Wow - a whole week has gone by

since I have posted. It flew by quickly....let's see what the Halfway House has been up to:

Friday night we went to Two Urban Licks for Midtown Restaurant week. Great atmosphere, a bit loud though. Food was pretty good, not spectacular as I had hoped. After dinner played cards til 3AM....We are definitely card playing fools...Happy to report my team won 2 games!

Saturday was FOOTBALL day. Went to the GA Tech game. Had a fun time, but had to take a nap post game. After nap, had a girls night at Wild Wings watching a friend's band perform. So, yes, another late night 2AM - that's me getting my groove on! Not sure why my arms look so big, they definitely are not that big. (these are the only 2 pictures of me from the weekend and I didn't even take them)

Sunday... Church (I'm teaching Sunday school), Harry's and Costco...we should be good to go on food for awhile! Cooked out with friends and watched I Love You, Man. Funny movie.

Monday - tennis for James, then tennis for me. Dinner with friends and early to bed to get ready for the week.

Any spare moment during the weekend was spent watching Tennis - YEA for the US Open!! There have been some interesting and not so interesting matches. Looking forward to the semifinals and final the rest of this week.

US OPEN

I've had the US Open on the past few days while working. Just finished watching GA native Melanie Oudin beat Elena Dementieva.....What a great match!!!

Lovin' some tennis right now!

Noah's Bday Weekend - Picture Post

These are in no particular order because I can't get them to move around. And they are kind of blurry - not sure why.

Going for his cake. He had already taken the Mickey candle from the center.

Me and the Birthday Boy prior to cake time

He likes to brush his teeth with an electric toothbrush...Let's be honest, I think he really like the vibration on the gums where the tooth is trying to pop through.

Uncle James feeding him Ice Cream....He definitely enjoyed that one! Not sure who doesn't like ice cream, though.

Just Playing around

Helping Uncle James fix Mommy's computer.

Say Cheese!

All ready for the car ride home. Mommy put him in his pjs so he could fall asleep in the car.

These deer were in the backyard at my MIL's house. They came up pretty close to the house.

James and the Birthday Boy

Who needs the presents, I like the paper. MMMM tastes good.

He did a good job ripping the paper, when he wasn't chewing on it.

Relaxing boat ride

Relaxing in the golf cart....Don't worry, I walked the first 9 and about half of the back 9....I am told that's close to 6 miles, with hills!

James swinging from the tee

Together in the cart.

So, now I am totally frightened by what will happen when we have children...I took over 100 pictures of our nephew and at least 8 movies....Baby overload!

People Magazine

Really People??? I really enjoy my subscription - Its my guilty pleasure - I love looking at the pictures and read the magazine cover to cover.....But if 1 more cover is dedicated to either Jon or Kate...I may just have to give you up....

Great Recipes and Stories

Head on over to A Place to Dwell

She just had a great cookbook giveaway (sorry, its over and I didn't win). But she is posting family recipes and stories. Great recipes over there, including a couple from me (I just sent them to her, so it may be a minute).

ENJOY!

DG OTS

The picture above is with the anchor in front of EO. Below is the stain glass window in the stairwell at EO. (Sorry for the confusing pics, but blogger and my MAC are not getting along today.)




This is Nikki - She's my Big Sis and a Great Friend!



I am sure I have mentioned on here that I am a Delta Gamma. Not sure I mentioned that I am still active in serving the Fraternity. I recently became a RCS - regional chapter advisor of sorts - I have 6 schools.

Anyway, during my busy, busy June/July, I made a trip to Columbus, OH for a couple days of training. Very fun time meeting new and seeing old DG friends. Above are some pictures.
Thanks blogger for not letting me move them around.

A picture

to tie you over....

(UPDATE: This is my nephew - James's sister's son....)

Forgot to Mention - New MAC

I forgot to tell you all about the wonderful thing my husband bought me this month....

YEP A NEW MAC! (isn't he sweet!?!?)

I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and am still getting used to it. But it is 1000Xs better than the Dell I was using. It may take awhile to get totally used to it though since my work computer is a PC (Dell - its sucks too). I have Office for Mac, so I just need to learn the shortcuts and other things I got used to on the PC.

But I am so happy to be done with my Dell...seriously, it would just shut down on me, or lock up, it was really not very useful. I told the guy at the Apple Store I was going to throw it out the window....he said if I was serious to let him know because he wanted a picture...I'm still thinking about it...it doesn't have much memory, is slow and I am not sure if anyone would find any value in it...so I'm still on the fence on that idea.

If you all have any MAC tips, let me know....hopefully I'll get some pictures on here soon so I can make these posts more interesting - as I promised;)
