Ah and February is almost over... Not that I am sad, the opposite in fact. Paul has a tradition of celebrating Groundhog Day!! However, on the first weekend of February, he was not feeling well (he's been feeling much better since then and it's been confirmed it's not likely to be anything too serious- YAY). His tradition is to make Buffalo chili. That is, chili from ground buffalo meat, or bison, as the stores call it. So, the second weekend in February, we were going to be out of town visiting my family. I ordered the bison from Vincenzo's. The problem was, our train was scheduled in after 7 and Vincenzo's closed at 8. To make matters worse, the train was a bit late. Well, all's well that ends well. We found out you could buy Sleeman's on the train, so everything was good. And we JUST made it to Vincenzo's on time. Then, we met my family and we all went to Starbucks for much merry-making. It was Friday and Lily had "college-night" where she got to stay up as late as she wanted. We watched the Fairly Oddparents movie and then the "New Brian" episode of Family Guy. Paul made Lily a late-night grilled cheese sandwich which she said was the best grilled cheese she'd ever tasted!! Paul decided that, since it wasn't technically Groundhog Day, he wouldn't make buffalo chili after all!! But he did make buffalo burgers and homemade french fries on Sunday night so all was well. Then, on Monday, we got the news that Lily had been accepted to an arts-oriented high school as a dance major!! Yay!! So that will be next year. What an awesome weekend.
