Weekend!

It's been a pretty decent weekend so far! I realized yesterday when I was talking to Matt that this is my first full down weekend since right after my dad left... how weird is that? I've been feeling a little antsy and jittery and I think the uncharacteristic amount of downtime is a good explanation. 

Tapas on Thursday were good-- Vega told me that I speak Spanish very well, so my confidence came back up a little bit for that test. Yesterday I slept in reaaaaally late for the first time in a loooooong time, so that was awesome! After I got up and took a walk, then just came back and relaxed all day. It was great to re-charge after so much crazy traveling last week. Rosario came home for lunch and was really excited because she passed statistics (she's going back to school to become a nurse) and so we had a huge lunch with wine to celebrate. The kids and I hung out for a little bit after lunch. My friend Caitlin sent me the song "Hoedown Throwdown" from the Hannah Montana movie and I played it for Maria. She was completely beside herself because she said that nobody here has been able to hear it yet because the CD isn't out (things take much longer here... for a reference point, we just started to see advertisements for Marley and Me). Apparently Maria's going to be very cool at school on Monday :-). Thanks, Cait!

I spent the afternoon just chatting with people, relaxing, and watching the new episode of The Office. I was going to meet up with Gina for churros con chocolate after dinner but had to reschedule because Rosario was M.I.A. She ended up getting home at 10:45 and served dinner at 11:00... she's a busy lady! I was bummed I didn't get to see Gina, but we're gonna go one day this week! I met up with Breezy, Alli, and Kristin around midnight and we just got a few drinks and had a very chill night.

It's my friend Laura's birthday today, so I think we're going to all go out to celebrate tonight. It should be fun!!

Hope everyone in Champaign is having a great moms' weekend!

It's hard to miss Moms weekend at Illinois...one of my favorite weekends of the year. We'll have to make up for this year's absence by doing it up big next year! I might even let Dad come.
