Girl’s Night

Last night my friend Tammy and I actually got the chance to go out and actually see a movie and go to dinner. All I can say is, I didn’t know how much I needed it. Tammy and I are both busy, but Tammy is insanely busy. Such is the life of a veterinary surgery intern. By some miracle she was able to get out of work early enough for us to go to an early show and then to dinner. A chance to watch a definite “Chick flick” and get some quality girl talk time.

We went to see 27 Dresses. All I can say was that it was a fun romantic comedy with some nice eye candy and a very “Izzy” character played by what-her-face from Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl. Not a whole lot for those of you who don’t like the romantic comedy but if you are looking for a good escape with some nice eye candy from “Cyclops” James Marsden, you could do worse than 27 Dresses. While it is totally formulaic we both enjoyed it, although I was absolutely embarrassed for them during the Benny and the Jets scene. The best thing about it though was that it was a movie out. I didn’t need a babysitter because Anthony stayed home. What do you think, a great Valentines gift eh?

Menu Plan Monday

 menu_plan_monday_napa_2.jpg

I have no idea what to plan for this week.  I want to plan, and I am going to try but I am just about out of inspiration.  OK so what should I do, plan meals that I might want to prepare or just go with what I have around the house? Hopefully I will stick somewhat to these even if my instinct is to order chinese the entire week.

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: Pasta and meatsauce

Wednesday: BBQ Chicken,  mashed potatoes and veggies

Thursday: Steak, baked potatoes and veggies
Friday: Fish

Saturday:Roasted Chicken, and veggies
Sunday: Open

Maybe I will peruse the other meal plan offerings and change my mind. 🙂

Overheard at Wendy’s Today

Today Anthony, Aidan and I headed to Coquitlam to go to a geocaching event. We left early enough so that we could pick up a couple of caches and have lunch before the event. When Aidan was asked a question by Anthony he replied “No I am just Aidan.” This lead to a discussion that went something like this:

Gwen: “Aidan are you a big boy?”

Aidan: “Yes, and Daddy is a big boy.”

Anthony: “Yes I am bud.”

Aidan: “Mommy is a big boy.”

Gwen: “No Aidan Mommy is a girl.”

Aidan: “No Mommy isn’t a girl.”

Anthony: “Mommy is a woman.”

Aidan: “No, Mommy is not a woman.”

Anthony and Gwen: “Yes Mommy is a woman.”

Aidan: “Mommy has a gina (as in vagina) and Aidan has a penis and Daddy has a penis.”

Anthony turns his reddening face and tries not to laugh.

Gwen (also reddening) “I knew that would come back to bite me.”

At least he was saying it too loudly.

Woot!

I finally won a Kaboost!  I have been trying for months to win one and today I got  a comment from Angela of Seven Dogs and a Baby saying I had won.  Yeah!!  Thanks so much Angela.  She has lots of cool giveaways and reviews, so check her out.

As soon as the Kaboost is here I will let you know if it lives up to all the hype.  I know that Aidan will be happy to be able to sit at the table in a ” big” chair.
