Recap

Friday: Jesse, Lily, and I got all decked out in red and black to support our squadron and headed out to the Biloxi Colosseum for opening night of the Mississippi Surge hockey season. (They had given out free tickets) As I mentioned on facebook, this was a trial experiment to see what Lily can handle if we want to take her to things after bedtime. She alternated between clingy-fussy-whiny and delirious-sleepy-snuggly. She never fell asleep, though we were there two and a half hours past bedtime. Nor did she ever have a complete meltdown. (Whew!) Her favorite part of the game was watching the crowd with their cowbells. My favorite part of the game was the mini-hockey-kids that played during the break. Jesse's favorite part of the game was the fighting. Oh, and we also thought it was funny when Lily was watching the guy next to us like a hawk...because he was eating nachos. Apparently she was hoping he'd share! :o) All in all, a fun night. I got to meet some friends from the squadron finally! And the Surge won!

Saturday: My oven was on from 6:30am till about 5pm. I was baking bread and cookies. Lots of bread and LOTS of cookies. I spent all my free time in the kitchen prepping our meal for today because we were FINALLY having some people over! I didn't need to be such an over-achiever about the meal, but cooking and baking *are* hobbies of mine, and I wanted to bless the guys we were having over who don't usually get home-cooked meals. I did manage to fit in some playing with Lily and some hanging with Jesse...oh, and LJ and I went grocery shopping first thing...but I didn't get a nap :o( and I did drink half a pot of coffee all by myself :o) And I'm glad I did it all during the day, because we got a call in the evening from a guy from the squadron who's also a SepRat (lives off-base like us) that his wife and him were just having some people over to hang out...so we just decided to go! At 6pm. When Lily is usually getting ready for bed at 6:30! Poor kid. She did great, though! We didn't come home until 9! Then Jesse and I watched Lie to Me and I almost died of sleepiness! :o)

Today: Church in the am. Chili, bread, pizza baguette bites, and cookies for lunch. The guests included two couples who live off base (one with their two-year-old daughter, who Lily had fun playing with...for the most part) and two guys from the squadron who are fellow ropes with Jesse. We watched football and hung out...and I got to know the girls better. We ate a ton. And of course, I had a TON left over...but that's better than not enough! And I was able to send everyone home with extra cookies! :o) I'm so glad to have met some people from the squadron...the guys (who Jesse hangs out with a lot, obviously) and also the girls. It'll be great to get to know them better.

Right now: Propping my feet up and watching a movie with Jesse. Don't tell him, but I plan on falling asleep during it! ;o)
