Blog Stalking...Part 2

So I have been reading the MCK blog since I posted the last time...about three hours ago. How sad am I? It's like I can't stop! Brad and I have a Thanksgiving party to attend tonight at 6:30pm. I just looked down at the clock, 4:30pm, and thought "Oh no! Only two more hours of reading!" And I've only made it to September 2007! I am going to have to pull myself away!

Blog Stalking

As you can see from my last post, I'm reading the blog, My Charming Kids. I like to read a blog from the very beginning before I read any new posts, so I'm trying to catch up as quickly as I can. The only problem with that is that the writer of the blog posted 552 posts in 2007. That's more than one post a day! I spent about 2 hours last night reading and about 1 hour this morning. That's three hours people, and I am only to June 2007! So I'll be reading for several more hours I'm sure. So anyway, last night I was watching a video that she posted of her oldest child, I think he was 2 at the time, singing a song. It was so cute, I had to show it to Brad. The conversation went as follows:
Me: "Honey, look at how cute he is singing his song!"
Brad: "Who's kid is that?"
Me: "I don't know, but look at how cute he is!"
Brad: "You don't even know these people?"
Me: "Not technically, no. But I feel like I know them!"
Brad: "Where do they live?"
Me: "I don't know. Somewhere in the Midwest."
Brad: "Why are you reading about stuff that happened a year and a half ago?"
Me: "Because I like to read them from the beginning. You are missing the point."
Brad: "So you are reading a blog of someone you don't know...just for fun?...That's really weird."
Me: "You just don't understand!!!"
So this morning, I began to think, maybe I am weird. I know my sister blog-stalks, too. Maybe we are just weird like he says. Then I had lunch with one of my best friends today and she told me she blog-stalks, too! So I have officially come to the conclusion that blog-stalking is a female sport. Who knew?

Grey's Anatomy

My most favorite show!


Last night's episode was GREAT! First of all, what the heck is up with Izzie SLEEPING with Denny? I mean, seriously? He's a ghost! I can't figure out where the writers are trying to go with that story line. Is Izzie crazy or what? I just don't get it. And secondly, those INTERNS! That Sadie girl is crazy. Psycho crazy. Cutting her own appendectomy incision crazy! I am shocked that they all didn't get kicked off the program or arrested for that matter! And what is up with that army doctor and Christina? That's just a weird relationship....that I kind of like. And poor stupid George FINALLY realizing that Lexie is in love with him. About freakin time. And if Bailey quits doctoring because she is 'tired' I will just cry. She's the rock that's holding everyone together!

SO that's my Grey's rant for the week. Hope you enjoyed. And I found an awesome new blog. www.mycharmingkids.net I LOVE reading blogs when people document before, during and after a pregnancy and this blog does it twice! She also does all kind of things I am not used to but find very interesting: making all of her babyfood, being a stay-at-home mom, her kids are 3, 2, 1 and 2 weeks, lots of stuff! A very good read!

SO busy!

Sorry I have been slacking on blogging lately. I have been so so so busy at work and at home! But I promise I'm going to get back on track soon!

Kobe Japanese Steakhouse

Brad, Mom and I just got finished eating at Tuscaloosa's newest restaurant, Kobe. Mom and I had eaten at Kobe in Birmingham before and knew it was good. We love love LOVE some Japanese food, Benkei especially, so we had high expectations going in. When we walked in the door, my attention was immediately drawn to the huge pond/fountain thing. All of the decor was beautiful and very 'Japanese' looking. We were immediately seated in a back room. The restaurant is divided into several different rooms of two grills, making it easier to accommodate large parties. The atmosphere was great and very intimate, unlike any of the other Japanese restaurants around town. The soup was great, almost as good as Benkei. The salad on the other hand had really watery dressing. Yuck. We also ordered gyoza. They were pretty good, but not as good as Benkei's. Brad ordered chicken-tasted good. I ordered filet-pretty dang good. Mom ordered scallops-DELICIOUS! The best we have ever had! Their shrimp sauce wasn't that great, but they also gave everyone their own bowl of ginger sauce, which was yummy. The service was the best of any restaurant in town. My glass of Pepsi was never less than half empty. Overall, I give it 3.5 stars out of 5. Still no Benkei, but somewhere good to go if Benkei is closed!

A day at the farm

Sunday afternoon Brad, Mom, Doug, Katie, Ben and I all went down to my grandparents' farm. The boys were there to build two stair rails for my grandmother and the girls went to supervise. We all had a great time spending time with each other. We even built a fire to poke at! Here are some pics from the day:

Oh how I've waited for this day.

Definitely NOT pregnant. So I guess we will start trying in May. I'm sad, but I know it's for the better.

On a brighter note, I saw something this morning that completely made me feel better. Almost God's way of telling me it's ok, that He's in control. I was checking on a rental house this morning when I saw this:

It's a worm in the shape of a treble clef!!!! How cool is that?? I know, you think I'm weird, but that's awesome!! For those that don't know me personally, I LOVE music and love singing. In fact, I sing in my church choir and on the praise team. So to see a worm in the shape of a treble clef on a really bad day?? That's a pretty cool God thing, in my book.
