Busy weekend

judecorpI often need a weekend to recover from my weekend. This weekend is no exception.
We got up early yesterday and headed into Boston to have haircut appointments with The Dark Overlord. (It wasn't the reason for our trip, but since we were going to be there, what the heck, right?) Haircuts done, we ate some lunch and headed up to Somerville to spend some time with Olex, and then went over to Shani and Matt's place because Jen wanted to go to a Game Night before the baby comes and we aren't as able to make 2 hour drives/4 hour roundtrips for board games. After Game Night, we went back to Olex and Jen's place to crash for the night. Good lord, I was tired. I'd gotten crap sleep on Friday night. But we got to see some peeps, including Ms. Katherine who is getting too cute to live.
We got up this morning, showered, and headed to Ball Square with Olex and Jen to eat at SoundBites. It was delicious and also full of Brazilians. I am usually a strict "bowl of cereal" girl when it comes to breakfast, but had chocolate chip and strawberry pancakes, and then Jen and I split an order of home fries and an order of sausage. The home fries were like fried mashed potatoes and I could have eaten 20lbs of them. I didn't, but still felt like I was going to die after.
We went back to Olex and Jen's place and played a game of "Last Word" with them, which was fun. And then we bugged out so we could drop in on Melissa (the wife of our illustrious mortgage guy) and their new baby, Nolan. We dropped off a little baby gift and hung out there for several hours, enjoying the breeze coming in through the open windows and the smell of the neighbors burning lawn refuse. Mmm. When I started to drop into starvation land, we bid our goodbyes to Melis and Nolan (sorry, Jeff!) and decided to check out this diner that Melis said had awesome milkshakes. Which they did. Even if mine was frozen yogurt. It was still tasty! So we pigged out AGAIN and then drove back to the Valley, stopping at the grocery store briefly before getting home. Thud.
And then I realized that we'd gotten a bunch of our next-door neighbor's mail, which gave me an excuse to go next door and meet him. He was very nice, and was officially the first stranger to assume I'm pregnant and ask when the baby is due. This means, of course, that I am in love with him.<3 <3 <3 I have major belly going on these days so it isn't surprising, but still gratifying after all of the crap I got in earlier weeks.
Now I have to get to the Sunday Ritual stuff. The garbage is out but not the recycle, the laundry needs to be done and I should unpack from the weekend. Jen's gotta do the cat litter (good times) as well. But we got the screen doors up instead of the glass panels which is SO NICE.
I have to be at work by 9am tomorrow to interview some potential grad assistants for next year. It stinks to go to work so much earlier than usual. But it will be SO gratifying to leave at 2:30 instead of 5, especially when it's expected to be in the 80s tomorrow. GLORIOUS.

Lies.
The whole trip was centered 'round visiting ME.
(... and it was very good to see you both ...)
