Alberto's Birthday BBQ

For Alberto's birthday, everyone met at the beach for a summer BBQ! Alberto's parents made the most delicious BBQ at Tod's Point in Greenwich for all of us with chicken, steak, chips, and guacamole. Yum!

Someone should really give Alberto's mom a cooking show or something, this woman is amazing. She showed up with a few avocados and some other random ingredients and made fresh guacamole for us right there at the beach! I've never had better guacamole before:

It was a great time and hopefully we'll all have another beach BBQ soon! In other news, when I got home that night I found my adorable little Rocky at the foot of the steps, completely wrapped up in one of my blankets with just his little nose sticking out:

Also, a couple days later, we all went to Stamford's Alive at Five where we had dinner and then tried to see Blind Melon perform. Unfortunately we were late and only caught the last song.... Oh well.

Vanessa, Jenn, and Hayley at Black Bear for dinner:

Blind Melon... leaving the stage:

Lastly, I took this picture in my backyard because I couldn't find Rocky and didn't have a flashlight (camera flashes come in handy for lots of things!) The way the picture came out, it really makes my backyard look terrifying, like something out of a horror movie with a little possessed pooch creeping about:

Many, many more pictures to come!

Flickr Fixed!

I am officially back to blogging! Ever since the cable switch in our area, our internet has been SO SLOW. It's been so bad, that I haven't even been able to use my Flickr account because every time I attempt to upload anything, it crashes on me. Jocelyn solved my problem today, though, by introducing me to the new and improved Flickr uploader that works with our sub-par internet!

So anyway, once I finish uploading my 500 or so pictures from the past month, I'll be back to posting!
