Weekend Recap

What a weekend! I went up to my parents' this weekend. I thought it was going to be a slow and take-it-easy type weekend. Well, Saturday was anyway.

Saturday night I had to decide to remove one of my assistant organizers from my brunch club. I get so annoyed when I have to play "the judge". Anyway, it's a long story but I had complaints, I had to deal with it to make sure that everything is "fair". I just get so annoyed sometimes. I was talking to my Dad about it on Saturday because there have been a lot of complaints lately and I said and I continue to say I'm not responsible for people's social lives. Anyway...I don't like people who name names in their blogs and bitch about people so I guess I'll drop it. I just wish people would take more responsibity in my club for hosting events and not count on Erika and I all the time.

Sunday, I went to the Connecticut River with my brother and we did some eagle-watching. The photo above is one Joe took of the eagle after it swooped down to the river and got a fish. After it caught the fish, it landed on some ice and started floating down there river. There were three eagles in the sky harassing the first eagle and trying to see if they could steal the fish. It was pretty cool. I could see it clearer than the pic with my binoculars.

After that we went to this place called Dave's Barbeque or something in New Britian. We had the craziest waiter I've ever seen in my life. He was crazzzzy. I mean it. First of all, I hate it when you go out to eat and the waiter pulls up a chair and sits down. That is so rude. When we got our food, he explained the sauces because I guess a sauce called "devil's spit" isn't self-evident. But here's where the crazy comes in. At one point when we were eating he came by and he said, "Did you put the vinegar sauce on your fries yet? Why not? Didn't you believe me when I said it would taste good?" What a freak. Then later he came up to Joe and said, "Are these the best ribs you have ever tasted or what?" Joe said, "They're okay". Then the kid goes, "what do you think you can make bettter ribs than this?" I thought I was in the twighlight zone. Oh my gosh. Joe looked like he was really really mad and he wanted to just get the hell out of there.

Anyway, that was the weekend.

I still haven't posted my pics from Seattle. I spent some time tonight typing minutes from meetings. So, I prob won't have time to do it for a while.

Midwinter

I just got home from the Midwinter ALA meeting in Seattle. I have a little jet-lag so I haven't blogged anything about it. I just downloaded my pics tonight. I don't think I have many good pics. I'll post them to my website, maybe this weekend.

The conference was good. I had to take a lot of minutes. I saw my friends from Florida.

Here is one pic that came out okay.

Happy New Year to my two blog readers. You know who you are. I had a good Christmas and New Years. Now it is time to start another year.

I had a good break. I was able to take some days off of work and hang out with my parents and my brother. Then this week I was off from my part time job. I can't say, however, that I was very productive. I just sat around and played my Nintendo DS. What's wrong with me?

I will do my chores on Sunday, I suppose. Luckily my laundry is caught up. Another exciting entry...
