Happy Thanksgiving…

Let’s just say that today was full of good food (bad blood sugars…but it was worth it), lots of laughs, some Wii Bowling (of which I could easily become addicted), the usual ugly cry around the dining room table, and family craziness that makes me smile just thinking about it.
Bedtime is fast approaching…tomorrow is Black [...]

The downside of the holidays…

One word…packing. Getting everyone’s crap together while a sick (yes, every holiday must include a sick child) baby clings to your leg, her wired brother runs circles around the dining room table (which is just high enough to permanently indent Liv’s head), and two dogs incessantly whine because they think you are going to leave [...]

We’re Not the Only Ones

Apparently, someone else organized a South Euclid Bar Crawl. It was 3 years prior to ours, and even included the Golden Coins…it’s nice to see that some things never change (the Coins looked a lot more happening in his photos than it was on Saturday night, though). I think there is a need for an [...]

Timing is everything

My in-laws were in town yesterday for an appointment at the Clinic (my mother-in-law is doing great and got to catch up with a friend who had a bone-marrow transplant the same time she did…two, strong, inspiring survivors), so I took advantage of their help with the kids and went for a run in the [...]

The Details…

I know that I need to go into detail about our weekend, but I haven’t had time to sit and write anything worthwhile. So I’ll just list the places we frequented from Friday through Sunday:
The Garage Bar - We went for a friend’s happy hour party and were the only people in the bar. [...]

Neighborhood bar and grill (this ain’t no Applebees)…

Razzle Dazzle

This was one of the stops on our “unoffical” neighborhood bar crawl.
Let’s just say it involved complete disregard for the smoking ban, an american flag used as wallpaper, a tequila swigging bartender attempting to take home a girl that could have easily passed for his daughter (or granddaughter for that matter), [...]

Update

Home from the race and game…go Buckeyes! I’ve downed some Starbucks, now it’s time to shower and get ready for our night out in South Euclid. I’m too old for this…

Free

Just got back from handing the kids over to my mom for the weekend. Stay tuned for updates on our wild and crazy, kids-free extravaganza. Tonight is happy hour with a good friend we haven’t hung out with in forever, tomorrow is the Pigskin race, followed by tailgating for the OSU/Mich game, and an evening [...]

Better late than never…

I finally got to watch the episode where Cleveland’s own, Michael Symon, wins the title of “Iron Chef.” The secret ingredient…swordfish…not one of my favorites, but I’d love to dig into Michael’s clam, swordfish collar, chorizo combo. The master of meat won fighting a fish battle. He did us proud.
I have to admit that although [...]

A Day in the Life

My diabetes made certain that I was aware of it’s presence for World Diabetes Day today. I woke up to Kade screaming “mom” at 2:15 and had the familiar mouth full of cotton, Sahara desert thirst that signifies a sky-high blood sugar, but I didn’t want to test because I’m conserving my last bottle of [...]
