My Opinion Counts

We had an enjoyable weekend. We traveled to our son’s home to celebrate his birthday. I had made a yummy chocolate cake and brought it and candles. He had made the most delicious cheesecake dessert. Needless to say, we ate well. We shopped a bit and went to the movies. We saw Get Smart with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. It was pretty funny. Not rip roaring fall in the aisle funny but cute. I enjoyed it except I was freezing. I do not know why the theaters have to so loud and so cold. I needed my blankie.

You gals with youngins need to put a brick on their head and make them stay small. My son turned 23 over the weekend. We had a wonderful visit. We stayed at his apartment, which is lovely, and jotted around while we shopped here and there. Greg needed new shoes so I got to do my favorite thing, shop for shoes. Woo hoo! I got to rack up a few points on my DSW card. We ate cheese cake that Greg made and also had chocolate birthday cake that I brought from home. I hope we walked off all the calories. It was a great weekend.

Oh my goodness! I just visited my son’s blog where he has been talking about his upcoming wedding to Taryn. He has posted the funniest videos. He also has been looking at some unusual cake toppers. I think my husband and Taryn’s dad would like this cake topper. They both love to fish.

Check out Greg The Papa Bear to see how Greg and Taryn’s plans are coming along.

Excuse me while I brag a bit on my son. Greg was chosen to be a presenter at the annual convention for the National Communication Association in San Diego. It is a good thing that Greg did not take after his reserved mother and father. He loves to speak in front of crowds.

Greg had two panels chosen for presentation at the convention. The presenters at this conference are typically doctors and doctoral candidates. Greg is in a masters program. You can read about his presentations on his blog, Speakerg.

The house is so quiet. Hubby has fallen asleep in his chair and the dogs are snoring. Greg left after being home for almost a week. It is so sad when my kids have to leave. Greg lost his wallet and so we spent most of the day searching for it. We never did find it so now he will have to deal with credit card accounts and getting a new drivers license.

The dogs will not know what to think when it is time for bed this evening. They have been enjoying sleeping with Greg. Now it will be back to their own room because hubby and I cannot sleep with them in our bed. They snore too much!
