Best Part of the Day-
Meeting a friend out for cocktails and chatting in swanky, dimly lit watering hole. F-U-N as always. I was super duper sleepy prior to meeting her out and even thought of cancelling...but couldn't bear to be that lame. We have some serious good times together and tonight was no exception.

Worst Part of the Day-
I went to drop Scarlet off at an afternoon b-day party at Stonefire Pizza (think Chuck E. Cheese on 'roids...) Since the kiddos in S.'s class are all turning 5, it is pretty much a known fact that parents can simply drop off and pick up kids from these 2.5 hour parties (unless the child feels more comfortable with the parent present--mine does not care!) I was planning on shooting to work and getting a yummy caffeinated beverage in the 2 hour time slot. I thought I would come back for present opening and then final salutations for the b-day family and then get ready for my adult outing later in the eve. Stop the presses. The mom o' b-day girl felt better if parents stayed as Stonefire P. was crazily packed and loud (and migraine-inducing) and seemed highly chaotic...(yes it was all those things...) I sooooo did not want to stay. I wanted to do my Saturday afteroon things--I wanted to not be in the party zone. Alas, we do things for the kids.
We left the madness after 6pm--3 hours after arriving. Arrrggghhh.
