While Ryan and Callie (and Sean and Callie's parents and several friends) are moving all their stuff into their new house in Detroit, I am watching Jack. This is not really difficult since he is such a happy baby.
"Jack, your bottle will be ready in a few minutes so just hold on, Aunt Ruth has some online shopping to do."
He sat quietly and chewed on a toy. What a perfect child!

Happy Easter!
We had a Happy Easter because we learned that Detroit Metro Airport is not crowded on Easter Sunday at 2 in the afternoon (shortest security line ever). Then Jocelyn and Cory shared a wonderful dinner with us that included salmon that Sean was willing to eat.

Margaritas, martini style
Last night Sean and I made the long trek around the corner to Jocelyn and Cory's apartment to have burritos and margaritas, and play some games.
Sean was in charge of making the margaritas. We have never made homemade margaritas before so we had to decide how many could be made from one shaker. Our first answer was 2. Sean made 4 delicious margaritas out of 2 shakers full and poured them into martini classes with only 2 icecubes each. These were very very tasty. And very very strong. I made the observation that normally at a restaurant the glass is full of ice, so really we could have made 4 out of each shaker.
When we finished our first round and our dinner, we decided to have more margaritas. Sean did not decide to follow my suggestion and use more ice, which is when we all realized almost all of the tequila was gone. On a Wednesday night.
Lesson learned: Unless you actually want a martini, use more ice in your margaritas.

Born This Way
Folk Bloodbath
Spent the weekend in Albany supporting a conference for Red Cross College Club leaders. I was only too happy to get back to "the city" on Sunday and realized how quickly I've become a person accustomed to a certain environment. The conference was great, but being cooped up in a hotel all weekend with nowhere to walk/take a train to was frustrating.
Best thing planned for this week: a haircut! It's only been since December 28th.
