CATCHING UP

Wow, so I guess it's been a while! Several times I started to blog, but was unable to finish it, but here I finally am! This past weekend I went up to visit with Charlotte. She is just THE FUNNEST (well, so long as she isn't tired, then she's the LOUDEST). Friday night they picked me up from the airport and took me to dinner at the Japan Center. I was starving so I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp tempura.

On Saturday, Charlotte and I played for a bit, then we all headed over to her swimming lesson. It is so cute to see all the little babies "swimming"! After lunch, we went back to the house and rested for a bit, then went to Burlingame to wander around the shops and cafes. On Sunday, we met up with my other aunt and cousin for dim sum in the city, then went to Union Square to walk around and do some shopping. This was the HOTTEST I've ever felt it in SF. It was in the 80s! Anyhow, it was a beautiful weekend and great to hang out with Charlotte.

On Monday I headed out to St. Louis for meetings on Tuesday. I've been to St. Louis four times and I have yet to have ribs. Go figure. Anyhow, I was on the airport diet Monday and Tuesday, which is soooo bad. I'm glad I got up to run Monday before work. It all started with the Whopper. I usually get a Whopper Jr., but I was so hungry I had to get a regular one with cheese. I did swap out the fries for a salad. By the time we got out of the airport, around 9, everything was closing, but we managed to find an Italian restaurant by the airport. I ate the whole lasagna, because again, I was starving.

On Tuesday, I had breakfast at the hotel, but that was it aside from the vending machine cheetos til I was back at the airport. There I had a tall skinny mocha, a chocolate chip cookie and a pretzel dog. Then on the plane I had baked stuff shells, an ice cream sundae and two glasses of wine. By the time I landed, I was beyond full.

Oh, one cool thing about the plane ride... I sat across the aisle from Bobby Brown. Yep, "every little step I take" has been stuck in my head since yesterday. Anyhow, he looked like he'd been partying hard the night before. He's also not as tall as I thought he'd be. Makes me wonder about all these stars and how tall they are in person.
