see leaflet

Jen threw me a little birthday party last night and it was great fun. There were two distinct subgroups of folks - the Boston TIM crowd and the coworkers. eeka and Molly bravely straddled the two groups and I felt a little bad that they were so segregated. My coworkers tended to dominate the kitchen and kept close together, mostly, I think, because Former Coworker Nicole was in town from New York and everyone wanted to catch up with her. Evil Jason stopped by on his way back from the airport (and Puerto Rico) making him the furthest traveler, along with his friend. Always a good time. So for everyone that stopped by, even for a minute - thank you. And a big thank you to Jen for orchestrating the whole thing and even calling my work! (And here I thought they were all going to Movie Club.)

I ate way too much junk yesterday, although I didn't eat much of the party junk. We had cheese and crackers, chips and salsa and dip, lots of candy, a strawberry pie, more chips, and of course cake. Jen and I ordered pizza before the guests arrived so we would have something that vaguely resembled food before we chowed on junk all night. I actually didn't eat as much as I usually do - a couple of chips, a few pieces of candy, a bite of pie, a slice of cake. Not too shabby... but man I need some vegetables in my life.

Jen and I went to see Jesus Camp this afternoon and it was incredibly riveting and frightening. I encourage all of you to see it, especially my smurfbrother who lives smack in the middle of Jesusland. (A lot of the movie was filmed in Missouri.) Then we headed to Roslindale to pick up a bunch of cardboard boxes that some dude listed on craigslist. Yay, boxes!

I tried to take this digital pregnancy test that Jessica gave me last time we were in Northampton looking at houses. It was left over from some of her friends. Anyway, I put the stick in and NOTHING HAPPENED. After about 6 minutes, the screen said, "see leaflet." WTF??!!? I looked on the box and saw that it had expired in Jan. of '06, maybe that's why? I don't know, but I keep cracking up every time I think of "see leaflet."

You're actually pregnant with an alien, that's why.

HAHA! ...maybe it's a guide to parenting...not that you need one...but as you WELL know...lots of people do... miss you! xoxo

I'm surprised that the line "Yay, boxes!" hasn't already generated several comments ;-)

I guess it would be a LONG leaflet!!

Sweet!

p.s. Thanks for the "Cecelia" phone call, by the way. I loved it!!

when you get pregnant, I'm going to call your embryo 'leaflet'.

Wish I'd known you were partying last night (though I was following up on another promise, and couldn't have made it), but happy b'day nonetheless.

Maybe the leaflet should have one of those "rub off" silver circles, where you rub it off to find out if you're pregnant or not! ;)

Scratch and WIN!!

When people started arriving, I asked Jen if she'd invited you. (She did all of this behind my back, the sneaky weasel.) She said she forgot and she felt really bad!! (And then I saw in your journal that you were planning to go to some event or whatever so I didn't call.)

Dude, don't call my embryo 'leaflet'! :)

yeah. some friends of mine did a play called 'The Margaret Ghost', from Theatre@First. But last week I was still really sick and no one wanted me and my coughing fit in the theatre. So I decided to go this week, but Thursday was craft night, friday I was volunteering for the Boston Babydolls Burlesque group, so last night was my only chance to get there.

I can prolly set you up with some boxes; let me see if the basement is still full of 'em.

I'm glad. Everybody was rocking out, even the ushers!

I always feel bad when my friends are meeting new friends too. No, wait... I...

Hmm.


It's not like we were holding them hostage!

You ARE quite dastardly. You never know.

I don't doubt it. It sounded awesome!
