Where have I been?

Where have we been? I’m not sure. I’ve picked up a few more hours/days at work for the next month(ish) so our playtime has been nixed a bit. Sometime in April I will go back to my sweet 3 days a week gig and Alec with go back to his 3 day a week gig and then maybe he will stop telling me how much he hates ‘school’ and I will stop feeling like a horrible mother but that is a blog for another day.

Back to where I’ve been….in some unimaginable way the planets have aligned and I have been out and about a bit (quite a bit) more. I have eaten out more recently than I have in a long, long time. Last Friday we hit FEDERAL JACKS in Kennebunk with a few friends that I worked with at the bank. It was great to catch up with them! Saturday I had mentioned that we went to BINGA'S WINGAS before the hockey game. Tuesday Alec convinced me to take him to the Children’s Museum in the afternoon. We decided to go late and meet Erik for dinner afterwards. It just so happed Erik had a restaurant.com coupon for MESA VERDE (they don’t have a website but here is a review). It is more authentic Mexican than American Mexican. Wednesday night I met up with another bank friend and her husband at MARGARITAS for dinner before going to see Jeff Dunham at the Civic Center. Obviously I live under a rock because I had no idea who he was. I went cause I love my friends, they had an extra ticket, I love to go out and I love to laugh. He did not disappoint. Here is a clip of one of his sketches ACHMED . Saturday night Erik and I just happened upon a babysitter and a GROUPON for TANDOOR (also does not have a website)- it’s decent Indian- we ate late and then strolled though the Old Port before heading home. We felt so young adult, hip and urban which is a nice change from the middle age dowdy we are starting to feel.

And, of course, doing some grocery shopping here…TRADER JOES.

So that’s were I/we have been…literally eating our way through the greater Portland area. We have to go back into Portland today….I wonder if we will eat somewhere? :)
