In the mass consumtion department, we here at maison Tiar seem to have found ourselves in a frenzy of acquiring new stuff. A new laptop is ordered and coming soon, new carpet is ordered and also coming soon, a new bed is bought and coming just as soon as we can sell the old one and pick up the new (well, new to us...Macy's had a killer deal on floor models, half price!).
We went out last night for Valentine's Day, not a sweet romantic evening like you might expect, but with good friends and family. Johnny Rocket's for burgers and fries, then some good bowling, all at the Grand Sierra. Especially fun was watching the crowd both entering and later exiting the Jamie Foxx concert, and the almost-gang fight that tried in vain to erupt. Good times. The romantic stuff came earlier when I got this nice delivery of flowers at work, from my dear Morgan and baby Lola:
And the good times continued late into the night when dear Lola woke up with some kind of stomach bug, vomitus eruptus several times throughout the night, and continuing today. She seems cheerful enough, but geez, poor thing has been through pinkeye, runny nose/cough stuff, and now this. <Shaking fist>Let her get better!</shaking fist>
Possibly setting a record for recent years, I actually "went out" two nights in a row this week. The night before last, Turi and I decided to get together for a few beers and a bite. Jessica totally hooked us up at the new Foley's, and a good time was had by all.
And speaking of hanging out with the boys, looks like the Westfalia's first trip of the season will come at the end of April, David, Bart, Ryan and I planning to truck on up to Chico for a visit to this tattoo-n-barber shop for a good manly "shave and a haircut", maybe a visit to Sierra Nevada, and an overnight camp at Lake Oroville. Should be fun.
One last announcement, it sounds like Lola and #2 are going to have the luxury of two more grandparents in the area if plans hold true. Yep, Nana and Pepe Tiar have declared their intention to move back stateside at some point, probably late 2008. Hurray!
Well, I think that about wraps things up for now. Until next time...
...the key words being "if plans hold true"... Soo...if you want to visit this beautiful part of the world, best make your reservations now! We're filling up fast! There will be a lot of regret in leaving the south of France, some of it having to do with wonderful food and wine, it's true, but the pleasure of being part of our family's life will certainly outweigh that!
