Big 12 Tourney in KC

Finally the Big 12 tourney is back in KC and how much did i get to enjoy. Um.... yep, nada. No games, no Kelly's in Westport, nada. Such a bummer. Not that I expected Iowa State to do much in the tourney but this time of year is a lot of fun and usually a big cyclone reunion. It always amazes me how many people and old friends I run into at Kelly's during this weekend. But this year, i spent most of Big 12's hanging out at home watching the games on tv. Mark made it to Kelly's for Thursday's night game.

Thanks to Kati for the picture. Good news is that the tourney will be back in 2010 and I'll be ready!!

We also had the second half of our birthing class on Sat. Now we're all educated on epidurals, c-sections and other forms of pain medication that i intend to take full advantage of.

Saturday night was spent at our friends Steve & Beth to celebrate St. Paddy's Day and Beth's birthday. Happy Bday Beth. Steve went way over board as usual grilling up lots and lots of food. He also had the deep fryer going and i hear they made fried pickles and fried Twinkies. Mark said the Twinkies were good. I opted not to try them. Maybe next time when I'm not pregnant.

Today is Mark's sister Laura's birthday. Happy bday to you Laura. Hope you're feeling better and over your cold soon.

Mark had a nice relaxing day today while i headed into work for a few hours. I have 2 major deadlines before i go on maternity leave and I would probably drive myself crazy if I wasn't able to make sure they get done. When you have to sign and seal the plans, you pretty much want to be in 100% control of everything that goes in them. So I final plans due this Friday for a major highway/interchange/bridge project on I-70 thru Lawrence. And i have another interchange project final plans due the following Friday. I know i won't make it 'til then since I'm getting induced on the 27th so i have to have them ready the Wednesday before. Thus the weekend work and lots of OT I've been doing lately.
