Best Part of the Day-
Cuz S. and I went to the M.U. b-ball game (I guess I am all of one sudden a Marquette b-ball fanatic...) using my parents' season tix (they are out of town attending Aunt Helen's funeral, God bless her and may she rest in peace.) A fun time swilling 16 oz. beers mid-day. Also, we crushed Cinnci!!!
Randomly saw a college pal in the crowd--fantastic to see her and her adorable family and chat for a minute--we will get togetha in '09--I swear.

Worst Part of the Day-
Will-O and I took the chits to see some of the downtown Christmas lights and then do some ice skating at the cutsie pie outdoor rink. Winter fun mostly in theory. It was a funny/fun time, but it was bitter, bitter cold. Our plan was to see the lights, so we had to wait until dusk, right? Too bad the temp drops about 20 degress at dusk--duh. The kids didn't seem to notice, but the icy winds were cutting through my instantly flimsy outerwear. I cut the outing short (Will-O was freezing, too), nixed the ice skating (Scarlet was irked) and pushed for eating oven baked pizzas at Louisa's where we could admire the park lights from the luxurious warmth of the indoors (this placated the bunch.)
