Weekend adventures

Afraid a rather long blog today - so much can happen in two days!!


So after the chair races, fireman chasing and a teeny bit of red wine on Friday night, Saturday morning was a little bit of a struggle.  Still I eventually hauled myself out of bed and to Wholefoods to get some supplies.


With my business head on I know that the food is so expensive in Wholefoods that they can afford to have lots of lovely staff, free samples of food throughout the store, and yes even trolleys with wheels that work.  I'm a sucker and will happily hand over my hard earned cash for the fish that is line caught, chickens that have lived a freerange life and cows that have drunk beer and been massaged daily before ending up in the freezer section.  


It was one of the most pleasant grocery shops of my life, until when exiting the carpark, a car drove straight at me. I presumed that I was going the wrong way (given my driving history on a recent trip to the golf range that was a plausible assumption).  So I reversed and drove around the carpark a few times trying to find an exit.  Turns out I was initially going the right way and that big mean looking shiny silly truck sized SUV was going the wrong way.  BAD SUV.


The Wedlock Mansion decided to have a BBQ for us all.  They even purchased a BBQ for the occasion! After a remarkably short period of BBQ assembly we were cooking with gas - actually coals.  Nibbles provided some awesome spicy chicken and we all tucked into burgers and a few drinks - although as designated driver sprite was my drink of choice.

BBQ in preparation

We are learning new things about each other all the time and Madhu really WOWED us.  His salsa moves are out this world!  As a caring and sharing kind of guy, he showed Toni a few steps as well.  Us ladies just could not compete - I bet both Madhu and Toni's wives are spitting they weren't with us to watch the spectacle.

And heel, toe 123.

To round up the weekend I went into Boston with the ladies.  

Me & Jojo on the T to Boston.  Note the station name and yes I do have a skirt on.

I had suggested Dim Sum and they all agreed. It wasn't until we got to the restaurant I found out the Nibbles and Jojo had never eaten dim sum and didn't really know what on earth it was.  Oops.  Well they said they enjoyed it anyway and eating as much as possible - we only spent $34 between us all. Finally, a bargain.

As we had saved so much money on lunch we thought we'd blow some more on iceys at the park.  We even kissed a few frogs along the way.

Ready for another week at Babson.  I am a bit stuck on the old financials at the mo but that is to be expected, better get back to the homework.
