so friday was my birthday (though i share it with some great folks including ms. alana and my aunt erin)

Bill and I went out to dinner at bistro 110 on friday. Saturday we went to the burbs and then had some neighbors over in the evening. Sunday we went out with neil rj and frank for brunch to celebrate neil'ss and my birthdays. Brunch was good and i am sure jimmy wang will have pics of his "raw" tuna sandwich.

this week is a short week for me i leave straight from work on thursday to visit ms billick. I am very excited about this trip... both to see carolyn and to get out of this place for a day.

Wow

I have been so impressed by the number and generosity of the donations so war to this walk. More importantly I am learning just how many lives have been effected by this disease. I just wish I could do more.

Just so it isn't buried I have put the link to our team page at the top of the blog.

Breast Cancer walk

Bill and I are walking this year in an ACS walk for breast cancer about a month from now. If you would like to make a donation you can visit our team website . (if you want to donate to me and help me beat Bill you can go directly to my website)

Tuesday afternoon: mimicing Frank edition

Well, we're back from our whirl-wind visit to Cleveland. The wedding itself was a beautiful ceremony outside, dinner was fabulous (i think that food was better than most mid to upper priced restaurants in Chicago, and it was for 100+ people) and the dancing was fun... BUT it was very hot and some people had too much to drink and ruined the night for others. I guess when you get a large group of party people together these things just happen.

It was great to see the kids and my aunties. It was nice to chat with mimi and giddo after the party. And it was good to have breakfast with dad... who makes a mean banana cream pie.

What about your mother, you ask? Well we saw each other, but as she is visiting in 2 days, we didn't spend much time catching up.

I have a few good pics from the wedding and might post some later when i have our computer.

Up to bat this week: more work on our family room, mom's visit, and maybe finally getting my house back to its normal chaos instead of the heightened version that's been going on now for 3 weeks.

And, not that I would forget it ever, but the events of 6 years ago today have flashed through my mind throughout today. Let's leave it at that.

getting done getting going

well we have primed and painted the walls and ceiling of my family room. i have painted the closet doors and i have prepped the upper moulding for painting.... we bought the stuff for the closet ( love me some container store on sale)

this weekend we travel and go back to Cleveland for a wedding. it will be nice to see family, especially some cousins that i haven't seen since last year.

ok folks i will probably blog next week at some point, hopefully telling you that our house is habitable once again, even if the room isn't done.

cenipedes spiders and mice!

i hate rehabbing rooms.

ps please come visit us!!!!!
