An even fuller week

This past week I:

• Attended a surprise birthday show for Lulu, in which Tiny Nettles played; ate the best (and longest? Most intestinal?) baked ziti ever, by Greg.
• Turned 24; received tulips, chocolate, and a beautiful leather leash (for the dog, not me) from my dear husband.
• Welcomed my sisters, Alex, and Eva for the weekend.
• Ran the Charlottesville 10-miler, didn’t die.
• Ate a celebratory dinner at Monsoon with family and friends.
• Enjoyed the company of many friends at The Local for drinks; felt so very blessed by each one of them.
• Went to the Gordon Avenue book sale, the best bi-annual book sale ever.
• Met a new calligraphy client to start on another job.
• Observed Palm Sunday; was reminded of that feeling during the Passion reading, “Wait, why do I have to be the crowd? I don’t want this part; it’s the bad guy’s part… Oh, wait. Right.”
• Watched Guion finish his master’s thesis, provided some opinions on last lines and em dashes; felt so proud of him.
• Felt very happy.

Love you all very much. There’s a complete set of the weekend’s photos on my Flickr and Grace also published a very nice weekend re-cap, if you’re hankering for more.
