Five For Friday

For whatever reason, my kids don’t get invited to a lot of birthday parties.  When my niece was Goose’s age, she had a party almost every weekend.  Or so it seemed.  I was kind of worried once Goose started school that that would be the case with us.  For the past two school years, he has been invited to three parties each year.  Very manageable.  This weekend, the kids have been invited to three parties.  None of which Lance and I can take them to because we will be gone.  Lance wants to know how we got so lucky.   Since birthdays don’t change, I wonder if I will be getting trips each year this weekend.

No David’s grudge against the gym continues.  This morning, he told me he would rather get a shot and go to Mass than go to the gym.  When neither were an option, he screamed louder than normal.  The ladies at the gym might be getting a bit tired of this routine.

My mom just arrived to take care of the kids.  The amount of luggage she brought implies a much longer stay than is required of her.  It makes me think of my friend Shea who just built a game room.  She only put in a half bath.  That way it was clear that nobody could move in with them.

Season 4 of Breaking Bad is starting soon.  Despite promising Lance I would start watching this show, I haven’t made it past the third episode.  Can I just skip the first three seasons and start with this one?

Last week we took my dad to Samba Grille for dinner.  I highly recommend this restaurant.  Everyone enjoyed their meal quite a bit.  They have a lunch menu that I plan on trying very soon.  It would be perfect for date night, dinner with friends, JUST GO.  I so want this place to make it!

  1. From DV:

    There are no short cuts on Breaking Bad. There just isn’t and you’ll be happy you didn’t take if you catch up.

    I hope Samba makes it because it turns out some terrific food.

  2. From Shea:

    Breaking Bad is awful. I have a huge tolerance for awful if there’s going to be a payoff at the end. I watched the first couple of episodes with Clint, and hated them. He started Season 2 last night, and as far as I can tell, it’s more of the same awfulness. AWFUL!!!

    Big Love on the other hand. . . . thanks so much for encouraging me to go back and watch that one!!

  3. From Nicole:

    I took your advice and am on episode 6. I should be done with season 1 by tomorrow. I think I can make it now that I’ve made it past the hurdle.
    I feel like Superwoman now. Three movies and Breaking Bad. Not a bad weekend for me.

    Totally agree with you on Samba. That was a great recommendation.

  4. From Nicole:

    Okay, I finally made it past the first few episodes and like it a lot. Not Big Love like, not Mad Men like, but I do like it. And now I’ve kept my one New Years resolution.
