Swine Flu and "Soup"

The weekend was a great one. Friday night Dave and I tried out the Blue Iguana Mexican restaurant in SLC. We'd heard good things about it, and expected it to be a somewhat "chic and trendy" establishment. Well, I wouldn't quite label it as such. When we arrived, there were Swine Flu fliers taped up all around the restaurant explaining that they were "taking every measure to prevent Swine Flu outbreaks". I know, tasty right? It got us all sorts of hungry for their "contagious" food. We didn't let the fliers and creepy basement surroundings scare us. The food was a pretty tasty, and the mariachi band created a nice dining atmosphere. After dinner, we shopped at Trolley Square and got an icecream cone.

***Note to reader: If Dave and I become part of the epidemic, you know the source!

Saturday morning we took my mom to breakfast as part of her Mother's Day gift. We went to the Grand America, where the breakfast buffet never disappoints. Lyle was unable to grace us with his presence as he was away on a scouting campout. After the food fest, it was evident that all our stomachs enjoyed themselves; they told us we ought to make this a tradition. I agree.

After breakfast, Dave and his dad put together our cute new vinyl garden box. They had to do some deep digging to bury the posts of the box to anchor it in the ground. It turned out super cute and now we can be "fruitful" year after year.

This morning was a great Mother's Day! Amongst clothes and new cell phone accessories, Dave got me tickets to see Joel McHale live in concert. Please don't tell me you don't know who he is. He's only our favorite E! Soup host and he's coming to Abravanel Hall. For weeks of watching the Soup, I've heard him talk about visiting other states, and have been disappointed to never hear him announce a Salt Lake visit (lame I didn't check the internet). Anyway, (the smarter) Dave did just that and ordered us tickets. What a thoughtful hubby!

Tonight my siblings and I are in charge of dinner to give Sherrie a break for once. We're excited to hear from my little brother, Mike, who's serving in Thailand.
