Here are 4 places I have eaten at recently; 2 different cuisines, all with good company!

Cafe Istanbul (Scott Blvd & DeKalb Industrial): Authentic Mediterranean restaurant. Most seating is on cushions on the floor (not so good with a 1 year old!), décor older but interesting.  Hummus and pita were okay, but both tasted like they had pizza seasoning ( Read more... )

Or else I will appearently stay up as late as I can remember in recent history (besides for fun things like new year's and pre-new year's parties!).  However, I'm trying to be productive and do some online bill paying.  Which brings me to my point for the evening, Gwinnett Co. Water Resources is stupid.  I got my bill, and at first glance it looks ( Read more... )

This week has been filled with Christmas preparation and Muppet specials.  Sunday we bought a tree, and I put lights on while we listened to John Denver and the Muppets Christmas CD.  Afterwards we put on the best Christmas special ever, A Muppet Family Christmas, Corey was kinda scared I could quote the whole thing.  Tuesday night I baked cookies ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a month!  Lots of things have happened, like baby's first steps!  Happened the day after Thanksgiving, and now he is a walking fool!  We've also tried playing with crayons, grilled cheese sandwiches, and lots of other things.  Thanksgiving was great, some time to sleep in, see lots of family etc.  Only 2 weeks until Christmas break ( Read more... )

Ahh..what a great weekend.  Friday night we had my parents over for board games (absolutely NO trick-or-treaters, and probably the last time we can ignore Halloween for a LONG time!).  Saturday we got up early, but soon went back to bed until 11:30.  Ran some errands, got my toenails done with bonechic .  Then my aunt came over to watch David so we could ( Read more... )

Things have settled down after a very busy couple of weeks.  I sometimes feel like some weeks are more productive than others, and this is a good one.  Today after work, baby and I made it to the Dollar Store (stuff for work and the baby's birthday), GNC (glucosamine for my stupid knee), Publix (cake for said b-day, which I realized was silly ( Read more... )

If you are reading this, you probably know me personally, and if you've heard me talk about my family, know that my grandmother suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and has for almost 10 years now.  While she is still with us in body, she is not in mind, and in the past 5 years two of her sisters have also been diagnosed with the disease.  I want an ( Read more... )

- Baby is mostly recovered from a bout of croup.  Had a nasty cough this weekend, couldn't breathe very well Monday morning, but thank good ness for early dr, appointments and grandma childcare ( Read more... )

Holy cow, is September over already?  I cannot believe my little boy is 11 months old today, and will have his birthday in one month!  If I do not say it enough, he is the light of my life and I love every minute I get to spend with him ( Read more... )
