Yes, I am one of those people that never updates. I could give a million excuses, but the one I'll go with is I'm too busy living life to write about it. Or something. Whatever.
Ok. So, this little lady had the pleasure of meeting her aunt Alli on Halloween, and looks more like Conan O'Brien every day. Lucky girl. I got to see her again on Thanksgiving (as well as the rest of the family in Missouri), and had to fight to hold her. Sophie never cries and hardly fusses. BEST BABY EVER.
Once the weather started heading to cold city, the gang and I started finding boozy ways to stay warm. This photo is from cider night, where sugar and rum induced silliness was mixed with loud music and goofy shows. Pat is quite the cider mixer.
Garrett and Andrea visited in mid-November, providing the opportunity to visit the Cheese Bar, which is as delightful as it sounds. Cheese plates, beer, wine and liquor in a relatively empty bar made for a nice time. Later we went to the Old German Beer Hall and shot some bucks and drank half liters.
The past two years in Columbia, I cooked a pre-Thanksgiving dinner for friends. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to obsessively prepare and cook too much food this year, so Garrett, Andrea and Rux came up from Chicago yet again and Jenna and Kristin joined us. The food this bunch brought was exceptional. Wine was consumed and we bee-lined to a divey basement bar/bowling alley/karaoke/arcade and practically threw quarters at the games. Andrea combined all the tickets to redeem them for this crappy little dinosaur, which she then left on my bathroom floor. I felt he needed to be glorified, resulting in this picture.
Other recent excerpts from my life include:
- one x-ray
- one stress fracture in my leg
- one boot for said stress fracture
- one impending MRI for said stress fracture
- a lot of annoyance due to all of the above
In other news, JESSICA WILL BE STATESIDE IN ONE WEEK AND IN MY APARTMENT IN 9 DAYS. I'm not excited at all.
