So . . . the weekend has come and gone. Gary was on call, so we spent Friday night and Sunday at "Chez Trauma". Luckily it was pretty quiet - no little ghosts and ghouls getting run down while looking for candy. And we got to watch both the Eagles-Ravens and Steelers-Patriots games. The Eagles managed another not-pretty win, and the Steelers defeated the heretofore undefeated Patriots. The Eagles are now 7-0 on the season and are playing the Steelers next week, so hopefully the Steelers will have used up all their mojo taking out the Pats.
[E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!!]
Tomorrow is Gary's birthday and I've been tormenting him with a pile of wrapped presents for the past week. I had to put them in the closet though, because Suki felt that they should be opened early. By her.
[Since, after all, everything belongs to a cat.]
It's actually quite a celebratory week. On Thursday, my parents will celebrate their
50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Huzzah! I don't think they're planning anything exotic - Mom would probably just like to have the house clean.
Yet another occasion to add to the week's list: Trollop Stephani will be celebrating a milestone birthday on Friday. A semi-important one. A birthday that begins with a "4" and ends with an "0". Gary and I are driving up to Ithaca to spend the weekend with her. We'll do a little touring in the Finger Lakes Wineries and cook up a gourmet dinner for her that night.
Steph was kind enough to send an amusing link: Weight Watchers Recipe Cards from 1974.
Oh MY. Here's an example:
