The Weekend- Aug. 29-30


Hello inter-friends! Although I'm sad that summer is drawing to a close in these Northern parts I can't say that I'm not glad for cooler weather. I can start breaking out my collection of scarves, cardigans and jackets soon. YES! Fall is my favorite season of the year. But let's not get too hasty, there might be a few more swimming days yet, although probably more of the indoor variety than outdoor. So what to do on a deliciously cool weekend? Well, let me share what we'll be up to:

  • Tonight I'm headed out with my ladies to Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge. I'm looking forward to a night of cheap beer, hot cheese curds and lots of hardy laughter. Love my lady friends!
  • A visit to a working farm: Gale Woods Farm in Minnetrista has Saturday mornings on the farm where the kiddos can partake in farm activities. LN will love the animals!
  • A BBQ baby shower for a couple of friends. Fall BBQs are so much fun! Time when you actually WANT to be near a fire!
  • A possibly B-Day Pub Crawl through a fantastic St. Paul neighborhood for a dear friend.
  • A day at the fair! Bring on the cute little animals, carnies, food on a stick and hordes of people. I can't wait to take LN on the Big Yellow Slide. Hope this starts a tradition!
  • Try and partake in some of these fun events while at the fair.
  • Take a nap, play some Mario Kart with LN and maybe have a picnic.

What you up to this weekend?
Are you headed off to the Fair or other end of summer activities?

Now You See Me, Later You Won't

Although I've been away from this space for quite some time I was surprised to see that people were still reading it.  Go me!  So, although I am not going to be blogging in this space for much longer, I'm going to leave it up for the time being.  If nothing else as a way for people to find me in my next space. Next space you say?  Yes, I'm moving.  When I started this blog things were very different from what they are now.  I thought we were moving abroad much sooner, I was not going to school and there were no definite plans for a second baby.  That being said, the last few months I felt like I was not able to really be comfortable in this space.  So I'm opting to move someplace else, under a different blog name and start again.  I really hope that you will move over with me; I've so enjoyed having you along for the ride! So, sometime soon I will post about my new digs.  As soon as I find the time to put something up over...

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Ha...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...
