Bubba Gump

Tomorrow is my sixth wedding anniversary.  We had the chance to celebrate a little early this year.  A couple of weeks ago, when we were in Chicago for Keith, we stopped at Navy Pier for lunch at:



We love this place because of New Orleans.  We spent our honeymoon in New Orleans in Oct/Nov. 2004.  (Side note: nothing beats Halloween on Bourbon Street!)  Anyflasher, we ate at Bubba Gumps three times while we were there.  It was awesome food and great service. 

We had planned on going back for our first wedding anniversary, which took place weeks after Katrina hit.  So we had to improvise.  Keith remembered that there was a Bubba Gumps restaurant at Navy Pier, so we went there that day.  To celebrate not only our first year of marriage, but also the fact that I had taken a pregnancy test that morning and it was positive! ;)

So now, five years later, we were back to celebrate six years of marriage. 

This sign is no indication of how Keith feels after six years:

I had this:
Mmmmm..... coconut shrimp
I'm so glad we went.  It's not the same as being in New Orleans, but it's pretty close!

Happy Anniversary Keith! May we have many more years of happiness together.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite ...

I'm not a perfect mom, I just play one on my blog

I read a blog recently that talked about food.  The mom was very careful to say she buys farm-fresh food, only organic fruits and veggies, blah blah blah.  Then she added how she fed her child a hot dog.  But she couldn't just say hot dog.  She had to specify it was nitrate free, turkey based, something or other. But why? Who cares? Is she so afraid of being judged for giving her child a real hot dog that she must waste precious words of her post making it damn clear that it was a super-healthy hot dog? Let me stand up and be the first to say I feed my kids real hot dogs.  Well all-beef ones, but still.  I didn't cloth diaper, not because I don't care about the environment, but because I'm lazy, and it's gross to me.  However, I am planning on buying some cloth pull-ups because it's cheaper......... I didn't exclusively breast-feed, and my kids turned out fine. My kids have ketchup almost every night at dinner. My kids eat McDonalds. ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
