It’s been birthday central around here – my sister-in-law celebrated her 30th on the 16th; my brother and my friend’s birthdays were/are on the 20th; and my belle-mere, celebrates her birthday today!
For my brother’s birthday we had a nice quiet dinner at Miss Millie’s in Noe Valley.
Sarah, on the other hand, celebrated her big 4-0 with the girls (me, included) at Teatro Zinzanni. It was wacky and wild fun and the food wasn’t too bad, either. If you ever have a chance, you should check it out!
So, after that weekend with the Mini, we finally decided that it’s not for us. It’s a super fun car to drive, but the sport suspension doesn’t really make things any better. I guess when you get older, comfort becomes more and more important to you. We felt every little bump on the road. We’re still unsure what car to buy, so the Golf has been outfitted with new tires to keep it going until we make a decision.
We finally (!) bought new light fixtures for the foyer, hall and master bedroom – it’s much brighter now! Only to discover that the master bedroom was once painted pink! Yah, we’ll be touching that up this weekend!
Adding to his home entertainment collection, Sylvain purchased a Tivo! At first, I was a bit skeptical – why do we really need one? It still doesn’t allow me to watch another channel when recording, etc. It wasn’t until last week that I was really thankful for it. Wednesday nights I have class from 6.00p to 8.30p. And we all know that Lost is on Wednesdays from 8 – 9p. Thankfully, Tivo records the episodes for me and I can watch them whenever. (I’m home in plenty of time for Alias, though.) And now that the Tivo is connected to Sylvain’s computer, we can play music and watch photo slide shows on our tv. Times like these I’m grateful that my husband is a gadget geek. I love you! ;o)
