Weekend Recap

This weekend was crazy busy – but I had a blast.
We were invited to celebrate Kate’s birthday on Friday night. What was planned? Lots of drunken debauchery, of course! Jake and I had planned on dropping the kids off at my sister in law, Julias and heading to dinner. We were due at Jim and [...]

Ace Of Spades

Poker was a lot of fun.  I brought a bottle of Tattoo with me knowing that Jim had a horrible day and needed a little pick-me-up.  The group of us – Me, Jake, Jim, Beau, and Kate all downed a few shots.  I think total we each did something like 3 or 4 shots and [...]

Tidbits

…a very nice date with my sweet hubby at Hibachi Steak House in Norwood on Friday night.  They have the yummiest Japanese food!
…I hosted 28 tables in the Loser’s Lounge, breaking my own record of 25 tables at Friday’s Texas Hold’em Tournament.  A big thank you goes out to “my boys” - Dennis, Charlie, Eric, and of course, [...]

Weekend Update

I had a great time this weekend.  It was crazy busy.  And fun.  On Friday night Jake and I dropped the kids off for a sleepover at my moms.  Jake and I had went over to the club to help out with Bingo.  Normally I sell pull tabs but we were short-handed so I helped out cashiering.  I [...]

Weekend Update

Friday Night
Jake was out for the night. I took the time to relax with the boys. We made some pumpkin bread and some of their favorite Pasta Primavera. Then we watched “Bridge To Terabithia”. They went to bed a little on the late side and I watched some TV alone, gave myself a mini manicure and [...]

Date Night

Tonight I took Ryan to see Space Chimps at the Patriot Cinema in East Providence. For $8.50 we both got in to see the movie and we shared a kids meal (popcorn, drink, and Skittles). Amazing! What a great deal! That’s less than the price of a ticket to a first-run theatre. I gave Ryan the money [...]

Patriot Place

This weekend Jake and I took some time out to visit the new outdoor shopping area at Patriot Place since we were kidless. We got a tour of the new Cinema De Lux, visited the most amazing Victoria’s Secret, and had drinks and appetizers at the new CBS Scene overlooking the field.
That Cinema De Lux is [...]

It’s Just Fire And Water…

So my in-laws decided to keep the boys for a second night. I was a little hesitant because Jake and I have used a babysitter for five weeks in a row and I felt badly about it. But then my own mom reminded me that my in-laws will be leaving for Florida shortly and the opportunity [...]

Twenty Five

You’ve seen my past posts about Texas Hold’em. Last night was our latest game at my husband’s club. He volunteers in the kitchen running the window selling potential winners hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries. I run the Loser’s Lounge (or Second Chance Lounge – if you’re sensitive). I man “the list”: I take down [...]

I Think I’m Turning Japanese

Jake and I planned a date on Friday with our good friends Jim and Emily. They came over around 6:30 and we had a cocktail and gave them a tour of our house. On our way to the restaurant we took a drive through our hometown. The place where Jake and I grew up. We showed them [...]
