Lately, old friends
This past week at work I had too much to do, while my motivation has gone from fairly low to damn near nonexistant. (However, I was a good girl and called financial aid, so I know where I'm headed.) This is going to be a long damn week, and not just because of the book. CSI reruns on Spike didn't even provide as one of them had sort of lame mysteries and a lot of crazy!Sara, who annoys me, and the other one had a mystery cleverly borrowed from a famous Agatha Christie novel and therefore I called it 15 minutes in. Also, Nick's fringe is too long and it makes him look short.
The weekend wound up being a little bit busier than I'd expected. Quiet Friday off and then an unexpected brunch with a friend who was in town for the day. (I also now have a new bookcase, but since unhappy things happened as a result, I'm sort of sorry I have it.)
My old college roommate L was also here for the weekend with her husband, son and daughter and we met for dinner Saturday evening. Her husband B also was in our college class and it was nice to see them; I used to visit them nearly every year for a long weekend or so but hadn't got up to their place outside Boston for a few years. Amazingly the kids remembered me pretty well. Their trip was planned around a visit to American Girl Place for their nine-year-old daughter who, being her mother's daughter, loves the historical dolls; her favorite part was having their special high tea. A's been a big fan of high tea since she was about three so I'm not surprised. We had a lovely dinner at a seafood restaurant at Rockefeller Center where the three of us shared two tasting menus. (L is a huge foodie; she used to mix up spicy peanut sauce in our college cafeteria.) The next morning we met up with my friend S, who was also a roommate of ours, and her husband and son for brunch before L's family went to the American Museum of Natural History for dinosaurs. So much fun to see them!
