another year older...

but am i another year wiser?

had a fabulous birthday weekend. help a party at my place thursday night. so great to have a houseful of friends. really made me realize how many good friends i have -- and i am so appreciative of that fact. it also made me realize how i wouldn't have been able to make it through my recent tough times without all my friends. i gave out little gifts to various people for categories like "best eVite respond", "name rhymes with Jelly", and "coolest person i know from NH".

saturday night i went up to boston for rosie's semi-formal. (friday i went to filene's and splurged on a new dress, shoes, earrings, and a clutch/bag. i was very happy with my dress: long brown -- didn't make me look/feel fat!) i headed to lori's and we went to fanueil hall for some delicious lobster bisque in a breadbowl.

rosie's party was actually held at jasper's. it was half slow white, half BU people, but it was 100% fun. too much to drink, as usual. good to see everyone: drew, jason drucker, miller farina, chelsea, hammer, pass, evan, dan, siona, adrienne, kat, holzer, lindsay, jono... kris kelly didn't make it out :( the party got busted up by the police around 2am.

spent sunday hanging out with lori and JJ -- we watched 'wedding crashers', and had cookies. then i had a long drive back to CT. i stopped at boston market at the first service plaza and got the 3-side meal. yum! called home to wish dad a happy birthday, had a nice chat with both him and mom. finally getting more comfortable sharing things with them about lab, etc. then i watched my sunday night TV. all in all, a very good birthday weekend.
