So, TechBooHusband decided to have a little fun tonight. Neither of us have kids with us or any deadlines looming, so he suggested we give each other 3 ingredients as a challenge to make a meal. I was game. We went to the grocery store, and then got on Skype with our webcams as we [...]
*Humor me and pretend that that plain vanilla “c” in “Français” in the subject heading is a cedilla. For my fellow language freaks/geeks, the html code for the cedilla is ç Here’s how TechBoo and I have decided we want to celebrate our 40th birthdays in 2011 (we were born exactly 2 weeks apart): So [...]
So, great minds think alike. For Mother’s Day, El Ex helped MiniMe and BabyGirl get me flowers and strawberries dipped in chocolate, 2 books that I can’t wait to read, and a white chocolate bar with almonds. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I don’t care for chocolate…except for Godiva and Lindt chocolate. And [...]

I had some baklava with my lunch at this Mediterranean place today. Baklava is all honey-yumminess, but mostly I love it because my Nay-Nay introduced me to it when I was a kid. Nay-Nay was always bringing the world to me in a white paper bag or covered styrofoam bowl. I wrote a tribute to [...]
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.
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 [...]
So tomorrow night, TechBoo and I get to celebrate another first together: Our first Chanukah party. What to bring?

Saturday night, the celebrating continues with a birthday slumber party [...]
