This weekend Andy and I were busy with guests, the annual Phoenix Open and the Packers! Andy's brother, Ryan, and his girlfriend, Lisa, arrived in town last week on Wednesday late night. Andy's dad and Shelley were also supposed to arrive on Wednesday; however, with the crazy snowstorm across the Midwest they were unable to get out of Madison. Luckily Ryan and Lisa did get out of Madison and they arrived only 12 hours later than they originally planned.
Friday was the annual Phoenix Open that we go to every year with a group of people. This is a golf tournament that is a good time had by all. We spent all afternoon there and then headed to the Bird's Nest for live entertainment and drinks. The Bird's Nest is a giant tent with live bands, food and booze. While at the Bird's Nest I ended up getting a huge ego boost when an under cover cop approached me. While we were all standing around our table staying warm under the heat lamp (as it was unusually cold for Phoenix) an under cover cop flashed his badge at me and said who he was and that he needed to see my ID because I didn't look of age to be there. I responded with "Are you serious?" I really thought it was a joke. He of course wasn't being funny and flashed his ID closer to my face and announced who he was again. I then proceeded to look for my ID in my purse while letting him know that I should take this as a HUGE compliment. He said "Well, what are you 3 years older than 21?" I said "No, I am 31" and he responded with "Well, if you are 31 then you must eat your Wheaties." As I was handing over my ID I informed him that I do not eat Wheaties and I am 31. He looked at my ID and said "Wow, you are 31, keep eating your Wheaties." As Mr. Cop walked away the rest of the table burst into laughter and made fun of me for the rest of the night. Hey, keep making fun, but you will be jealous when you are 31 and don't get carded. Ha HA! The Bird's Nest closes at 10pm and we responsibly headed home in a cab.
For Saturday's festivities with Ryan and Lisa we decided to head back to the Bird's Nest instead of heading to a bar. First, it's live entertainment, second, we don't have to think of anything to do and third, I will be home by 10:30 since the Nest closes at 10pm...I was a big fan of closing time. Hey, I am no spring chicken anymore. I did not get carded by an undercover cop again on Saturday as I only got carded entering the Bird's Nest just like every other individual. I didn't need to get carded again though as Friday's nights events boosted my ego for the next year. :)
Sunday was the Super Bowl and all I can really say is way to go Packers! What a way to get the job done. We went over to the Seifert's annual Super Bowl party; however, this year was much better than years past just because the Packer's were playing. It was a good time and I brought my pasta salad that I had made before. There was plenty of food to eat and everyone had a great time. Until next year...Go Pack Go!
