Catching Up

So I figured I should catch up with the past week before the fun starts again tomorrow!!

Last Friday night Ben went out for a little while with Antonio. Taylor had been in bed for a while by the time they left so I was able to enjoy a quiet night - all by myself!! Just me, the couch, a glass of wine and American Idol! Does it make me old that I consider that to be a fantastic Friday night! HA!! Dear Crazy...

The next day was busy busy!! Around lunch time I drove out to Falls Church to pick up Heather and Leslie. Leslie was in town for Kim's bridal shower and bachlorette party! We dropped her off at Kim's moms house to get ready for the shower and Heather & I headed back to the house to play with Taylor. A few hours later we were back on the road and heading to the shower ourselves. The shower had a Mexican theme - complete with food from On The Border and a Margarita Pinata!!! So food, Pina Coladas and a couple of smacks on the pinata later - it was time to get ready for the bachlorette party.

Kim's mom was so kind to get us a limo for the evening. We were ridin in style in our stretch Hummer Limo as we headed down to Dupont. We went to a few different places - Lucky Bar, Porter's and Madhatter. It was a great night and I'm happy to say my old a$$ survived - even long enough to enjoy an IHOP breakfast with Heather and Leslie. Hey Leslie - you know that comes with Pancakes right!?! Hahahaha!

It took me a few days to recover from the lack of sleep but I managed!

Off to Wednesday night. 2/25/09 - the big Duke vs. Maryland game that I had been waiting for since our HORRIBLE 41 pt loss back in January. (I'm still trying to get over that one). I went up to Glory Days to meet Tucker - besides that game in January - we've watched all the Duke/MD games together since about 2001! Deb was able to join us so that was a BONUS! It was great to see her - it's been too long!! Antonio came by in his DUKE jersey so it was just me sitting in a sea of blue. It's ok though - I had m new shirt on and I was ready for game time!!! I think most of you know that Tucker and I have a handkerchief that we pass back and forth to the loser of each game. This past game makes it 4 in a row that I've had it. Boooooo!!

Tucker and I at the beginning of the game.

End of the game with my hankie covering my tshirt!

The shirts make this picture perfect!!

Ok - enough about me......Taylor is still a little crawling machine! She had a little cold this week but it hasn't slowed her down. Tonight she tried "cruising" around the ottoman which was exciting as well. She fell on her little butt a lot but she kept reaching to get back up so I was impressed with her determination. More to come on that.

My niece Amiayah is doing GREAT!! All of her tests came back and she got a clean bill of health! No issues and she is gaining weight like a champ. I can't wait to see her again soon!

We've got a big weekend coming up! Taylor and I are going to lunch tomorrow with Amanda. Kevin is in town so Ben and I are meeting up with him and Matty tomorrow night and Taylor is having a slumber party at the rents house! Actually - we are too since it's closer to where we are going than our own house and we won't have to get up too early to go pick up Taylor. Aunt Jack and Uncle Todd are coming over Sunday to see little TP in motion!

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend!!!
