My family is lovely: my sister & niece brought me wonton soup from the best noodle place in Chinatown. (If only I had thought to ask for spicy pork noodles I could put in the fridge for tomorrow!)

It took me a couple of days to get around to it, but the bread pudding from the Irish pub down the street is as wonderful as I'd imagined. Also served in portions of about a pound, which completely makes up for the relative skimpiness of the (tasty) beef stew. And choosing to go to a college hangout on graduation night meant no loud crowds and lots of attention from the cute bartender.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Your poor mom, Sara!
I just went on the Somerville Illuminations tour with my family, although not on Jon B's trolley. Ah well. It was fun, although the city as a whole is falling down on the decorating front.

Yeah, it is for the best, just sad she's feeling so sick that she's missing it. She was all "I know how important it is to PJ" and I had to get all DUDE on her. PJ gets it, she'd love to have you there, but not half DEAD. It's sad for all of us, but unavoidable.

Then put go to bed on your to do list and it will all work out.
I have 4 boxes ready to ship. And two kids who are crawling all over me. I need a better plan that includes my kids and me not being trapped in the house all afternoon.
