This One's for the Queen

The QUEEN of Pittsburgh got on my case last week for not keeping my blog updated as often as before. My new job (actually, the commute) wipes me out! When I get home, I eat dinner, maybe watch a little TV or write out some Thank You notes for wedding gifts and by 9:00 pm, I'm dead to the world!

Actually, I don't feel so bad 'cuz the folks I read daily haven't kept theirs updated as often either (ahem... Crusher, bjciii and Moreno Bee! hee hee).


Hey, DJ... play my song!

So, this past weekend, Robert & Pokey had their annual album party. I believe this was the 5th one. In the prior 2 years, this party was held in August, and somehow on the hottest day of the year. This year, it was the rainiest day of the year, but a good time was had by all. It seemed as though more folks brought albums than last year. Nate, John, Roger, MP, Marie, William and Freddy took control of the turntable. And of course, Pokey cooked up a storm with her famous potatoes and Robert grilled up every kind of meat you could want. YUM! Thanks for having us over, Robert & Pokes!

OK... yes, I know this picture looks like it was through the eyes of someone who was ruffied. The camera on my phone doesn't do so great in low light and I forgot to bring my digital (NUTS!). But this is kinda cool in an abstract way, isn't it?

Sunday, John put up a new microwave over the stove. That freed up lots of space on the countertop! It's a really nice one too... all kinds of features and a little more powerful than the other one. Although the old microwave was pretty cool 'cuz it was also a toaster oven and broiler. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

We watched a bit of the Redskins game over at Williams. I promptly fell asleep after eating a couple wings and slices of Ledo's pizza, which was our queue to head home. I've been craving pizza and pasta lately. NO... it's not what you're thinking!!! PMS, my friends. So, THANKS, William, for the yummy grub!

Well, hope everyone has a good week and I'm hoping to be able to blog again before the week is out. Holla!
