I'm Going to Turn Into an Orange!

My craving for mandarin oranges has extended to Orange Soda, Sunkist to be exact. It all started last week when I stopped at the grocery store to buy some flowers for Rhonda on the way to visit her in the hospital. I was searching for a drink, and orange soda sounded refreshing and tasty! The next day I was at Target and orange soda again sounded tasty with a Twix bar too! Yesterday I bought a 12 pack of Sunkist, I never before in my life would have done that, but I need my fix of orange soda! Gotta love being pregnant!

We had a pretty nice weekend, the calm before the storm of our family invading our house and a new Rourke subsides. Friday, Aaron brought home some leftover Jack Stack BBQ from the office being catered for lunch. Our neighbors came over the enjoy the BBQ with us. Saturday turned into a cave day and we did not get out of our pj's until late afternoon. I was having a lot of contractions, but I think I was just dehydrated.

Sunday we had some unexpected visitors in town, and it was great! Kelly, Alex and Solomon came into town to get Alex's computer fixed, and Rhanda's flight was cancelled, so she was able to come over. I had not seen either one of them in months, and Eli had a great time visiting with them. We watched the KU game at a pizza place on the plaza, and visited. Oh my gosh, Solomon is such a cutie. I swear, Eli was acting like he just downed a couple of cups of coffee! He was so hyper all day. I think Rhanda really enjoyed playing with Eli, she hung out with us after the game too.

I made my first batch of corned beef and cabbage. It turned out pretty well, but I had to serve it with rice, so it was slightly Filipino. We had the neighbors over again, but Grace has been sick, so it was just Jarrett. We had plenty of food, so I was happy to share! This is my last week of work, very exciting! Have a Happy St. Paddy's Day and GO KU!
