One of my favorite new shows (new to me, anyway) to watch is Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the Travel Channel. The guy is hysterical, I think. I had heard that he'd be doing a show on the Pacific Northwest, and considering my husband is from that area, and that we travel back a few times a year (and oh, how I want to LIVE there), I thought I'd pick up on some great places to visit. And I did. But the best, of course, was finding out there's a donut shop that makes these bad boys:

And what is that, you might ask?
That's a Bacon Donut.
And yes, I made a point of pointing this out to Dark Damian, who considers Bacon one of his four major food groups.
My other bacon-junkie friend is ElJefe (otherwise known as the ChickenStonerFarmer Friend). I called him immediately to report that you could essentially have The Dream Donut. And our conversation regressed from donuts, to a show he watched about the end times, to masturbation sleeves for men, to friends we don't talk to anymore, to pot. I love my conversations with him.
We also went to a little work shin-dig at the museum on Saturday night. This is me, right before heading out:

They opened up the Ben Franklin exhibit for us to see, and although it looked awfully interesting, I spent most of the time chatting with a resident who was operating on the young woman in this local news story.
We came home, had another couple over for a bottle of wine, dessert and a movie. And as I was crawling into bed at 12:30 a.m., my son started crying out for me ... and that was life until about 4:30 a.m. He'd moan and then scream out every twenty minutes, I'd get him quieted down, crawl back into bed, and he'd wake up again. Had I stayed up just a few more hours, I would have been up for 24. That's not fun. And neither are ear infections that won't go away. (Also, giving him medicine is about as easy as nailing JELLO to a damn tree)
Yesterday, I spent the day sleeping. HDHusband took over and I crawled back into bed. Because the big birthday weekend with family from out-of-town is a mere few days away, I will be busting ass this week getting everything together.
How was YOUR weekend??

Monday, Monday
