This has been a really lovely weekend.

Except for Friday, when I threw up from stress apparently (that's 2 Fridays in a row where I puked uncontrollably at work), it was wonderful.

Saturday was a lovely bday party for two of Beanie's friends, Lucas and Sadie (Luc is 4, Sadie is 1) followed by yum pizza with two of Beanie's OTHER pals, Roan and Sage (Roanie is turning 4 in a few weeks, Sage turned 1 a couple of months ago). Today we had brunch with Regina, and then watched the Italy take the world cup away from France at her in-law's house. It was nice, but jeebus, they went into overtime twice and then Italy had to kick 5 PK's before it was decided absolutely. Long morning. Followed by fun at the park with Gina, her husband, and their two sons. I missed her daughter, who is visiting her daddy in Portland. But it was so great to see my best friend before I have to leave for a week.

I am going to Korea on the 15th. I have most of my clothes packed in a giant bag that I think I don't need. It's my first work travel trip, and it's relativel short for a work trip, but it's still sad to leave the Beanie. I know she's in good hands, but it's gonna hurt. I'm taking my breast pump and my domperidone to keep my supply up. My darling beanie buddha. Your pics are in my wallet so I can stare at you and smile all week.

I'll be back on the 20th.
