Casino Night!

So, after having a rather hectic day yesterday we finally made it to the fundraising event for the Swedish school, Monte Carlo casino night at Maria Montazami's house in Laguna Niguel. What a house. Or shall I say, what a backyard! There was a silent auction and we bid (and won) on 2 ice hockey tickets with the Anaheim Ducks. Yaay! I miss watching sports, and I really miss ice hockey! Guess we have to plan that night out way in advance again, making sure we have a baby sitter.

There were all kind of things going, personal training sessions, test drive with the Fisker karma, Swedish biscuits, movie night baskets, goodie baskets etc.

All in all we had a really good time, though we are not used to being out this "late" (note, we were home before midnight). We were yawning, feet were aching and we suck at mingling. Too many people. And the shoes I wore I used to wear at work. Now, do I have to start practising wearing heels again? Good thing I didn't wear my new super sexy pink pair, that would have been painful.

So nice of Maria to offer her house though - 182 tickets were sold - I am afraid of having more than 10 people in the flat. Yikes! Everyone looked well behaved though. Guess it was an advantage to invite lots of mum and dads who have to get up early in the morning.We got a Martini as a welcome drink - I had to smell it since I had forgotten what it tastes like.

As expected, we didn't make it to the gym (plus, I thought we'd give mum a break from watching Emily) this morning. Ache a lot from yesterday's session which is great!
