Father's Day

This Father's Day I took hubs and kiddo to Afternoon Tea at The Huntington Langham Hotel. As it was Sunday, it was a chocolate tea. I was thinking where could I go where Daddy and Penny could both eat and of course, we all know little girl's love chocolate so hence the tea. Putting on our Sunday best we drove to the hotel after swim class and we have fun walking around the hotel and the lovely grounds. We were seated at a little table for three right by a big tower of chocolate. I could see immediately that Penny wanted to run her fingers through the tall tower of oozing chocolate but decorum prevailed. We immediately went to the chocolate bar and ate all kinds of sweets. We partook in chocolate flavored tea and we ate a ton forgetting that we also had a platter of sandwiches and scones coming so suffice to say, by the time we were done eating we were completely full. Good thing they have such lovely grounds to look at so we could wear some of the calories off. Afterward we went to Pirate Park so Penny could run around before we dropped Daddy off at iPic Theatres aka a fancy theatre where you can lounge with pillows and blankets in a reclinable chair for a screening of Entourage. Penny and I tried to keep ourselves busy in Old Town but Penny was restless and she got hungry so taking a chance we walked to the theatre and asked if there was a lounge to wait in for the remainder of the time. Luckily there was a super fancy lounge with food and drink that we could wait in without a ticket and no one but another couple with a baby was there. So Penny had the place to herself so she could run around and they just so happened to have cheese pizza. She soon discovered the baby and it wasn't long before I was engaged in conversation with those parents. Penny kept the baby entertained and tried to feed her pizza. Actually, I will have to remember that place if I ever need a place to go to relax while shopping in Old Town. After the movie let out we took Daddy to the Pie Hole for some pie. Ever since Penny was born we have always done pie (though previously at The House of Pies) so I thought this was a good way to keep the tradition but spice it up a bit. We gave Daddy his last present which was a Groupon to a running store to get some running shoes as he wants to run a 10K in October.

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...
