well, it's another sunday night - my typical blogging night. it's been a somewhat busy weekend. friday night j & i whipped together some quiches for some friends who had a new baby. we went to bed early anticipating a great day of skiing on saturday. i didn't sleep well at all friday night due to an awful stuffy nose (most likely dairy reaction), so i stayed home while j hit the slopes. i was bummed, but as it turned out, it was fairly warm up on the mountain so the snow was a little like rain & the snow was rutted & soft. it probably wouldn't have been the best day for me. after j came home & cleaned up, we headed over to our friends' house to deliver the quiches & meet up with another couple. after a few hours of visiting, we headed to an auction at the lewis & clark law school for the public interest law program. it was our first auction, and we didn't fare so well. we bid on a few things, but didn't manage to walk away with anything, as the prices got WAYYY too high. our friends bid on a nice mini-vacation to the columbia gorge & won... guess they have the right touch. the package they won was one of the first ones, so i think people were still reluctant to bid. as the night went on, people got more daring.
sunday morning i observed some teaching - ed sprunger was in town. he wrote a very helpful book for parents for practicing, and i was very interested to watch his style of teaching. after a couple hours, i returned home to cook up a storm with j, as we had 4 friends coming for dinner. we had lots of fun, but now i'm ready for bed!
