nice.
things i’m loving lately:
- it has been a little crazy around here with visitors, dogsitting, and piles of work. matt has been really patient and fun through it all. he is my hero/favorite trooper.
- my brother is here and we’ve been having lots of fun eating really fatty food. i would say we’ve been doing more, but that’s really about it.
- to thank us for watching lucy, a-game has dropped off not one but TWO homemade pies in the last week. the first was coconut cream, the second was banana cream. both lasted all of 18 hours in the house.
- the garden is growinggrowinggrowing. the vegetables are just starting to get going, but the greens and herbs are kicking butt. it is such a gratifying feeling to be cooking and just run out to the garden for some kale or some basil or whatever. i love it.
- songza. playlists by genre, mood, time of day, activity. it’s been getting me through this last round of finals.
- benny has a weird scab on his neck that he can’t stop scratching so he is confined to the cone for awhile. it’s a little pathetic, but really hilarious watching the conehead bump into walls and try to squeeze through doors and such.
- one more week until the end of the quarter!!! and i’ll be done with full-time classes FOREVER. FORREEEVVVVEEEEERRRRRRRR.
- a very dear friend is pregnant and i’ve been creepily demanding regular pictures from her. she emailed me an audio file of the baby’s heartbeat today. listening to it gave me chills. i found it to be really humbling for some reason and can’t wait to meet her little gherkin.
- due to my brother’s visit, we have been checking out some new restaurants. we went to lao sze chuan and had their famous dry chili chicken. oh my god it was spicy. matt was red and sweaty, my brother sweat so much that it collected at his earlobe and slowly dripped off as he ate, i started sweating only from the left side of my nose until it creeped over to be full on nose sweat.
- i am proclaiming this summer: summer of fun 2012.
this is sid aka uncle thid. he is one of my very oldest friends. our parents met at the community pool, put uncle thid’s big sister and my big brother in preschool together, and introduced us when we were tiny babies. since then, we have attended preschool, K-8, and high school together. we lived together for 2 years in san francisco. he is like my family.
uncle thid arrives tomorrow morning to visit with the boys and me for the weekend. he wants to: eat fattening food, hang out with benny. phew. good thing we are all on the exact same joy-inducing page.
SORT BY COLOR
finally, excel. sheesh. (sorry for the nerdiness, but come on. this is cool.)
It’s the little things. Like sorting and filtering by color in Excel. Do you code? Do you code things, import them into excel, sort, code, and then add colors to the cells? Did you know you can sort by color? It is amazing. Also, must I be so easily amused?
just submitted my form to receive my masters degree.

the new class at my gym
makes absolutely no sense.
