Hip, hip, hooray!

Thank God for Sunday night drinks with friends. Some valuable revelations:

1. After having a beer- there was no stomach aching. That is good because it means little issue with Gluten or allergies to beer. I was getting worried there after a string of pretty bad experiences. Hooray for that.

2. Hooray for deep, real conversations that didn't end in silence, but rather---- shocker: more conversation. Unfortunately, three hours later the four of us had to peel our butts from the vinyl booth, but worth it. The parking ramp wasn't such a good deal either.

3. Hooray for simply not doing work on Sunday night.

4. Hooray for those of us turning the corner on the big 3-0, soon. It brought some clarity and perspective for me.

5. Hooray for meeting husband at friends' house after for a little taste of WARM Thai food and a little bit of football. I am happy that two mid-western teams are going to the Super Bowl.
