Monday Morning Coffee Corner :o)
24
Mon, 12-18-2006 - 1:45pm

thought I would never get here today!  Better late than never!   It's been a really hectic weekend and monday so far,,.  I just put two fish in the oven (dorade) , made the salad, cut the bread,,,, and thought I 'd come by and see how you all are doing..


for those who are new to the board, or would like to be (just give us a peep), this is our monday morning coffee corner, that actually runs all week, as the members pop in to say hi, and give us an update of what's up ....


My trip to vienna on Sat/Sun was wonderful,,,, and wonderfully tiring....  never done sooooo much packing in one day.....  we packed and heaved stuff out from 11 am til 1am , then watched a DVD to calm down,,, slept until  6am got up and packed again until it was time to go to the airport.   I really did not see Vienna at all, except at 8am when I arrived and ds took me downtown to have breakfast at Starbucks ... It was nice and we had a nice little chat,,, mother /son.....    tuesday is the big move for him  back to Munich, and I hope that he'll have all the rest of his electrical and computer, stereos, mixers, scanner, printers, laptop, 8 speakers, dvd' player, s cd's recorder, monitors, X box, etc etc... literally hundreds of cables, I had NO clue what or how to pack up that kind of stuff.  He has 200 DVD's, about that many music cd's, and accumulated  , 4 dress suits, 26 pairs of jeans, 24 pairs of shoes, 5 winter coats, 35 shirts, 12 neckties, 40 sweaters, and I don't need to go into fancy T shirts... and then there is the funriture,,, and couch, and he is an oil painter, so he has 5 giganitc paintings, his kitchen had a service for 12 silverware , and all the latest things and ingredients for japanese cooking..... need I go on....      (the poor college student).   We hired a moving van to get all the stuff back... plus what he's planning to stuff in his own car,,,,, (a 82" lcd TV, what all college student s need to get them through the night.... LOL)   I'm soooo happy he's coming of course... and PLEASE  SAY PRAYERS THAT IT DOES NOT SNOW IN GERMANY AND AUSTRIA TUESDAY;;;;;   I REALY NEED THAT:::


How are you guys doing....?  got the lights up on my XMAS tree and plan to decorate it tonight.... at which time I'l try to take a photo and post it... if it's pretty.... 


Well, gotta get the fish out of the oven,,,, talk to you later...... and if anyone see's PAT somewhere around iVillage, ,,,, let her know we miss her.       POST POST POST is the word of the day....  tootles!

Today is my Grandmother's 85th birthday. Im sitting heere with her baking holiday chocolate chip cookies. I got all the errands done for my mom this morning. I am so proud of myself. Now I am taking a break to write on here while I enjoy a snack of pomegranate seeds.
This weekend was a lot of fun. Saturday my parents, Aunt, uncle and I went to this Italian place in Georgetown. I had to be the DD, but it was nice to see my parents having a good time, laughing and smiling. I on the other hand had a great meal but am not used to eating so richly and ended up with an upset stomach.
Sunday was a blast. My family and my Uncle's daughter all went to Normandie Farms in Potomac Maryland for their French Brunch for Grandma's birthday. This is the first time that I have met my cousin. She is actually a step cousin but a cousin non the less since I am the only Grandchild on my Dad's side. She loves it there as is it about ten minutes from where she grew up. In the evening yesterday I wrapped some Birthday/Christmas gifts for my Grandma and my Aunt.
Tonight we are having a little birthday party for her and we are also having Christmas with my Aunt. Crab cakes and birthday cake this evening, followed by gifts and then we are watching the Devil Wears Prada. It really has been a great few days.
I hope you all had a great weekend and a great Monday. Tell me all about them!
