My weekend and snowy Monday

I had a really great weekend. First - we ended up getting REALLY great tickets to the Wizards/Bulls game. When I say REALLY great tickets - I mean - we were in the THIRD row - which means we were sitting on the floor! But what made the game even cooler was that Obama was coming to the game. We did not know this before hand - so we were complaining about how tight security was... (They even inspected all of my spare change before letting me enter!) But - once Obama got in - I could not believe how close he was to us. He was sitting on the first row (of course...) - on the same side of the court, just the opposite end (if that makes any sense)... So - anyway - as we went up to get some concessions - we decided to take the 'longer' route - and walked RIGHT by him! I was a little awe struck - and I caught his eye as I walked by, and he actually said 'How are you?' TO ME!!!! I just said - 'Good!' and kept walking. Here is a picture that Scott took (secretly) as he walked by with me. Yeah - it was pretty dang cool...

So on Saturday night we went out with some friends of mine from work - I will have to post a few pics from that later on when I get them. But we hit China Town for the 2nd time that weekend - and had a great time.

Sunday was much calmer - that is until it started snowing! Luckily I had picked up Max and had him safely home before the roads started getting bad. I was able to just hunker down and enjoy the snow.

Today I woke up to a TON of snow - and it just was not practical to go into work. I'm doing some work from home, but mostly hanging with Max. Oh - and I had to spend about 2 hours this morning moving my car before it got plowed in!!! (Normally I have the best PRIME reserved spot - except for snow days - when it becomes the dumping grounds to all of our cul-de-sacs snow...). Max had a GREAT time playing in the snow with our neighbors. Until about 20 minutes AFTER he took off his mittens... Then he wasn't so happy... After a little TLC he was OK though. So - cheers to the occasional snow day! :)
