Friday night we took the boat with Pradeep down to Rival's at the Diplomat Hotel, on the boat. The weather was beautiful, Lil J was very well behaved and the food was yummy.
Saturday, I took Lil J to the pool while Big J power washed the balcony and patio. After we showered, we headed over to the hospital to visit PopPop. He was doing much better, behavior-wise, once Lil J showed up. Unfortunately, we had to see the Evil Sister and her family. The woman actually sent a text message to her own sister by accident, calling her a witch and when H confronted her, she didn't even apologize. Who's the witch here...
Saturday night we had tickets to the Marlin's game. They won and we got to see fireworks afterwords. Just seeing Lil J's face light up was all worth it.
Sunday we spent the day shopping for patio furniture. We thought we were going to buy a bistro set for the balcony but ended up with these awesome Adirondack chairs made out of recycled heavy duty polymer in a Key Lime Green and Caribbean Blue. They are sooo cute and I can't wait for the striped seat cushions to come in. Next we need a BBQ that actually works.
Monday I ran for 2 miles in under 30 minutes...go me! Last night I got no sleep so I don't know how well the run will go today. It may just be a brisk walk, or a trip to the mall, I guess we'll see in a few minutes.

Thursday Run
2.12 miles
walked 1 minute, ran 3 1/2
Tonight is the first meeting with my running team. I'm still wondering how I'm going to drag my ass out of bed at 5am on Saturdays. No wonder Big J is laughing at me.

Labor Day Weekend 2008
Our weekend started at Dolphin's stadium, new home of Miami Hurricane's football. Yes, it's sad that the Orange Bowl is gone and so are a lot of the traditions that went with it but now my seat has a back, the bathrooms look nicer than Sachs and Bloomingdales, it's air conditioned, there are HD jumbo screens so you can see the score and instant replays. Did I mention it's air conditioned and the bathrooms are awesome?!?!
We left Lil J with Julia on Thursday evening and then left for the airport on Friday at 5:30am for S & S's wedding in NJ. We only had to turn the car around twice to get the hotel info and invitations for dinner and all my jewelry and Big J's wedding ring. Friday we had lunch with Jeff's old friend from growing up and her husband and twin girls at Joe's in the Mall at Short Hills. After that, it was up to Oakland for a BBQ with the H family and their 3 kids. We had a great time and were sad we had to leave. Saturday, Big J and I took the train into NYC to be tourists. We hadn't been in the city in almost 3 years. We saw the WTC site, Wall Street, Battery Park, lunch in Chinatown, Little Italy and then back to Penn Station. The "rehearsal" dinner was at Calabria's in Livingston and dinner was yummy. Sunday morning we drove down to Marlboro to visit the R family and the twins. We had a yummy breakfast and played with the babies. Then it was back to the Hilton for me to get my hair done and for Big J to take a nap.
Good thing I stayed behind at the hotel with keys to everyone's rooms because I ran around like a maniac getting Tide to Go to remove a stain from the groom's tux shirt, moved iPods, checked on husbands, found contact lens drops, etc. We left for the wedding around 6:30pm and arrived at the Crystal Plaza. I saw a lot of S's friends that I hadn't seen in years and had a lot of fun. The ceremony was outside and I got to see Cantor Siet. Then we went inside for the party. I had to help lift the ladies on the chair during the Hora because it was a modern Orthodox wedding and for some reason, the men didn't find it necessary to help us. Women in evening gowns and high heels should not be lifting people in the air on a chair. It's just wrong.
Monday we woke up, packed, had brunch and headed to the airport. We got home before Lil J went to bed so we got to see him for a few minutes. More than anything, he wanted to see his doggy Rocky. He didn't miss mommy or daddy, just the damn dog. So now, Rocky is home from the Pompano Pet Lodge and Lil J will be thrilled.
Now, back to work.
