Ups and Downs of the Weekend

The Ups

I got to hang out with Milwaukee blogger Elena from Caffeinerd (she has more pictures of the night in her post) at Fred Boutique's Fashion Night Party at Cuvee.  Although we were kind of unwhelmed with the party and thought it was going to be a more fashion-y extravaganza, it was still fun to hang out.  And I tagged along while Elena met her fiance and friends at Spin, a table tennis bar, which was also a good time.

Pardon my shininess. It was the end of the night.

And I wanted to get a shot of my hair and makeup before I went all flat and shiny later on.

I was absolutely exhausted Saturday, but after a trip to Kohl's, lots of vegging, and a short nap, Bridget, hubs, and I headed to a friend's cookout.  I always enjoy hanging out with that crew, so it was fun even though it was a short visit.

The Downs

The reason we were at Kohl's Saturday was because hubs had to buy some new nice clothes and a card to go to a wake for a coworker's father.  Needless to say, that pretty much emotionally drained him for the day.

Then I ended up running a fever Saturday night and into Sunday. 

Also, Bridget's been coughing a lot at night, poor thing.

But, hopefully we'll all be a-OK tomorrow for work and daycare.
