Ok, so who went and saw the new Star Wars this weekend? I confess that my husband and I did, and have had our tickets since they first went on sale weeks ago.

It had been a beautiful, clear day, and we were able to see a stunning sunset. They did a raffle and gave out some gift cards, and we were able to mingle with many of our co-workers we never actually have opportunity to talk to during office hours.
