Anniversary Weekend

We had a busy Saturday, and a quiet Sunday.

While we were visiting mom Saturday morning, I got a call from my sister-in-law Diana. She and Mike had 2 extra tickets to the WSU/Creighton basketball game which started at 1pm. Corby and I agreed to go - we've both been wanting to attend a game this season. We picked up the tickets from Diana's mom, then went to Mike & Diana's house. Diana drove us to the game - and they also have a parking pass which allows them to park fairly close to the door. It's a good thing, as it was pretty darn chilly outside! WSU led the whole game, and ended up winning 70-58. It brought back a lot of memories from when I attended games in the early to mid 80's.

We went to Dillons on our way home, and then got cleaned up and went to Scotch and Sirloin for our 22nd anniversary dinner. That's the first time since we've been married that we've spent that kind of money going out to dinner. I guess after 22 years we felt like we deserved it! I got filet mignon and Corby got rib eye. The steaks were de-lish, and we had a great time!

Today has been our normal Sunday "catch-up" day. Corby cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms while I did laundry and paid bills, both ours and moms. We collected our recyclables, since our pick-up is this Tuesday. At least it got up in the 30's today. After the frigid temperatures of the last few days, it felt wonderful. It's supposed to get up in the 40's by mid-week - maybe I'll celebrate by wearing capri's to work! (NOT!)

I inclination not acquiesce in on it. I regard as nice post. Particularly the appellation attracted me to read the unscathed story.

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
