Hodge Podge-Post

Happy, happy Monday!!! What a great, great birthday weekend!!


I'm not thinking that we're gunna starve anytime soon, that's for sure. Friday night Darin's mom took us out to dinner and a movie. I am so blessed with such a cool m-i-l. She is just the sweetest. =) She was being very cute with her "when am I gunna be a grandma?" round-about questions. =) Her question was, "So Darcy, (specifically speaking to me cuz she knew I'd be more likely to choke up the answer).. when do you think you'll be able to quit your job?" Darin wouldn't let me tell her. I think we're going the "no pressure" route.



Mara.. Darin got some $ for Cubbies tickets this summer so we gotta meet up!!! He was SO excited cuz the tickets went on sale on his b-day. Althought there is some bad news... there isn't a home game when CHA is in Chi-town. My plan failed to send him to a Cubs game while I drool over new scrap-supplies. =( We need a new plan..


Saturday I took Darin to Oakwood for dinner. This is the restaurant/hotel I worked at for like 6 summers through high school and college. It's so stinking gorgeous. I was in awe of it when I worked there too. We had SUCH good food. Darin had the all-you-can-eat prime rib which equals "plate-o-heaping-meat". He was in red-meat heaven. I had the BEST shrimp I've ever had. Seriously. It was so nice to not have an agenda and to sit and talk. That doesn't happen for Darin and I often so we took advantage of our time!

Oh, the darling Miss RACHEL did a post about recipes and I think I'll do one of those soon. Always willing to share and try others new recipes! Anyone else wanna do a day of recipes? We should start our own holiday. Who wants to sign up? How about we declare Wednesday, March 1st as "Bloggin' Recipe Day". Anyone in? I'm in.

Last thing.. here are some LO's that I've done recently & have posted everywhere but here, where my dad can see!!

Dad, I hope you don't get quiver chin with this one.. I know your gunna like it. =)


And I participated in a B-day lift for Keisha (klcards) with 2Peas.. man, that chica is TALENTED!!!! Seriously could not decide which of her mega talented pages to lift. So fun!!
