I'm excited to meet a few SA friends tomorrow!
And on Saturday, our family is going to do the Color Run in San Francisco. I'll have more to report on afterward, but basically it's a 5K, and participants are sprayed with color throughout the race. A couple of the Swimbabies got really excited when they heard of it, so we all signed up. It wasn't really a frugal purchase... but the point of being frugal to start with is to be able to spend money on whatever we want to at times. I figured it would be an EXPERIENCE. I think it was $30 each, so a more than a movie, but less than an amusement park (which we don't love, anyway).
Last night we had delicious Buffalo Salads for dinner. The carnivores ate chicken and I had Boca chicken, and we tossed both with spicy buffalo wing sauce. We piled up the lettuce, sliced carrots, green onions, fresh tomatoes, fresh corn (cut off the cob), and sliced celery, and then topped it off with chicken and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
Perfect!
And for dessert, I made these trail mix cookies. Wow.

See you in the morning, ladies!

I googled it and it looks like the Color Run is a copy cat Holi (Spring Indian Festival). Which we have done at Stanford several times and is awesome (but lately has been REALLY crowded and lost some of its charm). We will have to check this out next year. It looks really fun.

@MM - It was tons of fun, but really too crowded. It would have been nice with about half as many people. And even better if some of them hadn't been drinking already.
@Rob - For sure. I always say that we save to have the ability to make choices. It was FOR SURE an experience. My kids absolutely loved every minute of it. Very entertaining!
