Settling In

We are getting into our "groove" here in VA! We had a really great weekend. We attended our first ever Richmond Spiders Football Game courtesy of Sammy and got to hang out in the corporate tent (how cool are we)? It was also about 99 degrees outside so we made it to halftime and then me, being a good parent took my way overheated son home.

Last night we also had dinner with Sammy and J and baby Maddie. Our mutual friend and former roommate Billy also was there since he and his wife Devon (with whom I also went to law school with) and their two children are relocating to Miami this week. The funny thing is Billy & Devon literally lived two buildings away from me in Bronxville too! So we are all making the change together.

Today was football and I am very happy with the results of Big Blue's Sunday game. Then again if they did not beat the Rams for goodness sakes, what the heck kind of season am I looking at here?

I also did some dreaded pants shopping for Preston. Not that I believe in this heat Preston will ever wear pants anytime soon, but I need time to hem them-I'm not hemming them, let's not get crazy-but I have to try them on again with his sneakers and pin them where the necessary whacking off the bottoms is to take place. I also am very into pants with elastic waists for him since I feel pants are too uncomfortable around the belly when he sits if they are cut too small in the waist. I personally am a big fan of elastic pants for myself but unfortunately I still am completely refusing "mom" jeans or elastic trousers. I'll just dream of sweats while at work.

For all you Facebookers-I may pull my profile for several reasons-one is I hate the new layout. I finally join and then they change it for Heavens knows what reason. Second someone sent me a message with a link to a video. Since I opened the message (which was not originally sent by one of my friends, but disguised as one), my profile sends the same message to others. This annoys me. I have no time for hacker scams on Facebook. Like I need to take my computer back that scary Geek Squad guy? I'll let you know-but I am staying out of it for a couple of days. If you get a message from me for a video, it's spam.

The only other complaint of the weekend are the price gouging whores at the pumps. I mean seriously I am paying almost what I paid for gas this summer. I mean the storm was devastating but we did RUN OUT of gas. The refineries went on like a mini vaca. Everyone needs to friggin relax. There was me on the Attorney General of Virginia's website to get the number to report each gas station within a five mile radius. Gas is a big sore subject with me. I tend to get quite heated.

And because Mel is not happy about her less than daily picture allotment, here are some recent pics of the dude.
