Happy Birthday Chunk O' Love!

Just some cute pics.....and a winter weather advisory

Me and my man dancing at a co-workers wedding.
Scott apparently does not think he is a good dancer but I would like to argue that point.


This is our table at the wedding. It was a really beautiful reception!

In other news, today is the first day of spring. When I saw that on my calendar today, I laughed. Chicago is in for 4-6 inches of snow tonight. Granted, at this moment, the sun is out and the weather is beautiful....I even have an afternoon walk planned with my friend from work. Don't get too excited about spring people....remember what I said about the Center for Climate Control people?.....I suppose they were right. Bummer.

Happy Easter friends. May the death and resurrection of our Lord reside in your hearts not only this weekend but always.

I heart Sushi.....and my Boyfriend

So, to celebrate our anniversary, Scott called and was randomly like....there's this sushi place. Let's go. My sister/bro-in-law and myself had already subjected the poor thing to Pho
(by the way, that pic is really gross and does not depict what I eat). He has gotten me hooked on brats (yum! He cooks them in beer.......wow, so good).

Anyhow, now he wanted me to subject him to another odd type of eating. I admit - the first time I ate it, I was forced b/c it was all we were being offered at a free meal in So Cal. Now, I can't get enough of it. I felt very inept at trying to explain to Scott the in's and out's of sushi but he seemed to like it. He wanted us to be able to enjoy it together......sooooo wonderful he is.

I think the funniest thing was him watching me use my chop sticks. I could see his engineer-brain turning. Here you go baby!
(even though I don't really do it right....hey, works for me)

He also brought me some beautiful flowers along with skittles!!!! I did not forget to bring them to work with me today......:-) so I can eat them......probably all of them.......

Yummy.

Farts.....

I was privelaged to spend an evening with just me and the sis and baby Miles. While the momma went to enhance her skin for Cayman, I gave Miles his bath and got the cute thing ready for bed.

So, he is crawling all over the baby bathtub having a great time, when he gets on all fours, looks down at the water and farts. Without skipping a beat, Miles busted out laughing this huge belly laugh that shook his entire body. That moment would have won AFV in a second.

Not even out of infant stage, this baby boy is already laughing at farts. While An and I were falling asleep, I mentioned this to her....apparently, about a week ago, the little man started laughing every time he farts....and even when someone else farts (Andrea tested that theory.......). As An said, like father, like son. Congratulations Mike....its a son.

Who farted?

We made it!....well, almost.

I believe I heard joyous cries throughout Chicago yesterday when we all woke up to March. That does not mean we are without snow. It just means dreary February is behind us and the light is within view....especially with the spring forward next weekend. The Department of Climate Contol (not sure what they think they have control over??).....said that we should expect another big snow storm in March and, as is every spring, we will get snow in April. It's inevitable.


Cue my happy Florida life thoughts. They tend to come out this time of year. Running in my local park in February and rarely needing a coat. Oh, my. Even Tallahassee looks like paradise this time of year.

See? Case in Point. Sleeveless at Christmas. (and a tan....)

NOW, we move to June in Chicago.....and I need a blanket and sweater.

(no tan)

I make my point.
