We had two sleepovers this weekend. One Friday night with baby Gwen (who’s quickly becoming a toddler). She can climb stairs now and loves it but she must be closely monitored. The other was Saturday night with her parents. We had a blast watching SNL, playing cards and making cocktails. … More Weekend Fun
I discovered Sherlock this past week and it’s wonderful. Also the easiest marathon I’ve ever done with only 9 episodes. Although I spent a good part of my weekend watching the show I’m not addicted to it. It may come but currently I’m in the clear. My biggest attraction to the show is that it … More Sherlock
I did not plan to do anything for my birthday this year. I’m not a big birthday person and since Danny was turning 30 I wanted the focus to be on him. What a fail!!! Although he did get what he asked for Danny didn’t really get anything special for his birthday. I even forgot … More A VERY happy Birthday!
I had a nice busy weekend. Friday: I went to Milford after work to have dinner with Cara. It was a great visit and she made a “vintage” meal. Shrimp Alfredo is our signature dish. She made it for me when I visited her at her apartment (before I moved upstairs) and it introduced … More Weekend Update
I had another busy weekend and did many things; however, it I’m honest I could have accomplished more. Friday: Movie night turned into chat night. I ordered the deep dish pizza I’d been craving and took a nap before Melissa came over. We drank wine and talked weddings, jobs, housing, life in general. I confided … More Weekend Update
Aside from a late night BSG game Friday night we didn’t have any real weekend plans so I decided to collect some kids. Brett and Lindsey wanted to work on their basement and I volunteered to watch the girls Saturday. Since the summer is almost over I thought it would be a good idea to … More Parenting Practice
I hosted my first cocktail party at the new place this weekend and I think it went really well! I had a lot of fun and I think our guests enjoyed themselves also. Planning a party for 11 kids is A LOT easier than having one for 11 other adults. Some lessons I learned from … More Cocktail Party
Danny said he wanted to play BSG everyday during Christmas break and he darn near got his wish. We played nearly everyday!!! Then we ended up playing this xBox game Nick introduced us to call Peggle. I’ve basically spent the past week playing games. We invited Brett, Lindsey and their girls over to Mom’s … More Happy New Year!
Yesterday, Danny and I took to the road to visit Lindsey and Brett’s new baby girl, Gwenyth. She’s a cutie and has that wonderful new baby scent. I look forward to many late night Saturdays with her. It was the first time either Danny or myself visited a newborn at the hospital and we were … More Baby Girl Gwen
Another busy weekend has come and gone. Friday night we went to Aunt Margaret’s for dinner with Mom and then stopped by Auntie’s for Anthony and Andrew’s birthday. Since we didn’t leave AM’s until 10 p.m. I kidnapped Mom and D for the trip to Auntie’s and it went surprisingly well. Mom didn’t have any problems so … More Weekend Update
