Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy-o! Today's the big day- he turns 55!! Only 18 years older than Kelly Rippa or so Gram told us last night :) *learn something new every day right? We also now know that Dad thinks Kelly Rippa's chest is too boney and Gram thinks her knees are too boney. (I think they both watch a little too much tv).

We celebrated last night with dinner and a Sox win over the Angels in the 1st game of the Divisional playoffs! 4-0 Sox! Good way to start the series.

Last night was also a funny night in terms of "Gram Speak." We learned all about her woes of not wanting to go to "The Cheese Factory" too late in the day because she wouldn't be able to eat her dinner (Yep- that's CheeseCAKE Factory to the rest of us).

Then she was trying, yet again, to say Papelbon, and was saying "Paddlebomb" when referring to the pitcher-- and then ironically she was trying to tell us about this commercial she hates with a snake on a tree and "Who wants to see a Papelbon wrapped around a tree?! I hate snakes" Yep, she meant a Python!!!!!!!!! We all laughed until we cried on that one. Thanks for the laughs Gram. We love you. And even more strange, we understand you (even Dan).

Tonight is hair cut and color with Erika at the apartment, and hopefully some form of take-out for dinner because cooking with chemicals on my hair is not sounding too good. Then packing for my NY-CT-CT roadtrip this weekend.

Half day tomorrow! WOO HOO! Bring on the weekend!
