If you can't go to the movies...

... go to Grotto's!

Sometimes I just want the popcorn. Grotto's has super popcorn, so where better to go for lunch when you don't have time to go to the movies?? Add to that a chance to see Richard, and it's a no-brainer!

I met Richard today at Grottos's for pizza and popcorn. They also have the best Coke in town (cola that is). At least that's true in my opinion (and after all this is all about my opinion). Richard thinks Burger King has the best Coke, but he's wrong. It's Grotto's - hands down.

There are lots of things that are over-rated, but quality time with the people that you love is never over-rated! I can't think of a time that Richard and I didn't have something to talk about. We usually have much more conversation than we have time - from movie ratings, to TV reality show comparisons (we missed that today) - to discussions about Kate (our main conversation topic) and her most recent amazingness (yes, that's a word)!

Speaking of Kate's amazingness, why have a blog if we can't discuss everyone's toilet habits. Okay... we won't discuss EVERYONE'S toilet habits, but we do have to give a shout out to Kate for her first "pee pee in the potty".

Hurray! Yeehaaa! Way to go!

Last night, August 5, 2008 at approximately 7:15 PM, the wonderful Kate paused on her way to the bathtub to dribble a thimble full of urine into the "potty". The skies opened - the earth shook - Julie and Richard looked at each other and their astounding child with awe, love and pride. Tears welled up in their eyes - they clung to each other in wonder - overcome with the knowledge that this magnificent wunderkindt was their progeny!

Okay... okay... okay! So that may have been a little bit of potty drama, but you have to admit - 18 months old? Pretty amazing!

Julie called me to share the news! And that in itself is cool! What daughter-in-law even THINKS of her mother-in-law in those magic moments, let alone calls her????? I'm very fortunate! And don't I know it!!!
