On Sunday Finn and I were invited over for lunch and some playtime with Ronan and Christa. Ronan is Finn’s MMO bff. They have been playing together since they were 14 months old when they were in the infant class together. I’ve noticed there is an easy cohesiveness with Finn and his classmates, I mean, they’ve been playing together since they were able to play! Finn and his friends are just too cute.
Once again, after a very busy week, I’ve fallen behind on blogging. Here’s the recap:
Sunday was gorgeous in Raleigh. We had lunch al fresco and everyone enjoyed soaking up the sun. I ran 3 miles on the NCMA greenway with Jen C. I felt great after this run and spending time outside on Sunday. Later we joined the C.’s at their house for pizza and fun.
Monday was not a good day. BUT Finn & I had lunch at Dos Taquitos Centro – mmmMMM! Then a haircut with Joey.
Wednesday morning it snowed – AGAIN! – but was completely gone by noon. That evening we had dinner and a visit with Great Grandma Irene.
I am reading this book – given to me by my PT employee who watches my daily meltdowns. It is quite helpful!! But most of all I enjoy finding 15 mins in the morning or before bed to read.
Saturday Lisa came to visit, so we went out to Big Boss with Dave and Beth. Finn really enjoyed having Lisa here and is dying to go visit her!
A couple of months ago we received an email about a special deal on the 3-course option at Fearrington. Which we love. Since I still had my Christmas cash, I decided a dinner was what I wanted to spend it on. We invited Jen & Tom and Christa & Yale. All month then all week then all day I was looking forward to it. It was wonderful to get all dressed up with someplace to go! And for just one night to live the fantasy life I lead in my head. Christa & Yale picked us up and we drove the 45+ minutes out toward Pittsboro. We arrived only a little bit late, and warmed up by the fire in the parlor with a glass of wine. Then we were seated and the food and wine and conversation flowed. I do have to admit I was not as in love with my meal as I have been before, and in the end we ended up spending far more than planned. This combined with too much wine and staying up too late has caused some distress in the light of day. I feel like Cinderella the morning after. But the evening was wonderful, and even though we were there for hours, it ended too soon. I think I will start daydreaming about our next visit. :)

It was a good Valentine’s in our house. Lots of QT all day, a suprise bouquet of tulips, love bug truffles for my love bugs, picking up around the house as a group, a casual lunch out, lots of niceties to each other, and ended with massages in the middle of our living room. We are lucky to know the strong-handed & talented Sarah! (ps – looking for a masseuse who makes house calls? Let me know!) Almost as nice, was my pre-me-time relaxing while WIll was getting his massage. I had a glass of champagne and read and watched the Millionaire Matchmaker on my laptop, surrounded by a sleeping Emma and Frenchie. One downer, I felt totally nauseous for about 30 minutes soon after my massage was over. I really thought I was going to be sick!! Sarah said it’s your body releasing toxins. I must have had a lot!! Anyway, a very nice day!
Tim & Julia’s annual Valentine Chili fest. Finn had a ball.
