Same old, same old...

Things are still the same here. I am working all the time. I worked Friday and Saturday. Saturday night we went to the zoo ball. We payed a ridiculous amount of money for this ball, but hey, it benefits the zoo! And we got to get all dressed up, which is something we don't always get to do.

So, I got off work, rushed home, got all dolled up and we hit the road for the zoo. I knew we were having drinks with the hippo's, and I was telling Hubby I hope they let us park up there or the tram was running as I didn't want to walk all the way up there in my heels. Well, we parked in the parking lot and the local Cadillac dealership had Cadillacs with driver's ferrying people back and forth. So, the nice thing is that we didn't have to walk and they dropped us right in the middle of the party.

The first party of the ball was cocktails and a silent auction. We snuck over to see the white lions in the next building up. One of them was playing with a ball and having a good time with it.

Next was dinner. They set up a HUGE tent and we had dinner in there. While we ate, they had a live auction. The bummer part was that we ended up right under a speaker, and so it was LOUD! After we ate dinner and our delicious dessert, we ducked out of the tent because it was way too loud.

After dinner was dancing at the next pavilion over. They had a good DJ who was spinning some good tunes! After listening to a few songs we hit the road. We grabbed a Cadillac and headed down to the parking lot. We had to stop at the gift shop to pick up (and pay for) the 2 silent auction items we won. We ended up with brunch at the Broadmoor and dinner for 4 with the president of Colorado College before a hockey game, plus tickets to a game and a locker room visit.

Mom is doing okay. She gets the CAT scan of her foot read on Wednesday, so we will know more then. It's a stressful situation all around on everyone.

Yesterday Hubby went to the motorcycle races. We won tickets at the Red Ribbon Ball a few months back. But I wasn't interested, I don't like it when they wreck, and they always do. So, Hubby took his friend Glenn. They spent the day at the track watching several races and having a good time.

I spent the day being lazy. I ran a few errands but I pretty much just vegged out at home. I have to work today, but I get tomorrow off.
