I heart weekends with nothing to do!

Ahhhh. Finally a relaxing weekend with nothing to do :) Not much new to report. Tom and I have both been busy with work this past week. I'm also anxiously awaiting all of our W2's to come in the mail so we can file our taxes and be done with it. I'm making beer can chicken for dinner tonight, and it smells amazing! I can't wait to try it. If I can get a good pic of it I'll post one in my next blog. Last night we went out to the dueling piano bar again.....good times. Tomorrow we're going over to a friend's for dinner. We're going to start a monthly dinner club on Sunday nights so it should be a good time. Here is a pic that Sarah's friend Jess took of the chinchillas when she was here. Yeah, she's kinda awesome at photography :)

SNOW!

Yes, non-believers, I was one too once, but it CAN and DID snow in Birmingham yesterday! Disclaimer: It snowed for about 2 hours, did not even stick to the roads, and any snow that did stick melted about an hour after it stopped ;) I didn't get a chance to play in the "snow" because I was working, but I was more bummed I didn't get any pictures of it! Someone in our complex built a snowman and I took a pic with my phone, but my phone is currently disobeying me and not wanting to let me send the picture to my email. Here's a pic of a snowman I found on the news website:

Sarah's Visit

It's been 2 weeks......I guess it's about time for a blog update :)

My cousin Sarah and her friend Jess came to visit this past weekend. Jess is moving to Seattle from Erie so they took the "scenic route" and ended up coming through Birmingham. We had a good time. Friday night we went to a hip little bar called The Bottletree Cafe and enjoyed some vegetarian inspired dinner and a couple of bands. Saturday we went to Jim 'n Nick's for lunch and ate ourselves full. Yum. Saturday afternoon Jess left for Austin (but not before she locked her keys in her car....sad!) and we spent the rest of the afternoon sprawling on the couch being over-stuffed full of Southern BBQ and slightly hungover from Sarah's mad martini making skills :) We headed to a friend's Saturday night and explored the Vulcan on Sunday before Sarah's flight. Good times were had by all :)
