Get Your Hands Dirty

 

35_10

From here.  I love the idea behind this poster (and you should follow the link to see what the whole thing really looks like).  I do find it funny, however, that I … don’t really get my hands dirty – unless of course the cat is on the keyboard.  I’m all digital all the time, which is … interesting.  I do write in my notebook, but I’ve started working in Evernote all the time for work, and I’m moving towards Evernote for personal things as well.  I like being able to search, cut and paste, etc.  I do get my hands dirty when I’m in the garden, but this oppressively wet summer didn’t allow for much of that.  My next home project includes making an old door into a chalkboard with chalkboard paint, and building a better changing table. 

Today has been a complete and utter Monday for me – I forgot my blackberry, my ipod, my lunch … and half my brain it seems. Weather is beautiful, but certainly not summer.

Last night we had a great dinner in the North End – although the feast of St. Anthony made it hard for us to get home.  I’ll let Stephanie blog about the food, but here’s a teaser:

That’s right, three cannolis, an espresso and some Grand Marnier.  Life is good.

 

Here’s the parade that went by…

Friday… what a wonderful day

Yesterday was just gorgeous out, and we went for a nice after work walk to Jamaica Pond. Then we grilled steaks outside on the BBQ. Oh wonders of late Spring/early Summer! Tonight we’re going to Ten Tables in JP to celebrate my aging process, and Saturday I’m regretfully off to London for a week of work. Don’t know how often I’ll be updating. I have a bunch of stuff on my camera that I need to unload, and holy host of work to finish before landing in London.

I found this from Neil Gaiman’s blog – haunting, creepy, and beautiful.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend….

I didn’t even read the article, I’m just a little bit insane for Tina Fey.
