Today an expecting parent in the neighborhood said that "Isabel" had been on her list of names if her kid was a girl but hates the nickname "Izzy". Um, that's what we call this cherub hanging out on my chest. And no, it's not because of Grey's Anatomy.

For once, the person with a foot in her mouth wasn't me.

Yesterday, Izzy, the dogs and I went for a walk up our street and into the woods at the end where the Harvey Ball trail begins. Down by the pond I saw a large white tail which belonged of course to a large doe. She ran up the next hill but was visible for quite awhile until she went over the other side. Holly noticed very late and tried to run ( Read more... )

More to follow and I'll try to get a copy of Troll's first post up on my journal since I don't know yet how to post pictures and I'm a bit tired to try to do a long post right now. So I just wanted folks to know, we're finally home and we survived the first night without any fatal incidents. Just a spilt tiramisu and who's gonna cry over that ( Read more... )

so i've been kinda absent from here though reading everyone else's posts fairly regularly. not that i ever posted much to begin with. though i guess i need to get in the habit. i'm jealous of the nephew's blog and my new year's resolution will be to at least keep up a blog on my kid for family and friends ( Read more... )

Tonight I pick up my dream car: a Subaru Outback Wagon. We had forgotten how much we missed out little Impreza. So now we can go to Maine during the winter AND fit Kris, two large dogs and a kid comfortably ( Read more... )

And the worst wife.

Well, today anyways.

It's our 5th (?!?!) anniversary today. I came home to washed dishes, clean laundry and a made bed :) He's off now to the bank so we can get dinner and chocolate fondue. Yum :P

What have I done? Nothing. I'm off to take a nap to try to shake this sinus headache.  I think I have a card somewhere...

for the record, I HATE millers! You know, those little moths that get into EVERYTHING! I found two sources today one of which had new maggots. Ugh! I hate bug larvae more than I hate the bugs themselves. The other was DH's beer supplies out back. The little buggers actually ate THROUGH the plastic bag leaving tiny holes.

Icky! Icky! Icky!

Must.

I had two fortune cookies with dinner last night:

"When the moment comes, choose the last one from the left."

"When the moment comes, choose the one on the right."

Well, then.

And I hear he roared on the way out.

I am an aunt yet again but this time it's a nephew and he's on my side of the family :)

Laura gave birth to Griffin Cole Cassellius on the afternoon of Thursday, August 9.
He weighed 7 lb 15.4 oz. I do not know the volume. He is truly beautiful.
Mother and son are both doing well and due to come home today.

And now it's called Sapporo and is in downtown Westboro. Troll and I had passed it a month ago and finally figured we'd try the "Korean Barbeque" restaurant last night and were greeted with "Remember me?" by the maitre'd and a hug from the owner. Of course we got the Dol Sot Bim Bap. Yum! Their sushi menu has expanded somewhat and now they have ( Read more... )
