Weekend Review

The weekend was long, and well Saturday was a little shaky. Micah went on a bikeride from 7:30-12:30pm (47miles) , and I was a little ticked off to say the least (only b/c we hadn’t seen him all week). So when he got home I went to go and get a necklace repaired and shop at Hamburg, I had planned on going to Petsmart to pet the puppies, but I was feeling pretty good after a couple hours shopping so I didn’t need to, but Sunday was awesome. We actually got to sleep in a bit! Micah woke up and made a stellar breakfast, he crumbled up sausage and put it inside the pancakes, then fried and egg over easy and put it on top of the pancake, pour on maple syrup and there you have it. Sounds a bit weird but tastes out of this world. Then we got ready to go to Rolex. The day was beautiful and the kids did great. The only bad part was the blisters I got from wearing the wrong shoes….stupid me! By the time we got home we put the kids down. I took a nap, Micah studied, then the good part. We went over to the neighbors for dinner. Now some of you have heard me talk about my neighbors. They are the world’s greatest. Our kids love them like family and so do we. So anyway after dinner they gave us an anniversary present. It’s a 4 course dinner at Chrisman Mill Winery. They only do it once a month in the summer, for twenty couples, by reservation only. How freakin’ cool is that! And to top it off they are watching the kids for us while we go. We are soooooo excited. So rocky start, awesome finish….Thanks Neane and Casey! And for the grand finale, Gentry slept from 12-8am!

Grey wouldn’t eat lunch, but he attacked this dove bar. He even ate the bits that fell on his pants.

I’m not a zealot, no really, I’m not!

Yesterday I read Patch’s blog and got a bit of a slap upside the head. Let me step back a bit and say that I got a phone call and two emails about Rosie being fired. That compiled with Patch’s 21 commandments made me realize that people must think I’m some kind of zealot. Which honestly, about 1 issue I am, but on the broad spectrum I’m not. I think we all have that issue that hits so close to home for 1 reason or another that we refuse to compromise, but for the most part I’m willing to at least see the other side, even if I don’t agree with it.

I stil hate Rosie and am SO glad she’s gone. They said the ratings went up 16% while she was on the show, but I would rather watch another year of Star planning her wedding then suffer through one more day of Rosie. She’s rude, loud, & obnoxious. I think ratings only went up because people like watching the train wreck. Seriously (this is a stereotype) the women who are at home to watch the view aren’t really Rosie’s bag, if you get my drift. I guess I’ve just become gun shy because after the ‘04 election you can’t turn on the tv without some celeb spouting off their opinion, and I’m sick of it! I have younge kids who shouldn’t hear half of the stuff they have to say, but in flipping through the channels you get bombarded. And they act like anyone who dosen’t agree with them must be some uninformed, hillbilly, idiot. So let me just say I’m not an idiot, a hillbilly, or uninformed, I just wholeheartedly disagree.

I’m bound to have a heart attack

Oh Oprah today Dr. Oz quoted a new study about heart attack sufferers in Germany (I’m German). They said women are 50% more likely to suffer a heart attack if there homes are noisy all day because it raises the bodies anxiety level. Not only is my house NEVER quiet, but even when the day is over and I’m laying in bed, I often nudge Micah and say “did you hear that”, “hear what?”, “the baby crying”, “honey the house is silent”. I don’t hear a ringing in my ears, I hear babies screaming!

Nobody puts Baby in the corner (swoon:-)

Now I’ve had the time of my liiiiiife and I owe (head nod) it all (head nod) to you (head nod). Oh Patrick, how you have made me swoon. I have no idea the first time I saw Dirty Dancing, but my sister and I watched it so much that we could actually act out the log scene on the staircase banister….Hey, hey baby, I wanna know ow ow will you be my girl (foot wiggle). Okay, Okay, the point is they are showing the movie at Hamburg May 1&2 @ 7:30pm ticket are $10 bucks. Let me know if you wanna go, and to which showing. I prefer the 1st….who’s with me?

Coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time

This is so amazing
If I ever open a resturant this would be the kind I’d want to open. I love to cook for people! And you can usually tell how important someone is to me by how often I cook for them (or offer to cook for them).
