whazzup 2day?
Some fun stuff has been happening.
Saw Spidey2 last week - WAY FUN! As was late night Harry Potter with my mom and Paulie. Seeing the third Harry Potter and not having read any of the books (I know, for shame) motivated me to actually consider committing myself to reading the series.
The week just kept snowballing from Spidey2 on. Grilled Monday night and watched Calendar Girls on DVD (hilarious!!!), had dinner at dad's Tuesday night and met his "friend" Taraneh, worked out and saw Matchstick Men on Wednesday (loved that film too - very nicely done), and helped Charla Marla with wedding stuff Thursday afternoon in addition to shopping at Kohl's (new bras - aren't you so excited?) and watching 7th season X-Files episodes with Paulie. All this, obviously, was on top of working a not-quite-full week. On the fifth day I rested. And hosted our monthly women's gathering, at which I had a lot of fun! (Thank you, Moj and Kari, for the fabulous late-night conversation!)
But wait, there's more!
Yesterday, Ladan and I figured out design for Charla and Pierre's wedding invitations while Chase happily played in the next room. Later in the afternoon, Paulie, Charla and I attended a "welcome to the world" party for a dear friend's wee one, Wrigley. (Yes, named after the Cubs' playing field.) And we topped it all off by watching a double-header last night - The Terminal (which was really lovely) and The Bourne Identity in preparation for The Bourne Supremacy. Paulie is a little nuts about the whole thing, if you ask me.
Today is another day of rest. Well, not really, but I'd like to think it is. I can be pretty skilled at twisting reality toward what I need it to be. I'm off to work on some stuff for the National Assembly now. And then I'm going to garden. And then I'm going to grill with a few friends. And then I'm going to pass out.
