The Garbage Man's Ball

Last night, Todd and I went to a get-together for major accounts for Casella Waste. Invited for years, Todd went for the first time last year because we thought it'd be fun to try something new. It was...so my parents came over to watch Adam...the first time since LAST Year's event we left him alone at night and had someone else put him to sleep (only two months old last year, he fell asleep at Todd's parents house no problem). I was anxious as Adam is a fussy sleeper...but looking forward to going out.

It's held at a place called Riley's in Syracuse...a place I had never heard of before but has a neighborhood pub on the first floor and a party room on the second floor on Park Street. They keep the room decorated for Christmas through January for any left-over holiday get-togethers like this one. I love it there....it feels like a place I want to live...old Victorian decorated in dark blues and dark wood furniture...twinkly lights, rocking chairs and fluffy couches. And a bathroom hidden behind a pocket door in the coat room! The food is amazing...they circulate with these amazing appetizers...shrimp cocktail was the best....

Fun to do something with my husband and no kids...meet other people...and not have to chase a one-year-old around. But, I did miss him a little :)....made me appreciate him more today.

Met some interesting people...and everyone looked at me like I was going to go into labor right there! And let me tell you...the people who run Riccelli waste and trucking are half sopranoes half steve martin...had us in stitches :O

I enjoyed looking at my husband with that sparkle in his eyes that made me fall for him in the first place, cute in his white sweater and being able to appreciate every minute with him...

By ten, I was exhausted...we left around 11...I could barely stay awake in the car...remember when I was just starting my night at 11!

And the title of the post? Well, my mom said "I told your father you were going to the garbage man's ball tonight!" Love it.
