This has been an awesome weekend...
Yesterday, I lazed around the house and played video games and did laundry. It was relaxing. At some point though I fucked up and did something to get a nerve pinched right inside my right shoulder blade.... It hurt so freaking bad last night I barely slept and I almost threw up half a dozen times from the pain. When I couldn't bear it anymore I got up and took some ibuprofen and thankfully was able to catch a couple hours of sleep.
Today was great. Kristina and Miss Em came over before Keira's birthday party and we went and got coffee and talked. I love having someone I can talk to other than my husband, you know? Someone outside of... What she's outside of, I really don't know... But you meant what I knew (and yes I realize what I just said, don't be a Debbie Downer...). Back to the tale. After chatting and getting our coffee on, we went back to my house ('cause I forgot my camera) and then off to Heather's for Keira's second birthday party. It was great seeing everyone and all their sickeningly adorable children. Keira is great, Jordyn is adorable, Parker was funny, Emily was cute (as always), and Lola was so eager to help Keira unwrap presents! Keira had the cutest outfit on, and Parker had on the most adorable shirt. Jordyn reminded me of Amanda (they are only a couple weeks apart) since she is such a serene and happy baby. Emily is one of the most polite and well behaved four year olds I have EVER met. All of this gives me hope that when I do decide to have a child, there is a high likelihood he or she will be not as evil as my nephew was... LOL. Now I just need to upload all the pictures I took on Facebook. And yes, my shoulder still hurts, but I hope it will get better.
For dinner I made a pork roast in the slow cooker, with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy made from the roast's juices. It turned out perfect!
One of my goals for 2010 is to try new foods and recipes. A couple that we will be trying in the next month (mind you, these are all things I will be cooking at home, not take out.) are spinach tomato and artichoke pizza, mushroom spinach turnovers, and portabello stirfry. I also want to learn to more about wine and hopefully try going to a wine tasting or two.
Collin is home! Yay!

It was a fun day! Awesome to catch up with everyone. And thanks for the comments about Em...I get so frustrated with her sometimes and think that she needs more discipline because I don't think she is behaving, but she is a pretty good kid for the most part!
And some of the receipes...you must share!! They all sound so yummy!!!
