I try to take Sundays off of social media, but it has occurred to me that what I really mean by that is "fast" social media, the constant churn. So perhaps Sunday is the right day to take 5 minutes to type a longer post. And there is one such post that ought to be done!

Cassius recently turned 7. Seven!! How is this possible?!? He starts 2nd grade ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who made it to my birthday party! I was really happy I was able to just hang out and talk with so many of my friends. And after the party, I have a lot of interesting and tasty things to drink, and the equivalent of an entire large (and tasty, but rather overwhelming) carrot cake left over ( Read more... )

1. It is really not okay to park somebody in at a restaurant2. When you sit on the patio for 5-10 minutes as the waiter tries to find the driver, and then you say, "Oh! I was wondering if it was me!" followed by a silly-me giggle and, "I thought that car must be driven by somebody that works here!" because that car is not as nice as yours? It makes ( Read more... )

Today has been a very weird day, because it is Sunday and my birthday, but I had to work all day--and I mean I got home after 10 p.m. But I got a free gourmet dinner with wine and tasty cake and had...um...30 people singing happy birthday to me when I had a piece of cake with a candle in it delivered ( Read more... )

My birthday is June 3rd. Since I'll be fully booked that weekend for details involving the work conference, I don't know if/how I'll celebrate. It may be a weekday dinner at The Red Dragon on Wednesday a week from tomorrow or something low-key like that ( Read more... )

Even though it's not for another four days, I'm already tallying up the tribute ( Read more... )

Oog. Feel like zombies ate my brain. Party last night went well, I think. People started really showing up after nine (silly people), and the ones who weren't crashing here left around 3:30. I think there were about thirty people. People played Spades. People drank a lot, cheap beer and champagne alike. People smoked and talked and told tall ( Read more... )
