Tuesday!

Hello doods! We had an amazing weekend. After working my tail off the last week and a bit I was rewarded with 5.. yes 5 days off in a row! How exciting! I don't even recall exactly what we did but some of it was nothing. Yes friday the best I managed was to get everyone in the bath! Saturday Melanie Troyer (Fellers) and I went to the Pink Lime Salon... heaven, I was in heaven! We had a massagee and a pedicure! I had my piggies done in "didgiri-doo your nails pink? Mel opted for Socrates to me.. or something like that. Before we hit the spa we had a delicious brunch at Milestones and squeezed in a little window shopping. When I cam home... Michael MADE dinner. Yes that is correct, for the second time in our 15 year union, Michael MADE dinner! This time however, it was delicious! I almost forgot and how could I. My wonderful friend Lisa took me out for drinks and snackies at the 5 Point on Saturday night. It was really really nice. Afterwards we walked and talked it was coooooold but so crisp and beautiful. I had a great time. It really is nice to have some adult friend time!
Sunday we wandered around Mt Pleasant aimlessly before happening upon Mill's Paints. In we go... chat about painting.. spur of the moment decide to paint and voila.. tune in next week to see how we turned this



Into something amazing! Ok, we all know by "this" I meant the black wall in the girls bedroom right.. the "this" in no way refers to some amazing makeover the putty knife holder gets!

After our paint selection we made our way to cafe Rustico. This place is literally across the street from us. The extremely hyper Italian guy that runs the place is constantly pouring espresso down my throat! After the nasty case of the shakes I got last time I no longer take him up on his espresso treats! Here is Maeve seen thru a coffee cup. Very avante garde, photo courtesy of Michael Mussellam. Artist.



Today we had some visitors at Casa Mussellam. Lisa stopped by with her 7 week old baby girl Miete.



We had a very nice visit. She isn't too far away so it'll be great now that she knows where we live, we'll make her walk up the hill to visit us! Stroller bootcamp as it were! Miete is a lovely baby. She is all ginger and smiles for her mother. Like the rest of the human race, my voice distresses her and makes her cry! ha ha oh well, when listening to me everyone is crying at least on the inside!

Melanie and Carter dropped by for a short visit! Maeve and Madigan LOVE Carter!



He is such a happy adorable little baby! He looks like Mel alot.. and also Monkey! Mel rolled up with her hair all did and looked totally gorgey! When Mel and Carter arrived, Maeve collected all the pillows from the couch and made a safe area around Carter incase there were any crash landings. Watch the video, you are sure to see one! No babies were hurt in the making of this video! Mel might hurt me after watching if she is anything like me and hates seeing herself on camera! I think she looks great in this video. Shut up, you do too!

I can't wait to see the Girls' Room Makeover! That black would have surely made the girls into Goths! Miete is sooo cute and Carter is a total babe! Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. Nice hair Melanie.

Although, I do hate myself on video I do appreciate that you framed out 4 of my chins. I don't know where to start with the commenting. The thank you for having us over, the cooing over the lovely Miete, the appreciation of arty photograph, the admiration of the painted room, how totally awesome your girls are. I would let them babysit Carter now.

But I will say this. That photo with Maeve,Carter and Madigan had me laughing again. It's like a flash forward to drunken boat cruise, with Madigan as crazy party girl in the back. Pantless and all.

ooh its going to be VERY hard to turn black pink, but I'm sure you know well about primer and sanding. Painting is SO Fun.
*not*

Cute vids, looking forward to this weekends visit. Michael is cranky and throws around the word 'whatever' alot.
He had better be in better spirits this weekend, as he can have a Mike and Michael love outing.

Wow, vash sounds like a relaxing and fun week, man isn't having a bunch of days off in a row at home awesome, I find it more relaxing then when we go on vacation, as I don't have to scramble up mountain sides and chase through villages and paddle down rivers I can just loaf saunter down the the local coffee shop and order a mellowchino(cappuccino with marshmallow) and enjoy the day.... I think mel look great she is crazy if she thinks she looks bad on camera. BOOO Micheal make my sister dinner 3 times a week, you lazy sot. Oh hey my word verification is Fukcfl and I do hate the CFL
