- Work: Work is insane. I have no other way to put it. If my head doesn't explode by the end of this calendar year I will be absolutely ASTOUNDED. I am in meeting after meeting after meeting about the large projects we are taking on, and just the *meetings* are a lot of work. We haven't even gotten to the real "work" of the projects yet! Thankfully I have a amazingly great team (Hi, K, J, A, S, M, F and A!). On Friday a few of us revived one of my favorite traditions, the "Ice Cream Benches," where we grab ice cream and then go sit on the little hidden patio down the hall while enjoying the summer warmth. Thank goodness for these sanity-saving kinds of moments!
- Home: I'm able to get around the house much more easily, as evidenced by the fact that on Friday night (gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!) I was able to get into my beloved hammock -- with J's assistance, of course. It was amazing, actually. The weather has been beyond beautiful the last few days, sunny and 80s. We worked in the yard yesterday (ok, *J* worked in the yard as I sat in the hammock and directed) until we were actually sweaty, and plans for the summer home improvement season are slowly taking shape.
- Friends: It was a great weekend to get together with friends. Cath came over for a visit and dinner at the King & I (Cath would say I still have squid breath from my dinner choice; I beg to differ). After, we listened to 80s club music and journeyed to Garth's to meet up with J and Kim and Dave and the assembled Geeks for a small get-together. There was "Rock Band" and munchies and visiting, which added up to a lovely evening. I didn't even get home until after midnight -- like a real grown-up!
- MBLF: Like I mentioned, I'm moving around a little more easily and am not hurting quite as much as I had been. I'm icing a lot because the swelling is a little intense but PT is helping the leg get stronger and my therapist isn't too worried that I'm hurting myself. I'm just going to keep trucking along!
And now J and I are folding laundry and watching that 1988 cinema classic Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama, which just issued the memorable line "I have your pants." A meta-statement for us all, really.

hey there! Thanks for the "J" shoutout! Yes, my head is swimming in a circle above me right now--if I get one more thing to remember at work--I too, will explode! :)
Ice cream benches....are they calling again this week?
Just for the record, food was horrible in Providence, so we are planning a Providence reunion in Rochester to which you will be invited.
Steve -- Sorry I missed it, but I'm up for the restaging any time! I am saddened, however, that my colleagues were unable to eat lovely seafood in my memory, as was promised. ;)
