fun saturday!

this saturday was great :-)

we started the day by making it to daylight donuts, this time to the one in north raleigh (which is far superior to the cary store) in time to snag a strawberry/cheesecake glazed knot thingy and some coffee. it was extremely pleasant :-)

then we went on a dog food/pet supply run and to my parents' house for a visit. on the way, i asked andrew to drive by my old stomping ground (jordan high school) to see how the construction has changed the landscape, when we saw lots of cars parked in the "band parking lot." we decided to stop in, and we found out that it was mcdonald's day - an annual fund raiser where the band plays in the mcdonald's parking lot and a portion of the sales between 12-2pm are donated to the marching band. we went home to my parents' house, and my mother joined us for the event. afterwards, we made a pit-stop at the grocery store and headed back to my parents' place.

we hung out for a while and watched a movie, then i took a shower, and we headed off to kim's birthday extravaganza. we began with a rousing game of (very mature) boys vs. girls kickball where the "ta-ta team" totally kicked the boys' butts... kind of. and by kind of i mean we totally lost, but we played really well, and before we all passed out and headed for the much needed beer consumption, we played the best inning of the game with 3 up, 3 down for the boys -- and i tagged andrew for the last out of the game! it was definitely more fun that i anticipated.

after that, it was lots of cooking, eating, laughing, eating, drinking, eating, dancing, eating, a few rounds of catch phrase (which the ta-tas won again), and oh yeah... eating. despite my exercise explosion at kickball, i'm pretty sure i gained at least 80 lbs tonight.

now andrew and i are winding down by tucking the dogs in to bed and watching pride and prejudice on the couch! sorry, i was having too much fun enjoying the day to bother photographing it!
