The Bridenstines -- Random Rants, Daily Dish and Seriously Silly Stuff

Friday, July 31, 2009 --- Milkshake Fun!

The whole family got to go see the great kid's rock band Milkshake last weekend, and NJ loved it. He danced around and had a ton of fun, making it a point to clear out from most kids and make his own dance floor in the reception area. Mom decided to buy a CD from the band, and before you know it, Dad was talking to the lead singer about their prospective TV show! Who knows what will happen, but Lisa from the band was nice enough to send us the Milkshake DVD and a t-shirt for NJ! Great stuff and great tunes. I suspect we'll be tapping our toes to Milkshake for a long, long time. Here's two shots of NJ modeling his new shirt!

Monday, July 20, 2009 --- Saturday in Red Hook

This past Saturday Michael tried to take Lori and Nicholas on the same bike trip he took on July 4th. NJ did really well, and we had quite the day. All the way down the West Side on the bike path, then across Tribeca to the South Street Seaport, where just south we picked up the IKEA water shuttle to Red Hook. [Kind of a cheat, but he's only 1 1/2!] We got lunch at our favorite little, Hope and Anchor, and although NJ didn't eat much, it is always great to enjoy NYC and it's amazing sites. Here's a little clip of Mom and NJ sitting down, enjoying lunch together.

Saturday, July 11, 2009 --- Dancing in the 360!

On "What Not To Wear", the show has a segment where the contributor (the person who's getting the makeover) steps into a 360 degree mirror to be critiqued mercilessly by Stacy and Clinton, the show's hosts. Well, check out the youngest contributor to ever enter the 360! Nicholas James! Mom and NJ came to visit Daddy on set and had a ton of fun getting his grubby hands all over the mirror, while eating a cookie of course. Take a look at the dancing fool!

The Bridenstines consist of five sentient beings of various intellect, value and potential, specifically:

Lori -- Wife and mother, taking a government-sanctioned maternity break from her personal training gig to birth, rear and guide her son as he begins his life and ends hers, a.k.a. “eating the metaphorical bon bon.”

Nicholas -- Newest addition to the family, born happy, healthy and eager to start blaming his parents for ruining his life. Predicted first word – Why?

Brummie -- Elder female feline, happy with warm belly rubs and cold bowls of milk. Tabby in coat, Tiger in heart.

Maya -- Deadly-but-delicious younger putty tat, with a soft face to melt the hardest heart and a proclivity toward urinating on Mom and Dad while they sleep.

Michael -- Husband and father, busy writing, producing and directing the next great American sitcom, if at least in his head. Loves to multi-task while on the phone, often by dusting while yapping.
