Today is Mom's birthday! I know that she doesn't really like the whole birthday thing, but she deserves to have people celebrate her day. She does so much for Meema and I that she is entitled to people reminding her how great she is. Her friend, Fred, planned a surprise birthday lunch for her today, but unfortunately, I can't participate since it's my first day back to work. Last night, though, we celebrated Mom and Aunt Banking Mogul's birthdays with a Ruth's run.
It was good to see the family...our evening started with a video conference with Baby E. He's getting so big and we are all so excited to see him when he makes his first visit to the west coast family. We are scheduled that weekend...it's Meema's (aka GGMa to Baby E) birthday and we are having a party plus family photos taken that weekend. After the video conference ended, we headed to Ruth's where Mom got chastised by Andy (our bartender) for hitting Meema. Apparently, they had a discussion and bet over whether Andy could make a Black Russian (he could), so Mom in her excitement, "hit" Meema in the arm. Andy told Mom that she should not behave like that. It was a funny start to dinner. As usual, the food was great and company was good also. Dinner ended with us all laughing at Uncle Banking Mogul rattling off statistics about women, second pregnancies and c-sections...it was a little frightening that he knew so much about this topic. He refused to listen to us and was certain of his Google results. Then, D and I headed home where we crashed very early...not sure if it was the pressure of going back to work, the glasses of wine kicking in or the end of vacation exhaustion.
Now, it's back to life as we know it. I still have lots of blogging to do, but we didn't touch our photos this weekend. My goal is to have them done by the end of the week...I have plans on Tuesday and Thursday, so this should be an attainable goal. Have a great day!
