weekend highlights.

1. loft-warming party hosted by me. two cases of wine, 2 wheels of brie - one cold, one baked with honey on top. cream cheese covered in mango salsa. goat cheese surrounded with arugula, chili sauce and cracked pepper. artichoke jalapeno cream cheese dip. hummus. cookies. sushi. veggies and dip. blue cheese-stuffed green olives. ranch cashews. about 35 people and a kick-ass playlist.

2. CT scan of the lower abdomen. forced to drink solution and have iodine injected. after finished drinking solution, asked what it is. found out it had aspartame in it. yeah, that does not fly with me. so um, i'm basically just waiting to get a migraine. wtf.

3. showed california friend around the city. during the icing of the city. he was most enthralled with seeing ice being scraped off the windshield. he'd only seen that in the movies before. ate at oklahoma joe's. ate more fries than i should have. walked through the river market. ate at the city diner. walked around some more. ate at piropos.

i'm ready for a nap. and i need to go running. but i hear it's going to ice up to or more than an inch overnight. instead of running, ice skating may be in order.
