I elongated my weekend by calling in sick Monday and not going to work. Yep, I’m a bad girl. Turns out I missed a tour of the Capitol in my sickness, which actually bums me out a little but oh well. I heard the tour was sort of abbreviated anyway.

My weekend, though, was great! My mom’s superior shopping/bargain hunting abilities brought me a new outfit for the wedding without me having to leave the comfort of their home. Also, I saw some friends, saw my nephew (see pictures below - Ben's first Web site), went to my college roommate’s wedding and reception, where I saw other friends, and finally just hung out with my parents. It was very nice! And the drives to Cleveland and back were not too difficult or traffic-filled at all.
