CATEGORY: GENERAL: My So-Called Life

I can't belive it's Wednesday already. The best part of this week barrelling towards the inevitable weekend is that fact that Monday is Labor Day so I get a long weekend. Whee! My big bro is also flying in Saturday night (for work, not to see mee, natch), so double whee!

Life is chugging along at its regular pace. Work is getting increasingly more busy as I'll be moving into a hotel with my elders on September 10 for 5 days. And then again on September 24. And then again on October 8. Doesn't my life sound just absolutely impossibly exciting? :-) At least I get to fly to the mother land on October 12 for a nice dose of home.

I had a nice dinner last night. We were out celebrating Cat's birthday and went to Old Ebbitt Grill - my first time there! I chose the clam chowder and trout parmesan, and we very pleased. We all shared a few desserts; my favorite was the butterscotch blondie sundae. Slurp. I love dairy in all possible shapes and forms!! It was nice seeing the now-scattered urban family again. Maura is in Boston, Cat is out in Latinoville somewhere, and Jess has been MIA for some time. Either way, good food is always the most basic element of a good evening as far as I'm concerned.

I'm doing something weird this weekend - I'm attending the Maryland Renaissance Festival for some reason. Apparently, the appeal of wenches, knaves, the King's men and smoked turkey legs is too much for some people to resist. Color me sceptical, but I promise to take pictures of the whole scandalous affair and post them for the world to see.
