This weekend was good. I started feeling better Friday...of course the day after my birthday, but what are you going to do? Saturday, as promised, my husband had some people over for birthday cake. Get this, he did all the shopping and all the cleaning. I was totally impressed. His version of clean is very different from mine. But, because he ( Read more... )

Today I am 29. I'm not totally thrilled with that number. Actually, it's more of what comes after 29 that I'm a little freaked about. My mom called me bright and early to wish me a happy birthday and asked if I felt another year older. My answer was "hell yeah." Right now I'm failing miserably at pretending that I don't have a pretty bad cold ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day! We don't really make a big deal out of Valentine's Day. We usually get each other something little and then go out to dinner. Sometimes we don't even go out, ordering in is just as good. The way I see it, it doesn't matter what we eat...as long as I didn't have to cook - it's all good. This year we are trying a new ( Read more... )

Ok, here's the situation. My sister is graduating college Saturday of Memorial Day weekend (who decided that would be a good time for a graduation is beyond me, but that's the way it is). My grandmother has decided that she wants to throw my sister a big party. I guess that's nice of her, but she's having it in south Jersey (at least a 2 hour ( Read more... )

The Superbowl turned out to be a great party...even if the right team didn't win. I'm neither a Pittsburgh or a Seattle fan, but I was hoping Seattle would pull it out. Anyway, we had a really late start in planning our party and really we didn't really decide anything until Saturday afternoon. My husband made an Asian BBQ theme and went crazy ( Read more... )

We are having about 20 people over for Superbowl Sunday and we haven't planned a single thing yet. We have no idea what we are serving and I haven't really even begun my pre-game to-do list. Because we've waited til the last minute, I am now going to be forced to go to the grocery store the day before the big game. Ugh is all I have to say about ( Read more... )

The weekend was pretty good. Saturday we had some family over to celebrate my mom's birthday (which is actually today). My aunt, my grandma, and my brother and his crew all came down. I love spending time with my nephews...but those two leave a trail of destruction like you wouldn't believe. I bought the kids a whole bunch of toys (coloring ( Read more... )

My brother is still waiting to schedule his surgery. He saw one surgeon last week and this doctor wants to bring in an oncologist...which scares the hell out of me. Apparently, they don't really think that it's cancerous(they can't test it until they go in there), but they want to make sure to cover all their bases. By bringing an oncologist in ( Read more... )

I hate coming home from vacation. Especially when I left sunny 85 degree weather to come home to 12 degrees and ice. Oh well, the bills have to paid some how ( Read more... )

The first really great news of the new year came last night. My little sister got a call from the dean of admissions from Cornell University. She has officially been accepted into the vet school! I don't know about anyone else, but of all the colleges that I've ever applied to, the dean has never called me personally. Usually, you just get a ( Read more... )
