The Weekend that I was a REALLY terrible mother

My sister, Bonnie, called me last week and after I said hello, I heard a very breathless, "Guess what?!" From the tone of her voice, I wasn't really sure if this was going to good or bad news-- but I was sure it was something big (like B I G). And it was.

But, it was definitely good news! Bonnie won two tickets to go see Our Best Bites co-founders, Kate and Sara, do a live cooking demo, and attend a book signing afterwards. AND--now I'm not sure if this was out of love or some amount of loyalty, since I introduced her to this blog, but-- that second ticket was for me!!

We had SO so so so so SOOOOO much fun-- Way more fun than two mothers (with NO kids!) and a teenage college girl should be able to have together in SLC (little sister Emily tagged along as well- even though she was never officially invited! haha- j/k em). First we hit up temple square- what's temple square without a few "mermaid" poses in front of the most awesome fountain ever?



Oh yes, we had way too much fun. In this next picture- I know for a fact that Bonnie wasn't in pain, even though the picture says the opposite....


And, yes, at the cooking show- we were the crazies snapping pictures in the front row. Don't worry- they didn't kick us out for that- but they did get a little perturbed when I went to cross my legs and kicked the massive light, thereby smashing it into the large tv screen hanging from the ceiling for the rest of the show. Oh yeah- I really did that.


Thank you Bonnie! I had so much funn! (that's right- fun spelled with two N's. It was that good.)
