Catch-up picture post

Two weekends ago, our good friends Luke and Kim came up for a visit. We had the most excellent time, and I think they did too; it was much needed on both ends. Luke made his bean dip, we played Guitar Hero, shopped, saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop (very funny, but I suppose you have to be in the right mood for it. Thankfully I was!), played "The Game of Things" for hours, sang karaoke, and drank a little. Stephen introduced Luke to whiskey sours, and by the end of the weekend, whiskey sours and Luke were well-acquainted. 

Last Wednesday, Stephen had the day off for a doctor's appt, but was feeling a bit on the ill side, so he skipped. Instead we shopped for a bird feeder, new work clothes, enjoyed the GORGEOUS weather and ate out Chinese. Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either, but it was fun! 

For the last 18-24 months, I've had a red, raised, irregular patch on my elbow. It doesn't itch, burn, hurt, or otherwise cause me discomfort.   In fact, I forget about it until someone says, "Hey what's that thing on your elbow".  I showed it to our family doctor, and she referred me to a dermatologist, who I showed it to Tuesday. He thinks it is something called "pigmented purpura", completely harmless, but ordered a biopsy anyway. I am proud to say I handled the procedure gracefully, and I did not cry. **yaay** (I hate needles... blood... cutting... ) We will find out the results at the very latest St. Patrick's Day when my sutures are removed, sooner if it is something "unexpected or serious". I'm generally not too concerned about this case specifically, but I am somewhat uneasy about the fact that I am fair and have had many, many blistering sunburns as a kid, despite being lathered with sunblock. 

This last picture was taken last night at Ruby Tuesdays. Garden Bar+Lost=Happy Meghan.

In other news, a new concoction was invented by Kniethe & Co called "G-Whisk", and I am looking into joining a yoga school.  This month will be happily busy with my birthday and visits by Kristen/family,  Dad and Tricia, and maybe Mom and Stan. Next month is Easter (crazy.) w/ my side, and we are heading down to see Mark and Candy, but we haven't decided on a date yet.
