Psychotomy

So DK’s nonnie was up recently. Well, sortof.

She came up and stayed with Drummer to get him stuff for his new place, and we were meeting them for dinner downtown Saturday evening. They called us and said they were just going to drive up to where we live (They live in NoVA, so we’d been figuring on central location) so pick something up here. So I figured we’d go to Duclaw’s, since when we took Drummer a couple months ago when he was interviewing he liked it. Problem was they didn’t do reservations after 6 on the weekends :/ And 7 people’s gonna be a wait. Dealt with that by we went up early to put our name on the wait list. Then got seated. And then kept waiting because where we’d picked was “soooo far away!” … Except it’s 10 minutes from our house. Not our fault that they’re coming another 45 minutes up TO our place. I mean, given the difference in roads etc, it was maybe 5 minutes further than driving to our house. Which is how much further it’d've been to come to our house then turn around to go to a restaurant.

I should have gone with IHOP in College Park. I like french toast. DK likes pancakes. The rest of you can choke on it and make your own decisions next time! :p

Anyway, Nonnie came home with us Saturday evening. Dinner was almost at bedtime, so by the time we got home it was PAST bedtime. Sunday morning Nonnie was busy cooking so we could all go down to Drummer’s for “Brunch”. DK ran around some there, played with their dogs and cats (he was surprisingly gentle with the cats since I don’t know that he’s seen cats other than at Drummer’s graduation) and had fun. Then we came home and Kiir and Nonnie went shopping and I took DK for an ice cream cone. OMG! The “kid’s cone” (which is the same sugar cone, just a smaller scoop) had like 2 scoops of icecream, it was HUGE! Bigger than what kiir gets when she gets the regular cone !!! And the boy? He ate 2/3′s of it! OI!

Anyway, he got to spend a … uh … hrrm. After shopping we went to get nonnie’s rental, then dinner where DK and I sat around for a while and he had his dinner on the table before kiir and nonnie got there (rental issues). Then I brought him home for a bath and kiir and Nonnie went shopping at target …

So Nonnie spent ~1hr with him saturday evening and another 1hr sunday evening, plus dinners and playing with him in the car. Brunch she was talking to Drummer and others, shopping DK didn’t really go with them, etc.

K really misses his walks with nonnie. And even DK didn’t get one this time because “walk time” was replaced with “brunch time.” :/

(ed note: I’m told it’s nonnie not nani, so i think i’ve fixed them all now)
