Typical...

(Okay, this blog post needs background music. Perfect.)

Since I love you all so much and wish you could share in a typical Friday night at Casa Piedra I thought I would recreate it on my blog. Did you cue the cheesy Spanish music? Good.

We all know that my husband could thrive on tapas alone so obviously that is our usual menu. Here is the spread:

So we'll eat and talk for hours and hours. We'll talk about work the past week, weekend plans, dreams of traveling, tapas (did I mention that my husband loves tapas?), politics, the weird dreams that I've been having, Dan's upcoming birthday and all of the funny things he's done on his birthday in the past.

When either the food is gone or one of us is about to burst we'll move to the living room to play a much too competitive game of dominoes. Dominoes usually lasts longer than we plan at our house because we're equally good (or bad) and we both want to keep playing over again until we win. Usually Louie ruins the game (he begs to cheat by seeing our dominoes so we put him on our lap and he mixes all of the dominoes up) and we call it a tie.

Now that we've digested a bit, it's time for something sweet. If it's just the two of us, I'll make smoothies or scoop some ice cream. If you were here, we'd probably have some kind of baked good to offer with tea.

Here is how I look tonight for Friday night tapas.

Yeah, 26/27 weeks and getting uncomfortable. So on top of that music you'll hear me complaining about leg cramps, foot cramps, and back pain.

Any takers?

12X

I changed my blog a bit in hopes that it would interest me again. My mind tends to constantly nag me about my to-do list so willingly adding another task (writing on my blog) to that list seems like a big bummer. They say it takes doing something 12 times for it to become a habit and I don't think you put habits on a to-do list. Maybe that will solve my blogging block. I'll give myself 1 month to blog 12 times...let's see if I can do it.

Total Snooze Fest

I know, I have the most boring blog in the world. And don't get your hopes up either because this post is going to be equally boring! Just a picture to share with you of my 25 week pregnant self while I try to get this blogging thing down again. I really don't like blogging but I'm going to force myself to do it anyway, sometimes it is good to do things that you don't like : )
