Davin and Dora are Having a Girl!

We were invited to a co-ed baby shower for an old-coworker-now-friend of Scott.

Davin and I worked for a few years at Geek Squad. Now we love to hang with him and his wife, Dora, and usually our other Geek Squad compadre Danny.

When we first arrived we played a break the ice game where we had to guess what name was pinned to our backs.

I think I was Barrack Obama. People were saying things like the worst and the best president. I couldn't figure it out, but now it makes so much sense.

Meadow was a hit right away.

We took a tour of the home with the owner. It's right on North Commons and the had the most amazing deco bathroom. The whole thing was tiled in black marble. There are some really awesome homes on our side of Minneapolis.

We ate lots of good food.

I loved the chicken tenders.

People kept offering to take Meadow off our hands. How could we say no?

She loves all the attention anyway.

I could go for one of these right now.

These were damn good.

I made Davin take a big bite for the camera. He's a good sport.

Their shower was also a gender reveal. I had guessed a girl before the party. Looks like Meadow will have another friend.

It's great that so many of our friends and family have had babies this year. I can't wait to meet Davin and Dora's little one.

Dora and her sister prepped diapers for guess the chocolate poo. Between taking pictures, I ate more chicken strips. This makes me want to make our take on hot and crunchy chicken cones (use rice krispies instead of corn flakes and add a tablespoon of paprika).

I had a lot of fun meeting new people. I hope they didn't get annoyed by all my picture taking. It's kind of my thing.

Meadow found a new best friend for the afternoon.

I skipped on guess the poo, but Brooke did pretty well.

I got all but one right.

Presents were opened after the chocolate-diaper game.

Then we played baby bingo based on what presents she opened. I won this round.

We all tried to cheat our way to bingo by guessing stuff they already got. Brooke had an unfair advantage of being a new mom. She remembers these things better than me.

Over the River & Through the Woods to Grandmothers House We Clean

My mom had wanted us to come down to my grandparents home to clean for months. Unfortunately a busy summer had kept us away. We finally made it a week after our honeymoon ended. We slept at my parents home in Cudahy before heading down to Racine. We got home from our trip on Tuesday and left for Milwaukee on Thursday. It was almost like an extended vacation. Before leaving the cities we stopped and had dinner at Foxy Falafel. It was pretty good and I like that she uses sprouted chickpeas. I never knew my grandparents on Poppyseed Tuska's side so Grandma and Grandpa Wojcik were a special part of my life. They both passed away last year after living nearly 90 wonderful years. Their home was always a wonderfully warm and inviting place. The perfect place to spend your Christmas Eve in front of a fire place. Since it's going to be sold, Brooke and I took on the massive task of organizing and cleaning the home. When Scott told me h...

7 Days Down, 158 Days To Go

Umm, well I ended up having a longer Christmas break than I had originally thought. It went really well until the last few days. I had dreaded this day since we met, I always knew it was going to come, but yet I ignored that it would ever happen. Saying goodbye to Scott was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I've had to do that so many times last year and I still have to do it. If I can get through January and February and I think I will be ok, or so I keep telling myself. I took out a second loan and it got denied, so I'm still as poor as ever until I can figure out what I'm going to do. I'm so glad school starts next week, being alone all day is very hard. I left Scott Thursday night and headed back to Little Chute, which I was glad I did. We're having some family issues concerning my dad's business and the death of his friend. It tears me up to see him like this. I wish I could've stayed home longer. I pretty much did, I left home early Sunday mor...

A Few Thoughts to Pass the Time

I'm sitting at the library, my new hang out besides random coffee shops. Class isn't for another 2 hours and I've finished all my homework. There's a guy running across holding his pants up and rush hour is just setting in. I never realized how weird Minnesotians actually are until I saw American Idol last night. They were doing auditions in Minneapolis, which Randy liked to call Minnehopeless. I thought it was just the culinary students that we're weird at my school, but no it's the whole state. The majority of the people that I know here are not actually from Minnesota, only one that truely is seems ok to me. Maybe I'm just like them but I don't want to admit it. School is alright. It keeps me busy. I like that some classes only have 10 students. Everyone in my Nutrition class eats healthy and reads the ingredient list but me. At least I get to take home everything I make in my baking class. Summer seems so far away. I need to find a place to live befo...
