I got a very pleasant suprise this morning in my inbox. I honestly wasn’t quite ready to get up, but the boys had had “movie night” and their matresses were out in the living room and Dee and I heard them up and about so it was time. Still groggy, I sat down to check email and had a new friend request on Myspace. Opened it up to find a old friend (Shane, we both grew up on the island, then dated for a short time but it wasn’t meant to be). He honestly has to be one of the nicest people I have ever met, and he’s married now and has a new baby girl. So sweet! It’s great to see his family and that such a great person found such happiness. Anyhow, it was a nice way to start off the day.
Yesterday morning we decided to endulge and go to Bainbridge BBQ for their amazing brunch and all you can eat bread pudding (life’s simple pleasures). We were so disappointed. They aren’t doing the buffet anymore, the service was just about non-existant and the food was just ok. They did make some bread pudding special for us which was above and beyond, but it wasn’t like the last time we had it. I think it’s a great business, but was bummed out with the experience when the last time we went we couldn’t say enough about how great it was.
After brekfast Levi got to go with Mary and Alice for the day, then they had a sleepover so he was the happiest boy around. Dee and I took Carlos and Trey to Home Depot (hey, they love going there!) and came back home to get naps in and we actually got to watch Carolyn’s baby “X” for about an hour. Love that baby so it was easy and it felt good to be able to give her a break (this is the first time ever in the last almost year that she’s had a break at all).
Had some something unexpected come up and I took off to help Carolyn and Dee stayed and hung out with Carlos and Trey. They had fun, lots of movies and popcorn and I got home just in time to watch the end of Ratatouille and tuck them into bed.
We are meeting up with Margaret for coffee, then heading to the store to get what we need for Superbowl!
