Weekend Partay!

Well I had a racous weekend! Saturday night I went to a Solstice/Housewarming party at Tim and Jennifer's (Jennifer is the hair stylist extraordinaire). Their party was HUGE, so I clung to the 5-6 people I knew, where I learned that 2 of them are now pregnant and due within days of each other--and they both used the same sperm bank! Talk about coincidence!

Talk about babies, Jennifer and Tim's daughter Sadie is growing so fast and is so cute. And she apparently likes sparkling water. And, I got to see John (a friend from book club) and his twin boys, Jack and Chase. The twins are about 8 months now but John has been hiding them in a closet and nobody has seen them before now. The rumor going around book club was that the twins didn't actually exist and that John's fabrication was just a ruse to get people to give him used baby clothes. But the rumor was put to rest--Jack and Chase do exist (and they are darling!).

And even more baby news, I got to speak with our friend Sasha on Saturday. Sasha is one of Kevin's friends from their old Boy Scout camp days. Anyway, Sasha and his wife Stella had a baby just last month--Aaron. I got to hear all the latest baby news including the scoop on toddler Isaac as he adjusts to his new role as big brother. Congrats to the Chizhik family!

Sunday night was equally exciting. Kevin returned intact from his Boy Scout backpacking trip (Scout and I managed to hold down the fort alone this weekend). And at night we went to a Sex and the City premiere party at Sandy's. There were NY style hot dogs on the barbie and various other BBQ favorites including an artichoke dip and a spinach dip (I'm a total dip fiend). We slaved and cooked all day for our contribution: Doritos.

Tuesday I get to see Jennifer and Tim (+Sadie), Sandy, and John (+babies) at book club. We got a little behind on our last book so our schedule is a bit out of whack (we're supposed to meet the first Tuesday of the month). This month's book is The Rector's Wife by Joanna Trollope. Can't talk about it until book club is over though :).

Okay, off to German class. This is our last class before the final. I can't believe I've completed 3 quarters of German already. In non-Jr.-college terms it's the equivalent of the first year (two semesters) of German. I enjoyed it but it got REAL hard at the end here, so I'll be glad to get a break from it. Auf Wiedersehn!
