Yesterday (Sunday) was a day of recovery for me. And a day of work for Carrie.
I drove her to Lisa's at 9:45 in the AM so the twain of them could go do Winterfest. I returned home and spent a long time working up yesterday's blog entry about the Kansas Experience. There was so much to talk about!
I then spent most of the rest of the day working on a new version of my CGH Design site. I seem to redesign that every year or so. Maybe someday I'll hit upon a design that actually pleases me? Thatud be noice.
I picked Carrie up from Lisa's in the early evening, and we went to Metropolitan Market to buy stuff for dinner. The sushi guy made an avacado sushi especially for her. It was fun to watch him work. I also bought sushi (nigiri-style). We stopped off at home very briefly, then Carrie went to the store for a store meeting. That only lasted an hour or so, during which time I ate my sushi.
Carrie then called and told me she was on her way, so I met her and Mirriam at the curb and we went to Mississa's house. I had never been there before. Nobody could seem to believe that, but it's true. For some reason whenever Carrie went over there I was either (a) not invited or (b) unavailable to accompany her.
But now I was finally there. Why was I there? Because it was the Bead Factory's time to celebrate the November birthdays, which consisted of Carrie's and Mirriam's. Mirriam, this being her first Bead Factory birthday, was given a piece of jewelry by every other employee. So she got a tonne of new jewelry, which is really cool. Some of the pieces were pretty spectacular, including of course Carrie's (she made them in Kansas), and also Laura's earrings. Oh, yeah, I'd never met Laura before.
There was lots of good food, including fondue. Heather made a chocolate cake and a ginger cake, and I think I may have been the only one who was excited about the ginger cake. Cat made lemon bars. Someone else made kickass brownies.
Lena just about stole the whole evening once she warmed up and started chasing Nathan (Mississa's cat) around. The party unfortunately broke up right after Carrie opened her presents (everybody chipped in and bought her a gorgeous new robe), with most people practically rushing out the door. It was down to me, Carrie, Mirriam, Christine, Melissa (of course), and the Tarbet family. Lena decided she wanted to play hide-and-seek, which included this very hilarious exchange as she scrambled under an end table.
Carrie: "Are you hidden yet?"
Lena: (Loudly) "Yes!"
Everyone eventually left around 9:45 or so. I felt lame for leaving a party so early. But it was a Sunday night, and everyone had either work or school early the next morning.
