P is for passing

Today, W passed his most recent exam. He's on his way to becoming a . . . uh. . . .a. . . I'm not sure what he's going to do but it's better than what he's doing now. 

I think W will need to fill in the blanks for us. 

Yay for W!

What a time

W back again. A+C's wedding yesterday was great. The wedding party looked awesome especially the bride and groom, the food was great, the music was good and E and sister in law L made good use of the open bar. They were both feeling pretty fine before the wedding party even showed up at the reception.

Today was breakfast at my mom's and then a cookout at Uncle S's. Unfortunately C's family got a full force indoctrination into my family. Needless to say when we all get together the conversation gets loud and rowdy and no one is safe from a little good natured ribbing. A great time was had by all.

Both E and I got home tonight exhausted. Tomorrow will involve sleeping late and lounging in front of the TV.

Anyone else have a great time this weekend???

Wedding Eve

Tomorrow we are going to the wedding of W's cousin A and his future wife C. Hopefully W's back will feel better so we can dance. Yes, despite what he says, W likes to dance. He's a better dancer than me!

The wedding is in Marion, MA at four and I'm not sure what time we are leaving. I do know what I'm wearing for the wedding and the party the next day. That's very important and makes things easier while packing. 

Somewhat of a slight inconvenience is that someone is checking out our condo but we have to leave the key with the realtor. Neither one of us is too keen on that but would hate to miss an opportunity to show it.

Congrats to A and C and best wishes!

Aching back

This past weekend was another busy one. 

W had to work for the first time in 5 weeks on a  Saturday. So while he worked I cleaned for the open house and had a short run. I went to my friend U's house for a cookout in the evening. It was a lovely time. W stayed home and watched Push.

Sunday while W went golfing with his family, I went to R's house for pancakes then went home for a very unsuccessful open house. 

W totally put his back out of whack so he's on the Disabled List until further notice. 

#2

It has been announced that the radio station WBCN is now turning to talk radio. Now, I've never been a big fan of BCN, they play what I can best describe as canned rock. Not heavy or soft just your run of the mill, who's popular today music, even if it's no good.

The big question here and why I'm bringing this whole subject up is, who gets the coveted #2 spot on my radio presets? I'm telling you, WBCN has been in the #2 spot since 1993, in my first car. My radio is set to #1 - WAAF, #2 - WBCN, #3 - WFNX (my favorite) and so on. They are listed in numerical order down the dial and there's no stations that I listen to between #1 and #3. I hate having to go out of order but I think I'm going to have to. Either that or listen to easy listening. Nothing is wrong with that, I'm just not an easy listening kind of gal.

I have a few weeks to think of who will be number #2 but I'm thinking WERS is going to win.

Anyone have suggestions?

Photos from the Baptism

Here are some pictures from Sunday. Who's missing is my nephews N, A, and C. They were there, I just didn't get any pictures of them. I'm bummed because N got a really cool hair cut. I'll have to get one of him next time. Notice I only got the girls when they were caged in.

Enjoy!

Toilet pride

I was so happy that W did the toilet, I just couldn't write another blog for the week.

This past weekend was quite busy. Saturday we went to my Mom's to celebrate my cousin R's 40th birthday. A good time was had by all, especially when we had the ice cream cake. We stayed up late chit chatting and throwing back a few beers.

Sunday, W's Mom came up and then we took R out for breakfast. Afterwards we went to the Baptism of our nephews G and S. I'll post pictures later on. I'm on W's laptop right now and it takes to long to upload from here.

We showed the condo today. The real estate agent looked more interested than her client. At least we got a lot of compliments. For example, one we hear a lot is, "Wow, it's so clean". Good to see that they appreciate it. It makes me wonder how dirty the other condos are.

Plumbing

W back again. I actually stayed home from work today, wasn't feeling well this morning. This afternoon I felt a little better and decided to install the brand new low flow toilet. Our idiotic (E said told me no swearing on here) condo association gave us a whole 5 day notice that we needed low flow toilets or they would raise our condo fee for being out of regulation. Thanks for the loads of time.

A few hours , an extra trip to Home Depot, and a bunch of bad language later and we have a new toilet. Hopefully just in time to sell this place.

Anyone want to buy a brand new toilet, comes with in a 2 bedroom condo???

Happy 4th!

I can't believe it's Friday already. Tuesday we had 2 people scheduled to look at our place. Both cancelled. Our luck has to turn around soon. It's so frustrating. Plus, this weather isn't helping. I haven't run outside for about 3 weeks. ICK!

It's the Fourth of July this weekend. I have Friday off but W doesn't. Such a bummer. I have to go find a dress for the twins baptism. I'm hoping my friend R can join me. It's so much more fun when you have a companion.

For the 4th we are going to Marion to see W's Mom and have a cookout. We haven't been down there in a while so I'm looking forward to that. Supposedly it will be sunny on Sunday. If it is, anything we do, it will be outside.
