Oh, What a night!

Jameson spent the night with me last night. Somehow, a kid who sleeps lengthwise across the bed and kicks is not condusive to a good night's sleep, even if you take Lunesta :(

Happy early Birthday, Gage!

We celebrated Gage's birthday a week early today. Paul & I went to the nursing home and checked my Grandma out so that she could come with. She got tired but it's nice to get her out of there once in awhile. Paul is so good to her and it's fun to see her flirt with him :) At 99, she's still got an eye for the men :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My Dad is 83 today, Allan is 38 today and Jason is 37 today. Love to you all!

Hairspray

I'm finally going to see this movie tonight. I waited for it to come this summer, but it never did. Oak Park, which shows second run movies is finally running it and Paul asked me to go see it :)
AND, he's taking me out for dinner afterwards :)

Happy Hour at my house tomorrow night. Megan will be in town and wants to party with the big girls. Hopefully, Anna willl be able to join us. On the menu for appetizers are Thai Chicken Salad on Ritz and homemade wontons with sweet and sour sauce. Yummmm, hope we have a good turnout.

Paul said it doesn't bother him if I want to have the girls over (of course, this means he can't come over then). I told him it didn't matter if it bothered him or not, I was still going to have them over. I enjoy spending time with him but he either fits into my life OR NOT. I will not settle or change what I like to do for him or any man. So there!!

Another cold, boring day in Paradise

Not much on the agenda today. I plan to go have lunch with Grandma at the nursing home and visit my Dad. And seeing as how Sarah got me hungry for pork roast last week, it's pork roast, roasted carrots and mashed potatoes and gravy for supper tonight.
Other than that, I'm going to hang out at home and keep warm :)

Congratulations Jeff & Val

Val was such a beautiful bride and they seem so happy together. We had a wonderful time at the wedding and Paul got to meet 5 more of the Homemakers, the lucky guy!

With a lot of love and luck, Jeff and Val will have a long, happy marriage like Jane and Marty's. They are still the happiest couple I know :)

Not a bad turnout for the Homemakers, seeing as how it was a seven hour drive for us. Back row, left to right: Me, Cindy (mother of the groom), Jane, Deb, Shirley and Patty. Front row, left to right: Marilyn and Maria.

Post Halloween

I had my Mom, Paul, Allison, Karter and the boys over for dinner last night. We had potato salad and homemade corndogs. The boys were very well behaved and were all fired up to go trick or treating.
Stella was very well behaved too when all the kids came to the door. Paul had her on her leash and she watched the kids through the door. After the first few groups of kids came, she quit barking at them and just sat and watched. She's turning out to be such a nice dog :)
Tomorrow morning, Paul and I are taking off for Willmar, MN for a friend's son's wedding. There will be quite a few homemakers there so Paul will finally get a chance to meet most of them :) Lucky guy!!
I'm curious to hear what they all think of him.
The wedding is Saturday night, so we won't be back until Sunday. These weekend trips are getting to be a habit. I like that Paul is always up for a road trip... not to mention the fact that he prefers to drive over riding :) I like riding :)
