Blog Bash

I have to admit, I was kinda nervous for our 'blind-date' with Western MA bloggers. I am not entirely comfortable in potentially awkward social situations - especially without a glass of wine. I was so happily relieved. Over a delicious lunch at the Noho Brewery and ice cream at H*rrells we easily chatted about incredibly good toddler behavior, travel plans, the melding of last names, jobs, seafood, religion, life in the "happy valley", pregnancy, dogs and cats, NYC, and, most importantly, a love of games. I LOVE playing games. So, the date went well. I think we may have found some real live friends!

In other news, our little doggy love, Ringo, has a tear in a valve in his heart. This is serious, but better than the news I've been expecting all week. I have to tell you, I went to school this week so I would have to stop crying. I was so incredibly stressed and worried because all the signs pointed to heart disease, which could mean weeks or months. Instead we have a dog that we have to treat like a "heart patient" - low-sodium diet, no prolonged vigorous exercise or excitement, daily medication, yearly EKG's and ultrasounds, daily tooth brushing and yearly teeth cleaning. It's all worth it - I love my dog. If my doggy-mommying is any indication of what I'll be like with a baby - WATCH OUT!

BTW, we test on Wednesday. Probably not before. I feel normal normal normal. ugh.

It was great to meet you two! I find it difficult to make friends in this area, so why not through blogging? We definitely have to do game night...

Happy home-stretch of the school year!

Congrats on your dog not being too too sick. The word "yearly" is a good sign.

Good luck on the test. Fingers are corssed here.

I love games, too. I guess Brooklyn's a little too far to travel for game night, eh?

I' also a teacher! We have 18 wake-up days left and only 16 days with kids. But will we make it alive?

I would so go on a second date with you guys! It was great to meet you both.

I love games so so so much. I may have missed that conversation. I'm becoming addicted to apples to apples.

Sweets and I both enjoyed meeting you two- I'm always nervous, too, but it was a good time! I'm sorry you're in the ttc-coaster for another go-round. Here's hoping Alaska is wonderful and rejuvenating. -Kate-
