So it was a good weekend. My sisters were home, Dave was home, saw some old friends, had some good family time. And a 7 hour nap. When I say sleep is overrated, don't believe me. I'm lying to myself. I love sleeping.

Saturday I stopped by a Kole's first birthday party. That kid is the cutest kid ever. I don't know if I"ve ever seen him cry, and my camera loves him. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries. But of course, he's second only to the lovely Gillian. She's 4 months old now and such a cutie. She was all dressed up in purple, even a little purple headband. Made me long for my purple head to toe combinations when I was in college. Ok, maybe not. You can only be called Grimace so many times before you get the picture. But Gillian wore the color well. I can't wait to have kids so Gillian can have a cousin to play with! But then again, I've got to get married first.

After that I went to hang out with Dave, which is always a good thing. He doesn't have to say anything, he doesn't have to do anything, but just being near him makes everything good again. Anything that bothers me just disappears when we're together. We watched 'Panic Room'. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. Actually found myself clutching the blankets a couple times.

And to add on to the healing power of the Dave was that my sisters were here. It was nice to all be together again. On Sunday the whole family went out to lunch at 'Red Lobster' - my dad loves the place - and we feasted! Yes, good food helps too! After that, me and Fata kidnapped Claudine (who was supposed to meet Dan) and we went cruising. The day was GORGEOUS and we pumped up the music and drove with the windows open. I love doing that! We stopped by the comic book store, then went to the carwash. It was Claudine's first ever carwash, so it was a pretty big event. After that, off to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream. It was a good sister day!

After eating my ice cream and reading some comics, I lay down on the couch for a little nap while watching the Illini game. Didn't wake up til 7 hours later. It was a pretty nice nap! Just what I needed. Actually, this weekend was just what I needed!

And now, it's T minus 3 hours until I leave for Vegas. I'll bring my camera and other stuff so I can post pics while I'm there, because God knows, I'm going to take a TON of pics!
