(no subject)
hi all! the last couple of nights i've been actually reading my lj flist again, like i used to when i lived alone in chile and spent HOURS on lj :) i forgot what a quality time it can be! so i don't really have anything specific to write about, just thought i'd check in.
got a tiny raise today, so though it won't make a ton of noticeable difference, it's a nice feeling :)
going to cleveland for the long holiday weekend, leaving friday afternoon. i'm actually really excited! this may also be because we're letting ourselves break the diet for the weekend :)
we also booked (train) tickets to visit family in pittsburgh over labor day weekend. i'm really excited about that!!
for now i'm just enjoying the summer...riding my bike to work a couple times a week, working on the diet, planning for future...more on that to come :). esther's starting a part time job and full time school this fall, so while i'm a teensy bit concerned that she might be taking on too much, it's also super exciting! i know she feels welcomed here in this country and i'm happy about that.
speaking of this country--we got civil unioned the first day it became legal in IL! and then last week NY passed equal marriage! we're slowly getting there!!!
oh and...typing this on our new macbook pro. that is definitely another highlight of this summer :)
