Joshua Bell is my new hero.
Wooo! Good news! Tim from Back Bay Bicycle called to let us know that the bikes we ordered will arrive next week - just in time for the great weather.
NB told me that I look like a lesbian now. I'm not quite sure what to make of this comment. Do you?
I give two thumbs up and a standing ovation to Eve Ensler. This evening, SC and I saw a performance of The Good Body, performed by the one and only, Ms. Ensler.
SC was able to take some time off from her playwriting last night so we were able to meet MK and LL for dinner at the Elephant Walk. The food was delicious and MK seemed quite happy with her special celiac menu.
I had a little bit of a scare last night when I saw on the news that 12 American tourists who were passengers on a Celebrity Cruise died while returning from an excursion in Chile. My parents left on Friday for Chile to go on a two week South American cruise. So naturally, my initial reaction was one of panic. And of course, the news blurb on TV was like thirty seconds long, so that didn't help.
Today I got a brief glimpse of the Ether Dome in the Bulfinch Building of Mass General Hospital. The Bulfinch Building is the original MGH building.
Sydney has taken quite a liking to the YMCA totebag that SC won at MK and LL's marathon fundraiser [ see March 16, 2006 posting ].
My St. Patty's Day outing was exactly as I expected it to be. SC and I ventured out to the Littlest Bar to meet up with DB and her crew. Instead of getting to experience the bar from the inside, we got to experience it from the outside, in the cold, waiting in a line (albeit short) that was not going to move in the next century. From the outside, we got to listen to the Irish jig and also got to peer through the window at all the people cramped inside the Littlest.
Last night was MK and LL's marathon fundraising event. It was held at Clery's and MK bought us a glutten-free beer to try (it was not my favorite).
I just placed like my sixth Amazon order in the past month. Yes, I am a serial online shopper. In my latest order, I bought a carbon monoxide detector since a recent law was passed in Massachusetts requiring that all homes have one by March 31, 2006. You gotta love these new laws.
Everyone rocked out last night, but now we are stuck with a lot of good beer in our fridge. Hopefully people will stop by Friday for some pre- St. Patty's day beer consumption.
We spent all morning and early afternoon cleaning up the house for our Rock Star Guitar Hero party that is taking place this evening. The floors are shiney and the bathroom has that new shower liner smell to it. Mmmmmm...
I hate it when I spill coffee on my hand.
SC and I had a special date this weekend at the aquarium. We checked out the penguins and turtles and jellyfish and lobsters (yum). Visiting the aquarium always makes me hungry. It's a good thing I don't work there because I think I'd be a huge risk to the wildlife.
It was time for a change. So, this past weekend I gave my website an entire makeover. I was sick of looking at it. Plus, I figured I've been learning a lot of new tricks at work and it is finally time to use some of these methods.
