My famil(y/ies), they are fun.

This smile brought to you by a whole lotta Sangiovese!




...played DDR SuperNova with my brother. (I LOVE this picture of us, despite my silly-looking face.)


...teased JD for his lack of matching skills. (That shirt with those swim trunks? I mean, really.)


...took hilarious video of this situation. I'll try to make it available later.


...stalked my brother, apparently. I swear this is the last one of him. Punchy punch. I got video of this, too.


...had a comped meal at the Trump Taj Mahal because of a nasty experience we had and reported last time we were in Atlantic City. This was my dessert, a giant cupcake with three dipping sauces. I brought half home, along with half of my dinner and half of my mom's dessert.


...definitely coveted my mom's apple and raisin bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream.


...sampled JD's sugar-free cheesecake. Delish.

And then, I:


...had a Sangiovese wine-tasting dinner at Dad's. Menu was Wine Country Beef on Arugula, Tomato Risotto, and Bruschetta, Goat Cheese, and Sage Pizza Rolls.


...toasted my Dad.


...toasted Shelly.


...recorded all my wine observations in my Vino Journal. This was Shelly, during our brainstorm.



I've been pretty busy, and on not a lot of a sleep, either. I was in both Ocean City and Atlantic City today, came back home around 4PM for a whirlwind change of clothes and gathering of ingredients, and bounced over to Dad's to cook and eat. Now I've got a sore throat (please don't be a summer cold) and am seriously, SERIOUSLY running out of steam. Kaput.

More fun tomorrow? I am being treated to new running shoes. Excellent!

Can I call your dad 'cute', or is that just weird?

[besubversive.livejournal.com]

You can totally call him cute. I'll take it as an inherited compliment.

hah. you were totally in the surf mall on the o.c. boardwalk, weren't you? these pictures look like so much fun! I'm jealous. I miss the beach and lazy (or hectic) summer fun. so glad you had a good time! the wine dinners sound fantastic.

[besubversive.livejournal.com]

Totally were! The fun was way more hectic than lazy, but we DID enjoy ourselves.
