A weekend with T.






Tianna is my cousins daughter. She is a fabulous little girl. I was in the room when she was born and I remember thinking, oh my God, Jamie has a daughter!

Jaime and I were bffs growing up, unfortunatly we grown apart a bit over the years, but I see so much in her of Tianna.

T is 4, its amazing how much shes grown. She doesnt look like a little baby anymore, but now a young lady. Once a month E and I watch T for the weekend. Some months she comes twice and its always a treat for us, and I think she enjoys it too.

Last week, E and I had a heartbreaking event happen, and we were very sad. Having T come brightened our moods tremendously.


So Saturday morning, we picked her up and had a picnic at South Park with E's brothers daughter Aleda. Shes a cutie too. And the got along famously. Which is nice. We will see how well they get along 10 years from now!

Weekend in Review.

Did you ever have a weekend that flew by? I cannot believe I am sitting here late Sunday afternoon....updating my blog.
This weekend started off good. Friday I went to happy hour with on my bffs blogless Kim. Shes fab. We met up with my corworkers at the Bar Room in Station Square. After a pitcher of Patron strawberry margehritas, Kim and I were ready to eat. We headed over to Kiku ( in the freight house of station square) for dinner. We noshed on the tempura platter for an appitizer, while Kim had the sushi platter for dinner and I had the chicken terriyaki. We may or may not have had sake.
The food was insanely yummy.

Saturday, I woke up at 5:30 am only to have my personal trainer kick my a**, sorely I went home and got ready for my friend Lisa's baby shower. It was fab. Lisa is seriously the cutest mommy to be. I had a great time. I also got to see my friends Sarah and Melissa which was a great treat. Melissa is getting her Masters with 2 toddlers at home. She is an inspiration.

After the shower we went to house showing #5,897,000 and the house left much to be desired. Well, the asking price was a bit high, and every room was a different, non coordinating color. E and I decided we did not want to deal with re-painting the rooms. Even though FIL is a painter.
We will eventually found a house. This I know.

Then we went to south park with BIL and SIL cutie pie Aleda. I love being an aunt. Its so much fun. Aleda calls me "Streena" which is Bosnian for Aunt. Not exactly a good translation but you get the idea. We played for 2 hours or so then E and I headed to the Bendedum Center ( THANKS AUTUMN!) to see Annie get your Gun. I liked. I walked all over downtown in 5inch heals. I must have burned 4000 calories yesterday.

However,
After my workout I came home only to find that E went out and bought my all time favorite Ben and Jerry's ice cream, Imagine World Peace. It was inspired by John Lennon. The yummy goodness of the vanilla ice cream, fudge peace signs and toffee cookie was two much. But I *really* only ate a 1/2 cup.

Happy August everyone!
