What a Weekend!

In this photo: Veronica and her friends along with Stephen, at the 'head table' for Bunko. OK. It was a pretty busy weekend. It all started Friday afternoon with Darrell's Birthday dinner at Buca di Beppo. Then, Saturday I was off to the races for BUNKO fundraising. The event went okay, I am sure more money could have been raised by simply asking for donations, but I belong to a Women's Club and they wanted to see us try to fundraise, and they would help organize it. It was pretty cool seeing the diversity. One funny thing was watching the 'older' players plug thier ears when the 'younger players' scored BUNKO. The kids were just going crazy screaming and yelling. It was hilarious! I went home and summarized all of the dollar amount and then...I couldn't sleep. I was just going over and over it in my head. I thought maybe we had not turned off the stove. I finally had to take the night-time tylenol to get some sleep! Oh, for dinner? I had hotdogs.
Then....Sunday. We slept in a little and went dashing off to Mass. Then off to Susies for a goodbye to Samantha. I was the lucky one, I got to swoop her away for a trip to the theater! For dinner? Hotdogs.
At the play I really got caught up. I mean, we had been waiting for this musical for a while. We listen to the music every day! I spent a few dollars (Ha!) on a T-Shirt for Missy and Programs for both Sam and her. The show was just phenominal. We waited outside for autographs. We got 4 of the main characters to sign our Playbill. Sam got her autographs on the program. A very emotion-filled evening...still, I was pretty wound-up and didn't get to fall asleep until after midnight. Then...
This morning was our annual welcome back day for faculty. The semester starts next week. We opened a new parking structure and I had to be on campus at 7am. Next week, I'll need to be there at 6:30a. I have to get my body clock turned back. I had to read some names of staff members in front of a big group today. I tried to make a joke about the photo they used of me...its my blog profile photo. Needless to say, my hair is NOT short and blonde. It is long and brown these days. No one laughed. Okaaaaaaaaaaaay .
After that I just didn't care anymore. I was d-o-n-e. My busiest day is over. .

I still have a few things going on during the rest of the month, but the biggies are over. Now...I think Ben should start packing!
