Caroline Elopes!

So another one of my girlfriends (in fact my Maid of Honor in my wedding) is now off the market! Last night, night we celebrated Caroline and Minh's 12.13.14 elopement (in Park City Utah) at the truly fabulous Faith and Flower Restaurant downtown. Our party of 10 included the bride and groom, hubs and I, Amy and Larry, Jon and Danielle, Jung and Toby who came down from Northern California for the night. Faith and Flower was a really nice place, with a 1929's atmosphere and really tasty, if not incredibly expensive food. It was recommended to me by my foodie friend, Rodeline, after giving her some info about our night. After two hours of dinning family style with such dishes as Oxtail Agnolotti, Deviled Jidori Eggs, Ny Steak Tartare, Confeit Duck Leg, Grilled Broccolini, Burrata Pizza, Roasted Mushroom Pizza, Sauteed Blue Lake Green Beans, and Kanpachi Ceviche and partaking in fun drinks like the Harry Winston (think Japanese whiskey on a square block of ice) or English Milk Punch or Lemon & Thyme, we all found ourselves full, except for Regul who was partaking in a hunger strike. After dinner, the gang took some pictures next door with some expensive crystals and took selfies on this fancy couch. I am not sure what exactly the place was but we all just followed Amy who seemed to know what the place was and luckily the security guard watching the crystals didn't yell at us. Later everyone drove back to our house to have some celebratory cake, to partake in a nice 2004 Dom Perignon champaign, and to take shots of McCallan 12-Year old Fine Oak Whiskey (the groom's favorite). The evening was full of laughs, unexpected Wedding Mad Lips voiced by Regul, fun photo signs and split screen karaoke courtesy of Amy with a surprising lack of Journey songs available to sing.

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...
