It went well

Rob's work party last Friday was very interesting. Very artsy and modern. When we walked into the room we were greeted by belly dancers. This was the mingling room with cusions on the floor to sit on and belly dancers to watch while you talked. The other room had a live band. They were really good but it was so loud in there you could not talk at all. We spent most of out time in the hall between the 2 rooms so we could chat with others. They had a free bar for everyone...which was great for those who drank...but for us all they served was flavored water. They didn't have any pop or anything. They also had a sushi bar and tons of disgusting food they were passing around (I ate none of it!!). In all it was a good night. Of all there parties, this was a pretty good one. I have seen some really weird ones in the past.
The hotel they put us in was really nice. Very modern but not tacky. Nice King size bed which was very comfortable...except the fact that there was no top sheet. Just the fitted sheet and the duvet. Is this the common practice now in hotels?...we don't stay in them enough to know. It grossed Rob out and was going to complain until we found out everyone's bed was like that. It was nice to sleep in the next morning and we went out for breakfast. We ran into Steve, Matt, Barry and Rhonda at Cora's and had a really nice time.

This week has been the last week of practicing for all our church stuff. It will be really nice to take a break from running around in the evenings. We don't get to sit down and eat as a family most nights. I am looking forward to the break.
On Saturday we are having a yard sale/BBQ/car wash for a fund raisier for the kids who are going to music camp. It costs $195.00 this year and we are trying to help with the cost. On Sunday will be our final Youth night for the season. It will be the Merkel/Sipmson award night. I will let you know who the big winners are!

Have a great day
Melissa

I've got to say, the no top sheet thing would have grossed me out too. I've never stayed in a hotel like that before.

I've always tried not to think too much about the fact that they don't wash the comforters every day, but I would have a really hard time with that if it was right against me!
