Greg's mom made it down after a long journey via Amtrak. She had some good stories to tell of course! Let's just say she saw lots of interesting things and got a free night in Chicago. :)
What have we been doing? eating silly! The Breakfast Club out on Tybee saturday morning along with feets in the ocean and some sight seeing. Saturday night at Huey's with some viewing along river street. Sunday morning, or rather brunch time we went somewhere new! J Christopher's. I had chocolate chip pancakes! Deeeeeelicious! And some more touring around...and of course the packer game! She and I only stayed until half-time and we went to wal-mart and then back to the house and waited for greg. That night we ordered Mellow Mushroom pizza and a calzone. It was grand!
Now she's been on her own for two days having a blast. A trolley tour yesterday and again today (day 2 is free and you can get on and off). Last night we went to Six Pence Pub for dinner. It was good, I had Pork Roast, but the Open Faced beef roast thingie is the best! Yum. Carol had Banger's & Mash last night, it was a fun experience!
That's about it for now! Carol leaves late wednesday night so two more suppers to go. We think we'll do crab legs and shrimp at home tomorrow night. Yum! tonight? Something by the grocery store. :)
Vistitor #3 if you only count people since we moved...visitor #6 if you count the 3 that helped us!
Back to work!

Packers & Names & Whatever Else
Dang Packers...another great lose by them. Start strong, get comfortable, then nothing...don't seal the deal. Who's fault is it? Offensive line. And a few receivers with some super glue on their hands wouldn't hurt either.
Names...well, I just received word on what one Miss Brittany Spears named her newborn son. Sutton Pierce Federline. Have fun with that everyone! I wonder if they'll call him Sutty too?
Whatever else...had a nice weekend...enjoyed the Packer game outside (you'll be jealous when it's December and we're doing that!) Saw a couple good bands...tried to watch Sister Hazel up in the park, but the opening act sucked so we left for awhile and came back, heard a bit of it and then gave up. They're alright, but wasn't in the mood for college soft rock.
Another week of work coming up! Greg's Mom comes on Friday morning. I'm coming to BD during Thanksgiving week. The neighbors are back from their summer excursion. That's about it! Have a good week!

Bestill my gossip mongoring eyes...
Something is going down in the park...I just know it! There's a HUGE tent set up along one of the sidewalks leading up to the fountain...not next to, but over. There was a classy white limo at "the mansion" (the swanky hotel by the park). But then I thought, no, who'd be here, everyone's up in Canada at the Toronto Film Festival, but then I thought, PERFECT! No paparazzi to bug them. Brilliant I must say. Soooo...maybe Greg will go for a walk with me later tonight to snoop. :) I keep forgetting to mention my link to all gossip... www.laineygossip.com She's funny and actually digs for the truth and doesn't blow smoke up your behind. And my other favorite, www.gofugyourself.com Love it.
We haven't been up to too much lately...we went to Jekyll Island Labor Day. It's a island about 90 miles south of here. Didn't do too much but ate at an awful place, SeaJay's. Yuck. I didn't know it was humanely possibly to f-up chicken fingers, but they did it! 2 thumbs up for that. It's a great place if you want to take a leisurely bike ride or hang out at the beach.
Last weekend we walked down to Jen's & Friends one night and laughed at the "culture" (that would be people.) It's a cute place, supposed to be a Martini bar I think, but they were playing football games. It was entertaining...and no smoking inside, yay! Friday night we tried a restaurant in the mall! Eegads! It was good tho. Texas Road House...we both had steak and were pleasantly surprised. Oh cripes, I just looked at the website and they're all over WI. East side of Madison coming in October.
Otherwise we've just been working. Boring! Oh wait NOOOOO!!! I forgot the best news since the return from vacation!!! The ding dong that I worked with quit!!! And I must say in the most fashionable way. First she called in the morning (this is wednesday after putting up with her for one painstaking day) and asked for the "boss"...he was busy, take a message? "Yeah...my, um, alarm, um, didn't go off, so um, I'll be there...okay?" alrighty! Then about a hour later (just after we were wondering what the heck was taking so long and how we usually get ready faster than a speeding bullet in that situation) she calls back...talks to the boss. "Yeah, I don't really want to come in, um, ever...I want to quit, but don't know what to um, say..." Boss says "that's good enough right there." Toodles. Things go so much smoother and normal now, it's amazing.
So that's my glorious story! Ahhh. I am a lot more tired tho...I have to work a lot harder at the copier machine. Haha! :)
Time to make dinner! Later buckaroos!

My trip
Alright, here's the skinny on my trip to California to meet the little man! (Sorry, no pics yet...for some reason my card reader is not working, I'll get them tomorrow somehow!)
Saturday (August 26th) Charles picked me up from the hospital and we went direct to the hospital. Saul had a doc appt Thursday before and he was immediately checked into the hospital for dehydration...lack of eating. Mom & Dad were there with Sara and Saul so it was a good little family reunion, luckily the rooms are fairly good sized! So I met the little guy, and he's little and cute and cuddly and adorable! Dad doesn't look like he just had a quadruple bypass either by the way. We had a late lunch, Charles stayed with Tarzan and the rest of us went to The Elephant Bar...A jungle place...good food and reasonable prices (not Cali sky high!) That night Mom and Dad stayed at the hospital so Sara could try and get a good night's sleep.
Sunday was more hospital time...I went home with Mom & Dad so they could freshen up...on the way back we stopped at a mall (sunglasses and sympathy cards, my 2nd cousin passed away from a bad heart.) A few friends of S&C's came by and we went to the Circus Buffet...a Chinese place...but no crab rangoons! Back to hospital for awhile then home. So while Tarzan is in the hospital and for the future, he has to get at least 2 oz. of food in him, either by mouth/bottle or down the nose with a NG tube. They put the tube in sunday afternoon and it has been in ever since...you'll see pictures. He has also had numerous tests which he passed with flying colors! So Sunday night we went to the house and I whipped up a batch of cookie dough to make in the morning.
Monday morning I baked cookies and then off to the hospital! Sara was excited for those cookies! So were a few of the nurses...haha! Today Tarzan had a MRI which went fine...during that time, me, M&D went to Best Buy & Expo center (Home Depot for the affluent class or nothing better to spend money on then a $600 shower head.) We had a late lunch at Subway and back to the hospital! M&D decided to stay the night again so Sara could get some sleep, or at least try. Sara and I stayed while everyone went home to pack up and he got a bath and I held him under a heat lamp for awhile...did it get chilly when the lamp went off! (They keep him wrapped up tight and warm so he doesn't burn too many calories!) M&D came back, Sara and I went home...Charles ordered pizza, so we had pizza, beer and watched Benchwarmers.
Tuesday...off to the hospital! Hung out for awhile then went with M&D and had Goodies Good Eats for lunch...it was good. Then we went home, they freshened up and we left Dad to get some rest. Mom and I went to Kohl's (glorious new store!) and Santana Row. Of course we found some stuff! Not much tho. But a cute shirt for Sara! Then we went to the hospital and eventually me and mom went home.
Wednesday: guess where? Hospital! But there is an end in sight! He comes home tomorrow! And when we got there, he ate a whole bottle himself! He's been more awake and alert the past few days, he has such big eyes! Teehee! Me, mom and dad went and had lunch at Flames...MmMmm! Mom decided to stay for another week and send Dad home to fend for himself. Sara said it was the 8lb rule...whoever's 8lbs or under needs her assistance, so Tarzan won. Weds nite me, Dad, Sara, and Charles went over to Dale and Joan's for a fabulous fish fiesta! Dale and a group go to Mexico fishing every year and this year they brought back 500lbs of filleted fish. That's a lot of fish. (Dale and Joan are the ones who organized the not-wedding reception party for S&C back in April. They were also on Iron Chef!)
Thursday: Dad went home and Tarzan went home! Before Tarzan went home tho he had to stop at the endocrinologist...Mom and I grabbed a quick Subway lunch before that, dropped them off and then went home with the milk. We came home, yay! Mom and I ran a couple errands and she made macaroni and cheese for supper! It was so nice to hang out all together at home and watch Tarzan in his vibrating chair. :)
Friday: Another day at home. There were a couple walks...a home health nurse came by...I made more cookies...Mom and I did some running around...Charles made Seafood Enchiladas for supper and his OMJ rice. Yummers! Tarzan will eat most of his food during the afternoon hours, but he's a brat at night! I think he'd sleep through the night if you let him!
Saturday...ho hum, the day I left. Nothing exciting here...fed the baby, cuddled, got ready and went to the airport to spend a glorious zillion hours in the air and in the stinky airports. Got back here about 11, Greg came and got me and home we went!
