Chillin out Maxin and Relaxin

So, my darling dear and I took it nice and easy this weekend. No wedding planning, no stressing, just nice get-togethers with friends. Saturday night, we met with our friends who live near Prospect Park. The boys played video games while Julie and I solved the major problems of the world. After stuffing ourselves on take-out, we chatted about movies, and then one of our guests left. Then we played a couple vs. couple game of Cranium. It was Crani-awesome. Russ and I plotted along, working well as a team (Team Tucker!), and our friends amused us with their arguments and teasing. They have been married for a year, but together for 8. Everytime Julie moved or said anything, Dave made fun of her, to which Julie responded with enthusiastic criticism. No lie, it was hilarious. I was laughing so hard at their rapport that I was crying.

Today, we went to a baby's 1st birthday party of a friend of ours. It was her actual birthday today, and though it was out in New Jersey, it was well worth the trek. There was much socializing and food. After the party, we drove out to Staten Island to pick up a video game at Toys R Us, or as I secretly call it "Toys Are Russ". We then hit my favorite locale for food, which is, of course, Chili's. They are rare on this side of town, so I was happy to stop. I am now home and waiting for Russ to plug in our new game, which comes with a guitar apparatus. I, of course, have no clue how to work it my ownself. It is up to the technology czar to work his magic so that I can have a new addiction...one besides Presidente Margaritas.

As an addendum, looking at all the babies made me really wish we had one. One day....
