Game Night at Lollipop's!





So for over a year now the hub and I have been going to my friend's game night. The evenings are always on a Friday Night and usually occur once every other month. All of the invitees are m friend's peeps from work whom I have gotten to know over the years at various events. Since we have joined the group all of the game nights have been at the same house. They decided to shake it up a bit so I offered up our house as the July Game Night location. Typically whoever hosts the game night provides the meat and then everyone else brings a dish to pass. It's all coordinated so that we have appetizers, drinks, meal and dessert. I have to say that everyone did a good job this time around as we were all completely stuffed! So this past Friday we got the house in shape for our night. I was stressing over what game we should play but it seems I need not worry because we always end up playing the same game which is Catch Phrase. Although this time we did convince everyone to sneek in a few games of Scattagories. Both games are pretty fun but the new guy (Apparently a new co-worker has made a good impression so he and his date were introduced into the group) just didn't seem to get how the game worked. Poor guy! Not only were new people cool but they brought the best baklava!! And when I say best I mean it was the best baklava I have ever tasted! The night was fun as usually but longer than normal. You know you have thrown a good party when you have empty bottles of liquor and half the party had to sleep over at your house!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
