Saturday night we went out to celebrate the birthday of a friend. We had a complete blast! We started at the wine bar near our house, then went to their house where he and his wife served amazing food (including the most delicious cake pops ever. Actually, these are the first cake pops I've ever tasted, but I'm still conviced they are the most delicious), showed us pictures from their vacation in Hawaii, showed us a video of the (No doors!) helicopter ride they took there (Apparently, in Hawaii, there are 720 degrees in a circle, because the pilot doing a "360" just turned them around), and amused use with the antics of their cats (which was actually funny, and not lame like it probably sounds). From there we went out to a bar across the street from their house, where there happened to be karaoke, and we were able to convince (read: force) the birthday boy to sing a song. Andrew got video of it, and I got photos (John later reminded me that Super New Awesome Camera actually takes HD video - in fact, an entire episode of House was recorded on my camera - but that fact escaped me at the time, so still photos it is).
Sunday was, of course, the Super Bowl. We watched the game at John's brother's house and stuffed our faces with bad-for-us-but-tastes-so-good food. This was after I had already made (and ate) a nice healthy dinner, so I probably counteracted that with all the yummy noms, but... these things happen.
Work is, of course, crazy busy, and I'm counting down the days until April 2 when my project should officially be live. Of course, I'm considered a "platinum level" project, which basically means we are a "very important" project, so for at least 2 weeks after go-live, key players (and, as project manager, I have a feeling I'm a key player) will have to sit in a conference room all day long just in case anything comes up. Thrilling, no?
Of course, I don't know why I'm so excited for this project to be over, because all that means is that another project will have to start up and the cycle starts all over again! Is it time for a vacation yet???
Anyway, We are certainly much closer to go-live than we were when all these photos were taken!
I don't know why I left off last time with some photos from my birthday celebrations, but didn't include this - a self-portrait taken on my 34rd birthday!
And, of course, more champagne!
Homemade pasta! Made with the pasta attachment that mom & dad got me for my birthday!
John - hard at work!
This is at a bar that we had a YPA (Young Professionals of Akron) event at. It included a "wacky sock" contest, which I won! I was wearing cow-spotted socks that were toe-socks (so they looked like gloves for your feet), and the toes were pink, so it looked like udders.

We're glad you could come! It was fun - so much fun!!
Also - a fresh batch of whoopie pies just rolled off . . . one will be reserved for you come Monday at my desk. Maybe it will be as stellar as those cake pops (which, admittedly, were *fab* - thanks!).
