Jake and Brian in the Butterfly garden at UNC Hospital
What a wonderful weekend it was!!
I was lucky enough to have Deb, Brian and Jake in town this weekend. Deb came into town on Friday where we partook (is that a word) in an old Friday night ritual, Girls Night In. We caught up on the weeks' TV shows (thank you DVR) and had some takeout for dinner. It was lovely and made me a bit nostalgic for my former roomies.
Saturday I did my part for the Red Cross and donated platelets...ouch times two!! They took blood out of my right arm which traveled to a machine that took my platelets and then my blood was returned in my left arm. It took about 3 hours from start to finish partly because the vein in my right arm went left when the needle went right. It was difficult stick which resulted in the nurse having to readjust it every 10 minutes. I survived, met up with Michael and the kids for 9 and later dined with Jake's Aunt Diana and Uncle Joe (along with Deb, Brian and Jake) on yummy homemade meatloaf and potatoes.
Sunday, Deb and I went for a run (haven't done that in two months...ouch!) and met up with the boys for Waffle House breakfast...YUM! I spent the afternoon carving pumpkins with Michael and the kids and of course, roasting pumpkin seeds. Michael and I met up with Jake and Brian for sushi dinner. After beer, sake and 3 bottles of wine, I was ready to call it a night. Needless to say, toothpicks were needed this morning to prop my eyes open!
Christian and Daniel...showing off their pumpkins and goofiness!!
The witch and the Tarheel...I'm referring to the pumpkins!
