this weekend i celebrated reid's birthday, met an old highschool friend, and moved a couch with my del sol. i ate out way too often and grace got pigtails.* and the best news of all, Mary is BACK. and she brought cake. we LOVE her.
the couch is very comfy, and very large. i'm not sure where to put it. did i mentin it reclines? i might build a shrine to it, but that won't help the space problem. i think next time i see matt i'll insist he help me re-arrange the living room over and over. he'll like that.
grace is walking and talking up a storm. she said hi to every patron of uno's on sunday. and clapped when her daddy won the raffle. if i had children they would be painfully stupid and scream all day. emily's talk at 14 months and take naps with a smile on their face. best not to tempt fate.
holly and i had dinner with our friend from highschool, christine. who was expecting to get married and make babies any time now but who's plans have been diverted. it was a long night. we all fell asleep watching a helen mirren/robert redford movie that i can't remember the name of.
