I love this bar...

It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face...

I interrupt this blog to bring you THIS important message!
Welcome Corrinne Elizabeth!!! Born to our dear sweet Tigger yesterday afternoon. She arrives at 6 pounds 13 ounces, 19 1/2 inches long and a full head of long black hair.

We now continue with our regularly scheduled blog...
So the weekend found me relaxing. RELAXING, people. Can you believe it?? Friday night my house was empty - no kids, no hubby, no nuthin. Just a house. A quiet, fairly clean house. And I had nowhere to go! I thought about buzzing over to Laura's because cousin David was coming over to jam, and it was tempting, but I worked late, patched some servers, approved some workstation patches, stopped at the liquor store, picked up some wine, made a return at Costco and went home. I had a date. A date with some buttery garlic pasta, some wine and my book. Hooray books!

It was like a little slice of heaven, sitting there in my living room with nothing but the sound of the washing machine...oh, and Jul calling me to see if I was "in the area" so I could stop by Flan's and have a beer...HA! Almost was, Jul - almost was!

Saturday it rained, rained, rained - so Kev-head and I had a lazy morning. Doing laundry, picking up, sleeping on and off, reading my book, eating, sleeping, doing more laundry. At one point Kevin was in the living room soaking his sore foot and reading his bike mag, Alex was there with his laptop playing WoW, I was there reading my book. We were having family cocktail hour with no cocktails!! It was quite nice.

Saturday night was GNO (Girls Night Out) with my Roselawn mamas. We went to Abuelo's for yummy food and kick-your-ass marguaritas. Then we went to see Knocked Up. I highly recommend this - and it's not a chick-flick, either....boys will find it funny, too. There were parts where I thought I would shoot popcorn straight out of my nose. Hilarious. We didn't know where to go after that. It was 10:00 - and we were out for the evening. We didn't want to go home, and we didn't want to go to a bar full of 20-somethings, either. So we went to a dive bar. I love dive bars. Some of the best nights I've ever had have been in small rinky-dink scary looking dive bars. Hell, Flan's and the Village are dive bars and they are my favorite! We go to this bar no bigger than my office and people are bringing us stools so we have enough seats. There was karaoke and I gotta tell ya - this guy? Best selection I've ever seen. There was another table full of girls there also out for GNO, there were a lot of girls singing and having a good time. We ended up staying until 1am!

Sunday we had the end of the year party for little league and it was a great day. The kids had a blast, I got to eat good food and play games in the yard. By Sunday night I was exhausted, but it was still a great weekend.


Booooo little league games every night! Hooray GNO!! (and beer)
