survived

So, I'm back from my weekend trip.

• On Friday I had a great afternoon with my Dad! We just talked for hours. Then Mom and I went shopping, that was fun too. Lastly, ended the day with Paul, Celeste, Luisa, Jake & Miranda (plus Bomparents) at El Charro's. Yummy! Oh yes, and watched movie with Bomps, Paul and Jake.
  
• Saturday, awoke to hear from Mies that Aidan had a fever and was instructed not to worry; like that's gonna happen. (Called several times) Got my nails done, hair trimmed, spent time w/ my Aunt Kathy, then more shopping with Momsy, and got ready to G-O, go. Was picked up by the Decker's, headed to the Tin Fish, then to Partridge Creek Hall for an interesting experience; interesting because many people were fascinated with my being a librarian. I was flattered, but...okay, they're right, it IS the coolest job EVER!! Plus, many of the gents were impressed with us residing the Upper Peninsula. It's not that exciting, fellas, trust me. Then the "after" party at the Red Ox. By that time my feet were KILLING ME! Why did I buy heals that high??? Oh and everyone loved my Mom's coat, I got many hugs wearing it. ;) And was truly grateful for Mr. Jerry Decker and his being our "DD" for the evening. Deanna married a gem and a gent, in one person.
  
• Sunday, awoke early w/ lovely headache, called to check-in on Aidan, talked to parents about the night. S-L-O-W-L-Y got myself packed and moving. Had a great lunch with Barry/Scavo crew (bummed not to see Cristina, but hey, she's a popular teenager). Sat in the sunshine for 15 minutes or so. Then hopped in the "Bomps" mobile (a.k.a. Clifford the big-red-van) and headed to the airport. To find out that my flight was delayed, then after finally boarding, waiting for 20 minutes before take off, then circled Eu Claire, WI for 20 minutes only to taxi in MIN/SP for another 20 minutes. Fortunately, I had some time before the flight to Hancock, so I was good. Talked to Mies on the phone for 'while only to find out that Andrew had a fever, too. Then got on the puddle jumper (?? thought they were discontinuing that service and going with DC9's??) and headed home.
• Had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. Still dehydrated. But got to work, drank tons 'o water.

Now back to reality and to start getting ready for Halloween gathering. :)
