Chocolate Martini

On Thursday, Ar and I went on our semi-annual date night (It isn't quite that rare :). We went to see U2 3-D at the Seattle Imax Theatre, ate dinner at Wild Ginger (with our Christmas gift certificate) and tried a chocolate martini, then went to the Decemberist at the Moore Theatre. The Concert was fantastic. They were truly excellent performers and it was very fun to see all the instruments they played during the concert (A Cello! An Organ! An Accordion! A Base! A Grinder...and several others I didn't even know what they were).  They have traveled even farther up my favorite bands list after that concert.  

 On Sunday we went to my Aunt and Uncle's house for their SuperBowl party. I take personal pride in my complete disinterest in football. I was looking at the party as a good opportunity to see my family, watch a few episodes of the Office with my cousin Trisha, and study endocrinology. I  actually enjoyed the last twenty minutes of the game more than I have ever enjoyed any other football game, even if I was sort of semi hoping the Patriots would win. I did live in Massachusetts for four years, after all.  

  I am enjoying a bit of a break this week. I am taking Advance Cardiac Life Support classes (It is even less exciting than it sounds) this next weekend and get to take this week off in comp time. I am planning on enjoying the extra evenings I get to spend with the kids.
