Another year older...

So, according to Rob I am now officially wicked old after my birthday yesterday. I don't really feel any different, but I'm certainly not as young as a I used to be. I spent my night at a wonderful dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with Lynny (who came all the way from Brooklyn, which is on a planet called New York state), Marie and Chip, Rob, Laura and Guy. It was delicious. Then Lynny and I grabbed a bottle of wine and watched the game. Thank goodness my Red Sox won for my birthday.

Then this morning Lynn and I joined Mark for some breakfast at Persey's, and that was also amazing. I've eaten well this weekend! I took Brody for a nice long walk, and yet he's still all sorts of crazy. It was actually not a bad day out today, although quite windy. I'm not ready for it to be cold.

So I survived the beerfest last weekend with Steve, Erin, Matt, Joel and Rob, and then I went on to Atlanta for a baby shower for Marie and Chip, which was also great. It was crazy flying on 3 one-way tickets, 3 airlines through 5 airports in one weekend. Busy. Still tired.

Fall is always busy; I've got about 2 more weeks of soccer left. This is by far the nicest group of boys I've ever had. They are so sweet. Normally I've hit a brick wall with them far sooner than this. They're just a nice group, they work as a team and they're coachable. So it's been fun...would like a couple more wins though to end the season closer to .500.

I have to decide what to wear to school tomorrow. I'm doing this thing, mostly just to entertain myself, and because a former student did it last year for an entire school year; I'm trying not to repeat an outfit for as long as I can. Haven't yet. Now, obviously, you math geeks out there know that with permutations, if I have X number of pants and Y number of shirts it could easily be possible not to repeat a whole outfit. But what will get tough is whether I wore these pants with this shirt, blah blah...So we'll see how long it lasts. Can I go a full marking term? Maybe. I did buy a new sweater or two today...I have an obscene amount of clothing. But it's kinda fun, and it's good, because it makes me wear things I otherwise wouldn't, just for the sake of variety. OK maybe I'm crazy. Or maybe I'm just trying to rationalize owning like 8 pairs of black pants. They're different. But who else would ever notice enough to see that they're different? This one has a gray pinstripe, this one's blue...yeah.

OK well I have to assume baseball watching positions soon. Can they do it?

Thank you for your busy weekend as we loved having you with us at the shower. As for not wearing the same outfit twice, you do have a ton of clothes so I don't think it will be a problem for you.
