the most exciting things

Suddenly, we are very busy!
Poppy and Aaron are in town and me and Poppy had lunch today and the four of us are dinnering tomorrow.
It's going to be pretty swell.
I am thrift-shopping this weekend and I have an eye doctor appointment!
(Okay, it's not all bright lights and glamour.)

I think I have found the perfect location for my company's holiday party, we are cruising along on our preliminary work toward moving our office and I've finished a big project I had at work.

You should go read this because we ALL love Maira and it's wonderful.

I was looking at this space from a year ago and had a great time watching this.




I really should watch some episodes - I love it so much.

Today, this happened:




I felt compelled to defend this apple cake/pie thing K had made, which Youngest was eating.




Curry? Silly kid. Obviously it has apples and cinnamon and custard and...




And CURRY. It has freaking curry in it!
Of course K totally blames me as he says I switched the positions of the curry and the cinnamon in the spice cabinet. And he fed it to Middle and his buddy and ALMOST got away with it.
I think I'm going to wait for the next great apple dessert.

Poppy and I walked from 19th to 49th today, at a decent clip I might add. While standing at the corner of 21st, I looked across the street and said: is that Oldest? And she said something like: well, I haven't seen Oldest in a few years but...and it WAS Oldest. He was on his way to a meeting and he walked across the street and hugged us like we were old friends. It was the funniest thing seeing him just then...almost as all the funny things Poppy and I talked about today.
She's one of my very first internet friends and I luff her and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow evening.
