When Ali comes to town

March 5, 2012 by Kim Woodward

My college roommate Ali visited this weekend, which was loads of fun. We don’t get to see each other very often and since I’m inept at talking on the phone, our bi-annual visits are a fun catchup time for us. And since Ali is a neonatal nurse, I was able to get lots of good baby info. We also got some good laughs about the crazy names that she sees at the hospital.

Ali was perfectly content with hanging out on the couch watching Neflix. Which is good, because that’s my most refined skill nowadays. We also did some shopping, saw The Lorax (which is so cute) and did some crafting.

She also made this mama-to-be homemade biscuits and gravy.

What? Your house guests don’t make you breakfast? You ought to get better house guests. Franco and Lola agree. They are our little sous-chefs.

Overall, a marvelous weekend had by all.

How was your weekend?

    You’ve got a nice lookin belly, lady! I still haven’t gotten used to people touching mine – I cringe every time. If I had a neonatal nurse for a friend, I would be asking her a million questions – you’re so lucky!!

    Glad you had a good weekend! And I love your belly! I had a good weekend, low key (lots of sleeping) but still productive. Pretty much a perfect weekend in my book. Oh and my friend who I threw the hungry caterpillar show for had her baby!

    Ugh… I hate talking on the phone. My phone gets terrible service in my house and I just get so frustrated. Plus, I really need to be able to see someone’s face when I have a conversation.

    You look gorgeous! You are a lucky girl with so many great friends. Glad you had a wonderful weekend! I didn’t get much accomplished… Watched movies and tv all day yesterday.

    College friends are the best! I usually only get to see my best friend annually because she’s in Florida and I’m in VA, but we Skype a lot because we both have a hard time focusing on the phone lol

    I am getting caught up on all your post since I was out of town for the last couple weeks on vacation! Loving the baby’s room so far. Feel free to share your friends biscuit and gravy recipe I am always up for good biscuit and gravy.

    SO FUN. And such a great photo of you two! I agree with being unable to talk on the phone. I get too distracted and antsy.
