Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Spending some one-on-one time today and tomorrow with Mini-Me, starting wtih breakfast at our favorite crepes place.  Then errands, then basketball practice, then…who knows?  A day, a treasure.

Tip #570: Making Long-Distance Love Work: Get Snowed In

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Well, so much for the weekend getaway with TechBoo.  We had to reschedule that due to a forecast of up to 2 feet (yes, feet) of snow here in the DMV area.  But thankfully, my flight arrived before Southwest (the official airline of our relationship) stopped operation in preparation for the impending snow dump. TechBoo [...]

‘Tis the season: A Chanukah Party, a Slumber Party, and Psychology Today

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

So tomorrow night, TechBoo and I get to celebrate another first together: Our first Chanukah party.  What to bring? I’m leaning towards a bottle of wine and the jelly doughnuts (which, coincidentally, will come from the new kosher Dunkin’ Donuts that recently opened up nearby). Saturday night, the celebrating continues with a birthday slumber party [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Suffice it to say that for Techboo and me, our dance card is full between now and the new year. After Thanksgiving (which we are hosting), we’ve already RSVPed for 2 holiday parties and a Chanukah party. I’m doing a Kwanzaa presentation in BabyGirl’s kindergarten class, complete with cornbread baking activity (Jiffy!). Plus, there’s Mini-Me’s [...]

Babysitters and BlogTalk and Birthdays and Biscuits…Oh, My!

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

As usual, it’s a multi-tasking fest here in Mamalicious-land. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, I’m feeling good today. It helps that my morning with Mini-Me and BabyGirl was uneventful. They made it to the bus stop (which means I didn’t have to drive!), and they had biscuits for breakfast, which is always a sign of [...]

In which TechBoo ogles someone else…and actually lives to tell the tale.

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

In his defense, TechBoo now says he was sick with a cold and therefore light-headed when he committed this egregious error.  But still. So, it’s New Year’s Eve, and we’re at the grocery store, mainly to get chicken noodle soup, orange juice and cough drops for the aforementioned cold.  While we’re there, I also pick [...]
