earthly aid

 

i'm amazed at how God constantly ushers me into His fine tuned and well orchestrated dance.  He is ever-attentive to both the nuances and the cataclysmic in my life... and as i continually fall at His feet enamored by His great power and yet His remarkable carefulness in every story that unfolds i realize that nothing in our world is amiss... a mistake... All things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.  

ma day

poolside... this time at the 288 residence... men at work... fun in the sun... and permanently filled champagne glasses.  i could not... perhaps only minimally, complain.  indrani aka mrs mommy dearest on the other hand was in rare form.  barking at her own dog, shouting orders, and demanding more champagne poured by spouse throughout the day.  quite a site.  well at least by the time the male staff served up dinner one and all were well pleased; fresh guac to start, baked potatoes, brisket stew, lentil sauce, rice, garlic bread, grilled salmon, some other fish, and asparagus.  i'm not sure how all of that was supposed to go together, but it did!  to think i started my milk-it day with four types of homemade chef-quiches and ended the day passed out on the couch with snoozing babe.  i refuse to believe it gets any better than that.  so thank you men for all of your brilliant work... you pampered us directly into the lap of luxury!  special thanks impart to the one and only chef.  your efforts will not be a loss i assure you... father's day is rolling around and i'm saving a few tricks up my sleeve.

 

side note: i had time to brush my teeth that glorious day so you see it was a monumental success!

u gonna eat that?

making dick proud

curry wafting on the new year's breeze... a jaunt to the park behind my mom's... family... laughter and panting for breath.  it was a success... we danced and feasted and rang in the new year with dick and the raunchy gang... and once again mr. clark put me soundly to sleep before the champagne.

it was a sure success.

3eee Weee

FUN...

thanks to moose's all you can eat palou... omg... she out did herself!  that cake was pretty good too... a labor of countless delirious hours of love.  gabel had a blast... swimming, playin' a lil' ping pong, and i think even some Wii golf with his cousins.  i don't think he took a nap that whole weekend so he was coastin' on a serious OC high... cake wasted to the max.  so it was gabe's day on sat... mika's on sunday... and brennan's on memorial monday!  ...good-times overload.
