**Muggy Tuesday

well, back to work after a nice long weekend. it is muggy and somewhat overcast today. and yes, another reminder that i havent mowed the front lawn in over a week! we are supposed to get t-storms today and think i may get outta here soon to tackle that.

saturday was a nice day. went with "meggy" to double dutch in hampden then got a bite a golden west cafe. good food and we got there at a good time because it starts to get packed at 630...

went to a "luau" wedding reception saturday night. lots of fun. plenty of people w/tropical drinks, laterns, tiki torches and of course music! there was also a UFC fight on as well...a little violent for my taste but 15-20 people were into it and watched for a while.

sunday i was lucky enough to be invited to 2 BBQ's. one in ellicott city and the other in columbia. they are good friends with "meggy's" bro and sis n law. they have an amazing place with a pool and are super nice to boot! the kids were having a blast in the pool and the adults enjoyed some sun, beer and beef! maybe not necessarily in that order...

after that we headed to "mandingo's" condo for a smaller get together. i hadn't seen her since xmas maybe and met her boyfriend and the dogs. "irongirl" and hubby were there with baby nina (10 days old). she is beautiful and very little, the perfect lady who slept the entire time...can't expect too much at that age though.

yesterday was another productive day. caps' came to get me around 1 and we hit up macy's home as well as bed, bath & beyond and crate and barrel. he was in a purchasing frenzy for his new place in towson that he will be moving into in about 2 weeks. he got some pillows and new silverware but didn't have any luck finding a new bed.

we then went to his sister and bro n law's place for dinner in federal hill. i am never disappointed! crab soup, mac n cheese, veggie lasagna, tomato n mozzarella with green beans and short ribs for the "meat-a-tarians"!
