wonderful weekend

friday morning i left with coworkers to attend a committee meeting at the board meeting. admittedly, i was nervous about my part in the session but realized soon after arriving that i would be fine. the biggest reward? mmm was meeting me for the reception and dinner that followed.

we cleaned up quite nicely and made an impressive pair, if i do say so myself. our dinner companions were lovely. i was exhausted by the end of the meal and was entirely passed out by 10:02.

we woke a little late and had a HUGE breakfast. hash and waffles and eggs and it was all very yummy. we strolled around the grounds and gardens and visited the glass shop before heading to fairmont for josh and kristina's wedding. it was beautiful! the food was delicious and highgate is always such a nice place for receptions. we made some new acquaintances but the best part by far was seeing kelly.

the ride home was entirely uneventful.

today we have relaxed, cleaned, shopped and entertained the cranky, napless BBB. soon, very soon, will be his bedtime.

baby blankets make me think of james taylor

working on steph's baby blanket last night and finally realized why i keep effing it up. the pattern is wrong! seriously wrong! not even remotely right! which makes me feel better about my knitting skills, but now i have to find a new pattern and start all the way over. i'm hoping this will end up being for the best and i'm hoping that i can actually finish before the babe arrives.

very busy day at work, fraught with printer turf wars and interdepartmental suspicions. awesome.
