Busy weekend.

Saturday ran errands. Had to go Valley Fair/Value City for something to wear for grandmother's birthday dinner and the post-wedding party this weekend. Ended up finding 2 button down dresses (for nursing/pumping ease) and a skirt there. Whew (glad the easter dresses were in).

Although we'd thought we'd be late, we made it by 5 to Peter Lugers in Williamsburg Brooklyn. An odd neighborhood for a good steakhouse. Ate steak, although my grandmother (who turned 94) likes it much rarer than I do. (Actually steak is just about the only thing to eat there, other than lambchops). It is very expensive, I am glad my cousin who works for Goldman Sachs and has $ paid for all of us. We did get a lot of leftovers of steak to take home. My grandmother is just about herself from her recent bout of pnuemonia. She's very thin, but she's always that way. She did eat a lot of steak etc though, even chewing the bone.

Yesterday, we went to a post-wedding party. A long story, but a friend of ours married his second cousin (it's legal) from Argetina. A nice time was had by all at the party and it was a nice day to drive down to the Princeton, NJ area (the party was at his sisters). Before we headed back, my husband, mother-in-law and I drove to Wegmans supermarket which was a really cool supermarket. Tons of prepared food and other interesting stuff. It took us a while to get home, so we picked up Alan at his daycare provider (kids weren't allowed at the party, so we had to leave him) and crashed :(

It's monday, I'm at work and have to focus on it...blech!

I washed a mixed bunch of stuff (mostly Alan's) tonight. Something (I don't know what, although I have a suspect) ran blue over a bunch of Alan's things. Any idea of the best way to get the blue out (they are mostly cotton items, but I don't think they can all be bleached - for example one is a yellow bib).

Would soaking in Oxyclean help?
