Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I spent most of the day at Kaitlin's yesterday in celebration of Ollie turning two years old. This child has been in the world for two years, gosh. I sat and watched him and Emily play together and it was such a joy to see his enthusiasm and excitement while eating pretend food. He made…
What a grand weekend I have experienced. Yesterday morning, Kayla and I spent a couple of hours together sitting outside, sipping drinks, and enjoying the cooler temperature. So I got a leaf stuck in my hair at one point, no big deal, I am a nature goddess, yes? It comes with the territory. 😉 I…
Thursday, Elisabeth celebrated her birthday and so we ate dinner at Watercourse, a tasty vegan restaurant downtown. Brittany came with us per Elisabeth's request and the three of us laughed and enjoyed ourselves the entire evening. We ordered cheesecake for dessert and I surprised Elisabeth with candles and a match that I had brought so…
This past week was full of training in my department because we're hiring my new coworker, yay! I'm super excited to have someone else on my team, especially since he's a cool person. Introducing: Mario. He's a few years younger than me, wants to travel the world, and loves fairy lights. I think we're going…
The rest of my day yesterday was pretty magical. Elisabeth and I went to The Melting Pot where I discovered I had completely forgotten the gift card I had. It was a slight bummer but I figured it wasn't all that horrible because it just meant that we'd have to come back sometime. Oh darn.…
This weekend has been an absolute blast and I could not ask for a better birthday weekend, especially since it's my first one without Gene. On Friday, my work closed our office at 12:30 pm and we all went to Dave and Busters for a holiday party. I know it wasn't for my birthday but…
Elisabeth is turning 30 tomorrow (yay!) and so to celebrate slightly ahead of schedule, we went to Sushi Den on Sunday. Sushi Den is a high end sushi restaurant that Elisabeth fell in love with when her manager took her there a couple of times. This is the restaurant where fish is flown in from…
Gene and I visited my parents this weekend to celebrate birthdays and see one another. Kaitlin and Kevin came too and brought EG, who is now one year old! We played a variety of games, including Mysterium, a game that my parents got Gene for his birthday. I enjoyed it but I think we need…
Thanksgiving was lovely yesterday. It started with me dancing to music and ended with me winning a game and eating my homemade pecan pie. In between was filled with prepping the rest of the food, visiting with the housemates and our friends, playing Concept, and of course, eating. Everything turned out great - even the…
Yesterday was Elisabeth's birthday (yay!). Sidney was going to make Elisabeth's favorite Korean dish but she (Sidney) ended up getting a weird stomach thing and wasn't up to cooking. So we made some rice vegetable soup instead (cures all ailments) and watched another episode of White Rabbit on Netflix. I made a funfetti cake too…
