Friday afternoon, we're going on a quick trip to celebrate ... something. It's not that anybody in our circle of friends and family is having a party. No, Haagen Dazs is having an anniversary shindig, and relatives of employees were all invited to commemorate it. Most importantly, it's a BBQ! Even though it's a four-hour drive, you don't say no to that, especially if there is another BBQ the day before! Yea, we're SO there!
Not much else going on. We watched House, Supernatural, Bones and I really need to finish watching Smokin' Aces 2. I've had it for a month or so and just can't find the courage to finish the last 10 minutes. Yawn!
