We have had a fun past couple of weeks!
Poker Night was a huge success. We had a blast. I did BBQ: got it from Hickory House, and then made coleslaw and baked beans (a homemade recipe with ground beef and bell pepper - so good!). I also made peanut butter cupcakes and coconut cupcakes. The latter is Barefoot Contessa's recipe (yes; it's not a typo - there are a total of six sticks of butter. They are heavenly!). And DH gave me an incredible mixer for my 30th bday, so I love cooking with it. We played poker late into the night, and JACOB won! It was so fun. I think he ended up with over $100!
Saturday morning after Poker Night I went to Charlotte with Issa to hang with Bridget and Thomas. T-man is about 8 months, and Issa LOVES him. She calls him Momas. We shopped, and had girl time. It was so fun. We consignment-shopped, and cooked, and had a blast.
Last weekend: enjoyed Sunday with Sally and Rick, and loved this warm weather! Issa is loving the sun. She took a spill out of the wagon the other day.
I resigned from DeKalb County. I know, I know. It's hard to leave the "back-o-the-library", with no computer, but Gwinnett County woo'd me with my OWN OFFICE, my OWN COMPUTER, my OWN DESKTOP FOR KIDS' USE, and a salary position (hello 401K!) working three days a week! I can't wait to be home two days a week with the girls, and still keep a balance while working three. I am excited.
I'm counting down to 5/25 when I'm due. We still don't know names. This pregnancy is a bit more laid-back for me... :)
This weekend we are going to Birmingham for the A-day game and also for a baby shower for my sis-in-law, Rachel. It's her and my bro's first child - a girl! She's due 4 weeks ahead of me.
Cheers!
