I Suck At Having Friends Over

Last night, Karen and I did something we haven't done since our daughter (Briana) came home from the hospital: we had a bunch of friends over. Apparently, I suck at having friends over. Truth be told, it was not like we purposely have not had any friends over our house since Briana came home. We just did not want to be an inconvenience to our friends whenever Briana had to feed... and she constantly feeds.

My BFF (Kerry) was gracious enough to come down from Salem yesterday. She wanted to make dinner for Karen and I, as well as meet our little Briana. I won't kid people. The first few weeks of raising a baby are exhausting. Television does not lie when it comes to that aspect of parenting. I don't know how single parents are able to do it because it is initially just that tiring attempting to adjust to a new routine.

Needless to say, when Kerry offered to make dinner, I was quite ecstatic for a fresh hot meal that was not cooked in the microwave. Kerry decided to make tacos for the night. Apparently, it was her first time making tacos... a taco virgin. (And for anyone who is curious, she also brought down some bagels from the ever popular Bagel World.) Anyway, the tacos were quite delicious.

While we hung out for dinner, my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea) also stopped on by last night. After all, yesterday was Tuesday and the best show currently on television is on Tuesdays... Lost. It was great to watch Lost with everyone again. Andrea got to hold Briana... as did Kerry. They both looked good holding her. You know how sometimes people just look awkward holding babies? Not Andrea and Kerry...

Marc, Kelley, and Andrea also brought a frozen treat for Kerry: ice cream complements of Frozen Freddies in Quincy. Ice cream... yum! Marc had a graham cracker ice cream flavor. It was good.

Anyway, it was simply fun to hang out with friends again. Briana was also good for the night. She did not fuss at all until everyone left. And even that fussing was because Karen and I had to wake her up for her feeding. So it was a good night. Plus, Lost was another great episode.
