Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Today is my mom’s birthday so we took her out to dinner at our local East Side Mario’s, which is an EXCELLENT italian restaurant out on Candlewood in Lakewood.  Always amazing food there.  Their parmigiana of any kind (chicken, veal, eggplant) is to die for, and there is enough for a full lunch the next day, too.  Big Mochi always fills up on their garlic bread, caesar salads and appetizers so by the time her spaghetti meal comes, she’ll take a couple of bites and  Baby Mochi will polish off the rest happily.  We’re talking HAPPY with huge grins every 10 seconds as she put her noodles on her fork with one hand and then ate it off her fork like a big girl.  Sooooooooo cute!!!

After putting the mochis to bed, I took my 11-year old nephew out walking to the video kiosk at our local Pavilions.  About halfway there, I realized I didn’t have my debit card.  I figured maybe we could go to Blockbuster and pay cash instead, but was politely informed that I’d need a credit card for that, too.  So instead, we walked all the way back home, jumped in the car, and drove back.  Hahahaha.  So sad.

Jumpers got bad reviews, but in my opinion… great movie!!!
