After the fabulous closing night of Lysistrata and a wonderful birthday party for surrealestate and DD's darling Tadpole, plumtreeblossom and I were crossing the street this evening when we were hit by a car. It was making a left turn into the street we were crossing; the driver had probably slowed for the turn but didn't seem to slow at all to avoid hitting us; he did pull ( Read more... )

plumtreeblossom and I are home after a really wonderful trip! The drive down was slow in places (in part because of one bad accident we passed), and we ended up arriving many hours after we’d hoped to, but we made it OK. We had a really wonderful time with bcat1 and S. and the twins. And they had a rite of passage while we were there - we gave them their vuvuzelas ( Read more... )

Since last weekend (Circus weekend!), I’ve been busy.
You might need to click this twice; I do, on two different browsers: [Just bullet points, but lots of them; cut for length.]

• Monday was the regular Poly Boston dinner at Bertucci’s. Unfortunately plumtreeblossom couldn’t make it because of rehearsal. It was quite fun, with a bunch of cool new people!
• Tuesday I had dinner with xmelancholia near (my) work; she introduced me to ( Read more... )

So tomorrow plumtreeblossom and I are driving down to North Carolina to visit my adorable niece and nephew, who are rapidly approaching two! We are so excited!

(Oh, we might say hi to their parents, too, if they happen to be around. :-)

I have it on good authority that there is also some Arby’s in our future.

No time for a full update, but:

• On Friday, got together with ifuonlyknew, who is at home recuperating from surgery. Was great to hang out with her.
• On Saturday, my beloved plumtreeblossom and I saw the circus and had a wonderful time. This was also my first opportunity to see her awesome new hairdo! Then we went over to surrealestate's and DD's and got to hang out with them and their ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to surrealestate, who has brought many wonderful things into my life, but none more wonderful than plumtreeblossom - surrealestate is how we met.

surrealestate, I hope you really enjoyed your birthday present, even though it was about a week early. I bet you will get lots of enjoyment out of him! Properly cared for, he can last a lifetime. :-) And I hear you have a late birthday ( Read more... )

So, I desperately need to be cleaning and packing for a weekend trip. So naturally, I am procrastinating by organizing photos. (bcat1 and spacechicken, you should be glad I had another opportunity to procrastinate trip so soon after visiting you, so I’m getting the photos posted!)

 Lots going on over the last few weeks, and I’m so behind in reporting it that I’m just going to do bullet points, in something approaching reverse chronological order:

• My beloved honeywuzzle plumtreeblossom is cooking me eggs and ham and toast for breakfast.  Om nom nom!
• We saw Despicable Me last night and really enjoyed it.
• I feel like I’m hitting my groove at the ( Read more... )

OK, I should have posted these ages and ages ago, but here finally are the pictures from my trip with plumtreeblossom to North Carolina last month to meet Rider and Genesis, bcat1’s and spacechicken’s twin babies: Visiting the babies, June 2010 (on Flickr).

(Sorry for the lack of editing and the somewhat austere captions.)

EDIT: spacechicken pointed out that I had a bunch of the photos ( Read more... )
