Oh, I was so proud of myself...I just made my first pot roast, and I was so excited when I came home from work and I had pot roast waiting for me in our crock pot. I decided to try to make gravy from the liquid left over from the roast, and the end product looked like something the mom in Better Off Dead would have made. Needless to say, the gravy went in the garbage. I'll try to not let it take away from my excitement about the pot roast.

One other fun thing that happened to me as I was making the "gravy," is that we got a phone call from some annoying person looking for Pat. I would often answer these types of phone calls before we were married, and when they'd ask, "Are you his wife?" I would always just say "NO!" and burst into tears, since we were living in sin, but today, I proudly answered "Yes I am!" and it was fun.

We had another excellent couple nights this past weekend. Friday night we did our usual at Mex. Even though it's our usual, it never gets old for me. Saturday was Rebecca's birthday. Pat and I met Rebecca, Mike, and Holly out at the Blue Room. It was really fun hanging out there. It had been quite a while since we'd gone there, and it wasn't quite as busy as usual, so it was nice. After Blue Room, we danced up a storm at the Jungle. The music, I dare say, was even a little crappier than usual. Does there really need to be techno versions of John Denver's Country Road, and Simon and Garfunkle's The Boxer? Some things should never be. All in all though, it was a great night.

Last night, Pat and I took Rebecca out to Hicks & McCarthy for her birthday dinner. Anyone who hasn't been there in the last couple years should really go. They have the best lobster ravioli this side of the Mason-Dixon.

Tonight I'm going to watch Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill with my kid, so don't call me and interrupt my mojo. Please and thanks.
