Good times

I'm really late with this update, so I apologize. But I'm starting to operate under the, "better late than never," philosophy with my blog.

Last Wednesday, Pat and I went out to dinner at our favorite Angelo's pizza in Lakewood. I don't miss the annoying cops and frivolous traffic violations in Lakewood, but boy do I miss Angelo's pizza. It was our first time eating outside on their patio, too. Good eats. Good company. After dinner, we went to the Rock Hall to see the Fitz and the Tantrums perform live, outside as a part of the FREE Summer in the City Concert Series. It was a beautiful night in Cleveland and this group was just as good live as they are on their CD's. If you haven't heard the Fitz, listen to one of my favorite songs here. After the concert we went out for ice cream. Have I mentioned I LOVE summer?

Last weekend we went camping with my college roommies (minus Emily Tucker-Halm - WE MISSED YOU) at my dad and Jill's house. Yes, you read that right. I did say camping at my parents' house. Don't judge. They have 13 acres (even though we camp within a stone's throw away from their house). But it's free, we can be as loud as we want without worrying about disturbing other campers and as long as you're sleeping in a tent, I still think it's camping. Are you with me? The weekend was quite eventful. Within twenty minutes of being there Grady got kicked by the donkeys. I cried. He was fine and he learned a valuable lesson. We played games, went canoeing, made campfire meals and had a great time. Love my old roommies and wish we all saw each other more often.



Last night we met up with the Duffys and the Detwilers at Tommy's restaurant in North Ridgeville. The pizzas were DELICIOUS and they even had an entire page of gluten-free food for Julie-D! I can honestly say, when it comes to buffalo chicken pizza, I've never had better! And they love Jesus. (see sign below).

'Make no mistake Jesus Christ is Lord." Amen.
After dinner we went over to the Detwilers for some beers, Euchre and some interesting conversation about the Casey Anthony trial, the judicial system and politics. Don't worry, no beers were thrown or mean words exchanged. It was a fun night!

Julie-D and me!
Today we are off to Youngstown for the 1st Annual Stitle Pigroast where Pat can reconnect with some of his college roommates. It should be a good time, if I can avoid seeing the dead pig spinning around on a stick. I also found out yesterday that at the last pig roast he attended, Pat actually ate some of the brain matter of the pig. He didn't say whether he did it as a result of losing a bet or just because he was highly intoxicated. Either way, I threw up in my mouth when he told me. Gross.

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!

Week: 19 Baby size: 6 inches, the size of a mango Bump size: 35.5 inches   Weight: +10 pounds Cravings: Anything sweet I still can't pass up desserts and don't worry - I didn't pass on anything this week, as much as I should have. I ate a glazed doughnut, piece of chocolate cake (it was small...) and a piece of cheesecake. Not all in the same day, but in the same week.  Other than my poor eating habits, which is old news at this point, there were a few other big developments this week. I guess you could say I officially "popped." I received more comments (and more belly touching) this week than I have throughout the pregnancy. This is both good and bad. I kind of liked being able to "hide" my pregnancy and only talk about it when and with whom I wanted. Those days are officially behind me and my protruding belly apparently is just screaming to people, "yes, I'm pregnant. Let's talk about it." There are only two weeks ...

Beware of Infections...

When I think of an infection, I think of something that needs a little neosporin and a band aid and then life goes on. When the doctors started talking about Mark's infection as something that is life-threatening, as you can imagine, I was shocked. He has stage IV cancer for god's sake, an infection is the least of his worries, right? Wrong. Turns out it's not uncommon for people going through this treatment to get these infections which can be fatal if it doesn't respond to antibiotics and continues to spread. So, going back to my blog about not worrying because it doesn't get you anywhere and it's a waste of time, yada yada yada - I have done very little of anything else besides worry during the past 36 hours or so. Even during the hour and a half last night watching the movie Amityville Horror I was worrying. Well, I guess I was worrying more about not peeing my pants, but you get the idea. I feel bad for the people around me when I get worried like this. I ...
