Tonight we had our final GMM for the League year. I had to get there a little early for our Class Project. As I approached the intesection. I noticed this pole looked a little askew. There was a similar situation off to the right. I knew this wasn't going to bode well for the night and we needed to have some sort of a meeting to collect items for the project.

Like any good Leaguers, we improvised and made best of the situation. We were allowed to open some doors (we meet in a Fire Hall), pull up some blinds and made due with flashlights when the sun went down. While the power was off for the foreseeable future, this handy disco ball must have been battery operated because it still worked and provided light and excitement for a short while.

Manassas Moment! It's been awhile, I know. So for those of you who aren't familiar, I post Manassas Moments to my Facebook page. They are just little snippets of my life in Manassas. While this was "technically" taken in Fairfax County, the car came from Manassas, so it counts in my world. I guess I should be proud its "somewhat" patriotic. but really - three different colors?

Since I was dog sitting all weekend, I came home Sunday night to spend some quality time with GG and the DVR. Someone must have missed me (and the TV) because she came and snuggled right next to me on the couch.

This past weekend, I dog sat for Dexter. He is this great Yellow Lab who is absolutely perfect. Other than the Parsons pups, he is my favorite. We can't really go for super long walks or play really hard since he has some joint problems. However, we did squeeze in a little play time on Saturday. His mom has this great device that lets you chuck a tennis ball without getting your hands wet with slobber. A great tool for a Lab. Dexter loves this game - almost as much as playing with his Wubba.

Tonight at Yappie Hour, we celebrated Diane's birthday. Joan and Steve are great about getting a dessert you like for your birthday and for Diane, that means cupcakes. I turned them on to a great cupcake shop in Reston - Red Velvet Cupcakery. The cupcakes were delicious - not too dense and very moist. I went for the chocolate chip cupcake and chocolate (not on the same night). Very delicious!

Tonight, Rhonda, Joan and myself went to a Women's Only Seminar presented by my Financial Planner. It was an informative session about taking control of your finances. While women still have a way to go to be equal with men on the pay scale, we did learn we have surpassed men in education!

The best part of the evening, however was the chair massages, wine, yummy food and chocolate!

Happy 5th Birthday Ginger!

This morning I took G's birthday pictures. It took a few but eventually we got a good one. Note to self - she looks better with the flash off, but I think that's true for me as well!

She got lots of birthday messages and even a present from her canine cousins Zoe and Ginger!
