finally a free monday night
yall
life has been crazy busy these last few weeks and i think i am only getting a short hiatus because its fall break, so that means i am not teaching this week.
so what do i have to report? here's the news of my life in no real order:
1. my friend alyson (mama to ro ro and finn) ran the chicago marathon yesterday. isn't that bonkers? she said she felt good afterward. i guess it got real hard at like mile 20 but what was great is that nicole met her and ran with her for like three miles and she said that really helped get her second wind. how sweet is that?
2. yesterday jes and i volunteered at the Atlanta Lesbian Health Initiative (ALHI) Garden Party. We got to hang out with Sarah and Angie B. for a few hours and then we had to sell raffle tickets for a free trip to Costa Rica. We were so excited b/c we bought a bunch of tickets, but alas we did not win. Oh bother. It was really fun and they had all these delicious nibbles around-- I ate way too many sweets. There were definitely some tipsy folks there but that worked in our favor b/c a) we looked cuter so they wanted to talk to us and b) they were more giving of their money which means more funds for ALHI, so YEAH!
3. we went over to Sarah and Kim's house on Saturday for some seriously delicious dips and Mexican Train dominoes. I ate WAY TOO MUCH of sarah's divine seven layer dip. we also got to feel the babies moving in Kim. they (especially nilla pudding) were kicking up a storm. i can't wait until they are on the outside. i am going to eat them up.
4. on saturday afternoon both jes and i got MUCH NEEDED hair cuts at sweetgrass and as we were leaving we decided we wanted to get something to eat and then i checked my voicemail and angie and elin had called to ask if we wanted to meet them like two blocks away for a bite to eat. isn't that a weird coincidence? we ate greasy friend food and talked about bikes and music. it was a good time. oh and weirdly, i saw my friend joyce who i know through mary. we hung out some when i lived in sf ten years ago (yikes it HAS been that long). anywho i saw her when she walked it but did not know a)if she would recognize me or b)if it was her or her twin sister i do not know. after a few minutes she called my name and then we hugged and caught up. she was in town for an MBA conference. it was great to see her.
5. two of my friends got married in the last few weeks. first higgins and bobby tied the knot up in maine. she sent me pictures and seriously its like a j. crew catalog. everyone is lovely and fashionable and her and bobby are glowing will love. i am so happy for them. and then last weekend my friend erin got married to her love matt. i have not seen pictures yet, but reports from alyson and nicole are that erin was a vision in blue. oh and alyson got certified or whatever as a preacher and she did the ceremony. how hilarious is that?
ok that is about it. kim (of kim and sarah) has her bday on friday, so Happy Birthday Kim! Hope your day is lovely and filled with foot rubs and naps.
