So, this weekend started off badly.  I had to tell Cool Boss that I was sick and needed to go home (he knows the particulars, and was very understanding, one of the many reasons he is Cool Boss).  Then I called Cdub and told her I needed to have lunch with my friend.  Her only question?  "Where?"  She met me at Olive Garden for Soup/Salad/Breadsticks, and then I went home and took a nap.  That night was the  draft horse pull.   Cdub and I stayed until the end (well, not through the awards presentation), but the Cool Spawn were tired, so the Cool Boss family left.  (I am told Cool Spawn fell asleep in the car on the way home.)   Then, since she would not have made it home in time and hadn't set up a tape,  we watched Battlestar Galactica. 

Saturday I woke up feeling better and ended up going shopping for dress shoes.  While at the mall, I decided that a pedicure was in order, and whilst my feet were soaking, the (what is the word?  nail tech?  I don't know.) talked me into a manicure.  But I did end up getting shoes.  Shoes on sale.  Then, there were more shoes on sale, so I bought another pair.  Yay shoes!

Wait, the shoes were after TRgirl called me and told me that the week they are going to Nags Head (The BIL"s parents have rented a house) is the week I am in Baltimore giving a presentation at the Batelle conference.  Stupid career advancement interfering with fun!

Sunday I got the ingredients for sausage and artichoke soup, and made a pot for during the SuperBowl.  MW joined me for the game and the soup.  I was rooting for the Pats, but I was hoping for a better game.   Also, Paul McCartney as the halftime show?  Did that not scream, "Who is the least likely artist to be found offensive?" 

Anyway, the insomnia came back last night, so y'all almost got a post at 2 AM.  (I played word games here instead.)  I decided that a workout might help fight that and allow me to sleep tonight, so I went to the gym this afternoon.  Actually, I had told Cool Boss I'd rather go walking at Lake Johnson, but was worried about being out there in the dark by myself.  I checked  my phone after I left the gym, and there was a voicemail from 2.0 asking me if I wanted to go walking.  So I did.   Fingers crossed, I will sleep tonight!
