we had a chill weekend at home. which is what we always do these days.
friday jake had an endoscopy on his stomach to try to pin down the cause of his ongoing heartburn-like problems. luckily they didn't find anything to cause concern. to do the endoscopy they had to sedate jake pretty soundly, so he slept most of the afternoon. erin picked up aislinn and kept her for the evening, and i picked up autumn from school and took her to erin's as well so that i could go out to eat dinner with some friends at Biga.
i usually love Biga, but i was not thrilled with what i got this time. i ordered the special, bay scallops with sauteed greens, and they had a greens-reduction sauce on top of the scallops that really just did not jive with the scallops. scallops are such a delicate, sweet seafood flavor and this reduction sauce was very green tasting - even slightly bitter. it overwhelmed the scallops. it would have been better on beef.
i picked up the girls and by the time we got home, jake was up and feeling much more alert. then, friday night (or early saturday morning, rather), i woke up around 2:00 a.m. and thought, oh my. i am going to be sick! i ran to the bathroom and spent most of the rest of the night, as well as all day saturday, either there or in bed.
by saturday evening i was feeling better, so i took care of aislinn while jake went to the casino to watch his brother josh play poker. by the time they got home aislinn and i were WAY asleep.
sunday we got new couches! i am thrilled with them. this has been a long time coming. jake had our tired old couches since before autumn was born. i had a totally adorable set of apartment-perfect loveseats when we moved in together, but those had to go because they weren't long enough for our house. or jake's naps.
and mom, erin, and jeff all popped in today to see aislinn for a bit, which was nice.
and now it's sunday evening and i'm getting ready to prepare for a hearing tomorrow morning while we watch the oscars and eat chili by the fire.
sigh. good weekend.
