I met some old work colleagues for lunch. Ben got a chicken pitta with a side of chicken. He thought the presentation could have been better....

I wasn't allowed to take a picture of David Sedaris, so I took one of Helen, Emma, and a very pensive-looking guy in the background.

Gemma and Oscar gave me these earrings and a matching necklace for my birthday. They bought them at the Gaudi house when we were in Barcelona.

Liz and I went to Brown Thomas today and tried on fancy schmancy sunglasses. That's after we looked at fancy schmancy shoes. Trying on fun glasses is one of my favorite things to do. This pair was definitely a hit. They looked better on Liz than they did on me. Liz said I looked like I was going skiing, but I thought I looked like a dog with droopy eyes.

Mii on Wii! Liz and I had our first tournament today. I'm at a bit of a disadvantage since she's able to practice! Oh, and I'm not sure why I picked this hairstyle for myself. I haven't worn my hair in two ponytails in, oh, 30 years.

We're going to dinner at some friend's tonight, so I picked up some wine and incredibly stinky cheese to bring along. I swear I've tried this brand, but I don't remember it being so stinky I could smell it from 10 ft away!

I helped my friend Lisa's son with his project on Ireland. As a thank you she sent me some pizza Combos and plain M&Ms (they taste different here). Woot!!!

We went to see some friends perform in their gypsy jazz band, which is a genre of music I wasn't familiar with. It was at a Lebanese restaurant so we had great food and amazing entertainment!

Enjoying pints of Paulaner and bretzels (not sure why everyone else calls them pretzels) at the Oktoberfest! We also enjoyed German sausages and Haribo candies. There was music too, but I was all about the food.

I went to a bridal shower today. Here is Liz, the blushing bride.

Kim and I met for dinner and drinks in Canton. I had the key lime martini and she had a creamsicle martini. They were delish!
