January 15, 2011 - One Last Brunch

Breakfast

I started the day off with a smoothie. I knew I had plans for brunch, but it was going to be at 1230. I was very glad that I barely drank during the party so was only hungry and tired when I woke up.

Brunch at East Side Cafe
All of my friends, and Mike's parents were all to meet at the East Side Cafe. We were celebrating my friends last day in town, another one leaving the country, and my mother in law's birthday.  This actually was the last time Mike and I got to hang out with Diva. We wish now that we would have made this event a family only event, but then are also happy that Diva got to see  us with a big group of friends that all love us and make us happy. I think at worst, sharing this brunch with her and our friends let her know that we have a great support system, and are all happy in our lives.

Now back to the food. I started out with a blueberry muffin. This was one that Diva was jealous of. So jealous she ordered her own, even though I offered to give her mine.

I ended up ordering the eggs benedict. I have never ordered this before, but I have tried it before when Mike ordered it in the past, and knew I had to have it. It was delicious. I ended up eating about half of this, and ended up regretting it shortly after, just because I was so full.

Here is my friend who is moving to Brazil. Diva offered her advice about Brazil, it was nice having them talk. All of my friends knew her and all used her as a source of information. It was so amazing.

Here is Mike and Diva (my mother in law). She had fallen down in Brazil over the New Year so she had a bruise on her face. 

After brunch, the in laws left because they had a long trip back. We now wish we got to stay with them longer that day, but that is life. Mike and I spent the rest of the day watching The Wire and hanging out.

Dinner

I ended up eating broccoli, with psata sauce, Parmesan and toasted cashews for dinner. Kind of a weird dinner, but it was still good.

After dinner Mike and I headed over to a friends house for a final goodbye party. I only ended up staying for 2 hours, because I was utterly exhausted, and then promptly got stuck in traffic on my way home. Oops.
