Happy Friday!

I had a good time at happy hour yesterday with Sara.  It was nice to get to hang out, since we get to do it outside of work so infrequently.  Darn long commutes and babies. :)

The original plan was to stop at Sara's house, have a drink until her husband got home, and then head off to a local restaurant that was having a special "toast on the terrace" special.  Well, we made it to Sara's house.  Had our drink while we waited for Jerry to get home, and headed to Brabo for the special party.

While we were waiting for the valet guy, Sara found out that they cancelled the terrace party.  After some digging from Sara, we found out that they indeed cancelled the terrace party and she was incorrectly informed in her confirmation phone call earlier that day.  To compensate us for the "inconvenience", they seated us on the patio at the restaurant and assured us that we would be "taken care of".  It was nice.  We had some white sangria and an appetizer dish.  MMMM, sangria.

Then, we headed over to another new place that just opened down near my dad's old office, Virtue.  Sara knew one of the bartenders upstairs (Sara always knows the important people), so we headed up there.  They had a great mix of drinks, so I let her friend make me whatever he wanted.  The first drink was their version of an apple martini, which tasted more like apple juice than a martini (which I liked).  Then he made this beer/cocktail drink that they are known for.  It was excellent.   I will definitely try to go back to that place.

It was so nice to be out and about (though I am certainly tired today) and nice to spend some time with Sara.

On my way home, I caught up a bit with Amanda since it's been a while since we talked.  She said she is working on a 101 things list!!!  Maybe some of our items will be similar and we can accomplish them together.

Thank God today is Friday, because I can use some sleep.  I have big plans to catch up on sleep, enjoy the pool and hopefully see Harry Potter (in 3D so I can cross that off my list).

I know I don't usually take photos on casual Fridays, but I really like my new cardigan. :)  I got it at Jcrew Outlet while we were in IL.  Also, I'm wearing the "white shoes" as everyone at work calls them.  Wearing white keds with rolled up jeans makes me feel like I stepped out of a 50s sock hop movie, and I like it.

Happy Friday everyone!
