It has been a supremely odd last year. Starting with a good a trip to europe...leading through these changes at work...and slowly I have been getting back on a good course with my health ( Read more... )

Started reading the Wheel Of Time books from the beginning again. It has been a lot of fun. Even after all the times I have read the books, I still find stuff that I missed. I am just about to start the third book....that having been said...it is killing me knowing that the last book is out there and I am not reading it yet.

Ok...back to the

Took A to the "Surfjohn Stevens Christmas Sing-A-Long: Seasonal Affective Disorder Yuletide Disaster Pageant on Ice". It was a really great time. There was the brutal cold, and the long long line, but once we got in we found the perfect place for us both. We were on the top left balcony all the way at the front ( Read more... )

I still miss Tim Russert. I also hate that I had to go to work tonight. Even though they called it pretty early, it still would have been nice to be parked in front of the TV watching things unfold ( Read more... )

Took my boy to the home opener. He got to see RG3's first home game. He got to be there the first time the home team chanted "RG3". It a really great time. We went after I got home from work. We had bought our tickets online, and they were pretty awesome (Section 124, Row 1, Seat 20 and 21). The only one in front of us were the dream seats. ( Read more... )

Had lots of good seafood. 23.99 for a hundred clams...we ate several hundred. Lots of crabs (including the ones we caught, and I bled for). We bought a big mahi-mahi. The crispy fried fish skin ( Read more... )

Went to R and W's baby shower type thing (you know how it is). Aidan had a lot of fun playing with Lauren. He did, however, have some sort of allergic reaction. His right eye was almost swollen shut (we gave him some medicine, which fixed him right back up ( Read more... )

Spent yesterday at the lake. W and Faolin came down too. We cooked all sorts of yummy food (I loved the ribs...my pigs with Matt's sauce...they rocked). Saw Bob for the first time in a couple years. He brought over a couple bottles of his homemade wine. We drank four, by the time we were done. A caught two fish. Oh, and we had a nice boat ( Read more... )

Spent most of my waking hours helping K paint her room. I have to say, I really like the color she picked. Not big on her trim idea...but we will see. Now all we have to do is wait for her furniture to arrive. Our high schooler will have a nice new room ( Read more... )
