Aquageddon

It was quite the week and weekend. Cambridge Science week, oil spill in the Gulf, car bomb in Times Square, unseasonably warm weather which made it feel like July instead of May, a new person in my life, and friends moving out of state. Of course this all pales against Aquageddon, which has to be the most awkward word ever. Just trying to pronounce it is like having a mouth full of marbles. The water main break that caused chaos for many communities was interesting to say the least. It made eating out a bit of challenge but was certainly not in evidence when I took this picture Friday night. I love walking over the Charles from Cambridge to Boston and the weather was perfect to do just that.

With all this going on, I managed to break a personal record by having three dates in the weekend. The record was the fact it was three dates with the same person. Another first was getting flowers on our first date. The special part was that he had the flowers delivered to the restaurant so when we walked in there they were! It was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. He is someone who was entirely unexpected but so very much fun. Dinners, desserts, flowers, and a movie I have been dying to see kept me entertained and up way past my bedtime. It was so nice to laugh and get to know someone new. It actually feels odd not having a date with him tonight but a busy girl needs some time to herself :-) And of course date #4 is already scheduled.

On the home front, my home office renovation is in full swing. I adore my new desk and can't wait for the file cabinet to arrive (especially since I got rid of the old file cabinet last week). I have definitely taken to doing a huge Spring cleaning and purge and the efforts are starting to pay off. Life is indeed good :-)
