OK, so, I know I haven’t blogged in a while. It’s really a long (boring) story, mostly involving the fact that my house was (still is) a disaster and it needed to not be. To give you an idea, we haven’t had furniture in our family room for the past 5 days…but that’s a story for tomorrow…
To start with, Lisa had her baby on Saturday. I was originally the designated baby sitter for Henry, but then I became the designated driver-to-the-hospital for Lisa. Which was cool, because I got a sneak preview of the whole admissions process (boy, do they ask a lot of questions!) and where to go – and how to get to the hospital in the first place – for my turn in October.
Jenny had a second wedding reception Saturday evening at a local art gallery, which was a fun little party. (Mmm. Candy sushi…) Unfortunately, by that time of the evening, my feet hurt too much to take advantage of the art gallery tour.
We also bought a car on Saturday. In honor of Sammy’s birthday, we got a blue car. Actually, it’s a 2005 Subaru Outback wagon, and it’s atlantic blue. (And it’s my very first new car!) We just picked it up tonight, and if I hadn’t been so busy driving it around, I may have gotten home enough before dark to take a picture. Oh, well. You can go here to see it on Subaru’s site. This car is replacing our old Ford Escort wagon, which we’ve only had for 2 1/2 years. It needed lots of work, and it’s a ’97, and, well, we figured we needed a larger family car that we could trust for long haul trips. (Hear that, baby? We bought you a car already!) Anyway. Bye, little blue (green) wagon, we’ll miss you. Sort of. Well, the new car is much nicer, so we probably won’t miss you too long…
Congrats on your new car :)
