verra boring, catch up....

I'm terrible at updating this blog.

Let's see, let's see... where to begin?

Thursday night was fairly uneventful... it consisted of Christopher and I being lazy on the couch, watching John Adams (the HBO mini-series, and Chris's Father's Day gift). It's what he wanted. Verra different from my Dave Matthew's tickets, for Mother's Day. It's funny, that kinda shows just HOW different we ARE. Hey, opposites' attract, right? Anyhow, we did a little running around on Friday morning, hit the rose garden, dabbled our toes in Four Mile Run, stopped into Fair Oaks where I enjoyed my religious staple. A quad venti vanilla latte.
On Friday evening, Devon and her new beau Chris (who, drives a pick-up truck, and contracts for the gov't.... how weird is THAT?!) came over. I am a big fan. I think. We only spent a few hours with them, well... six. But, he liked my cooking, or at least pretended to like the cooking, and was very polite and seems to really be into Devon. All in all, he gets the stamp of approval from (my) Chris and I. She can keep him.
Saturday was spent all over the place. We stopped into Chris' Dad's house, since we weren't going to be seeing him on Sunday. The kids frolicked in the back yard, we perused the pictures of Clif and Evelyn's trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic... and of course, got the recipie for Chris' FAVORITE homemade burritos. After leaving Dad's we drove down to Colonial Beach for a "Welcome to Summer" party that a collegue of Chris's was throwing for kids/grand-kids. There were all in all about 15 kids there, and they were having a blast. Between water baloons, pinatas, luau decorations, etc. it was GREAT. They knocked out in the car about 5 minutes after we left the parking lot. We spent the evening, doing nothing. I believe we crawled into bed around 8. Can you believe that on a Saturday? It was worth it, I promise.
Sunday morning... of course being Chris' day, we made him his favorite breakfast (scrambled eggs, toast, and country ham). We gave him his second present, which consisted of candy, army guys, red bull, and cookies (all his favs) that the kids picked out. We played army guys, and just relaxed. And, of course, I utilized the recipie for the burritos which were a hit.
ALL in ALL, it was good wholesome, family fun. I love it. I'm turning into a cheese dick. :)

Tonight, Rhys, Alan, and Seve are gracing us with their presence for dinner/drinks. Catch up time, since I haven't seen my boys since I left work. The kids will be stoked to see them, as well.
Tomorrow, Grandma, Merren, Gina, Kingsley, Connor, and Marleigh and I will be spending the day poolside, with a whole lot of nothing to do except Merren's party in the evening. Should be lovely.

This whole not working this, is amazing.


It's hilarious... a good friend of mine, has this amazing blog in which she shares all of the worldwind things that she does around town... Old Town and DC. She's pretty fabulous, and sometimes I'm secrelty jealous of all these exciting events she attends. However, I've decided my blog is just like hers... however, it's all the mundane family stuff that we do. HAHAHA... we have www.anotsocapitolidea.com (events, charity gigs, political functions, fun, extrodinare) and then we have www.abartendersword.blogspot.com (Chris, Shannon, Connor, and Marleigh Jones.... yep. That's it. :))
