@Opheli8 You just jinxed it.
Enjoying fine beer at Merivale Chuck Hahn dinner. Yum!
Just waiting for the dessert… Getting a little tipsy! http://twitpic.com/18ws11
@Opheli8 It was great! The place wasn’t even full though; should’ve told you earlier so you could come. Good food and good beer.
@miss_reecie GAH. St. Brigid still has 3 seams and a collar to go. On the plus side, I know for sure the arms are long enough!
@DDsD Don’t even go there. If I caught this “bandit,” I’d tie them to the tree with their own stanky acrylic!
@bellsknits Thinking of coming to Canberra for Easter. Any hotel recommendations?
Where’s a good place to stay in Canberra? Assuming we’ve never been there before, and that we’ll have a car…
@bellsknits @drkknits Waldorf is booked out Easter weekend, sadly! Novotel looks to be about $250/night. Yikes.
Thanks for Canberra suggestions! Further info: thinking of a last minute trip on Easter weekend. And no, Sydney does NOT count. 🙂
@bellsknits Empty now? Or empty over Easter? If it saves me $700, I’ll drive 20 minutes happily! 🙂
@bellsknits Hm. Are you serious? I’ll email. Don’t want to impose, but that would be awesome. Me, Snook, & @eileenDCoE want to see the Art!
@bellsknits You might find your stash enhanced at the end of the visit! A secret visit from the stash enhancement fairies would be required.
@bellsknits I Gmailed you!
@witty_knitter Pre-sale tickets for the extended period went on today, so if we confirm we’re going, we’ll buy immediately.
Iron Chefs are cooking in Sydney again on June 6-7: http://twitpic.com/18ozm9. (Snook and I have been before. It’s once-in-a-lifetime!)
@witty_knitter Good tip. Thank you! Let us know of any other Canberra recommendations, please. 🙂
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! http://bit.ly/cB172j
@gilmae More like 29 and forty-eight months….
@missamanda I think so! Looks like Fiona from the first season: http://bit.ly/byRGuM
Flashblock has changed my life. Seriously.
@gadgetgirl70 Not unless the second time is free!
@Opheli8 @Whingeing_Pom The Saw Doctors are playing the Metro. We seriously debated on going…
@miss_reecie YOU. ARE. ON! And my first word was hilarious. 🙂
Birthday present from the in-laws arrived. Easy Tiger! http://twitpic.com/18pp8d Cuddliest dressing gown ever.
@Ezzles I’m so sorry, Erin. That sucks. I hope you’re okay.
The amazing @mrs_sockvictim delivered the amazing Barbie cake… and now I have an amazing sugar rush. http://twitpic.com/18qjd3
The only upside to having friends and family in a dozen different timezones is getting birthday messages spread across two days. THANK YOU, EVERYONE! 🙂
So today is my 33rd birthday. Man, that feels old. I was digging around this morning and found some photos from my 23rd birthday back in London, ten years ago today. I was living with the Notre Dame London Program then as an R.A. and working as an HTML developer at Netdecisions. A bunch of my work friends went out with me to Si Senor, the only Mexican restaurant I could find in all of London. (I think it’s since closed.)

There are more pictures with more folks from that night, including some of the students who joined us later. It was so fun. I can’t believe we were so young. I can’t believe it’s been so long since! (Hm. And I can’t believe I didn’t have ANY girl friends back then. Did I just hang out with guys? Quite possibly.)
Thank you to everyone who’s popped up on email and Facebook and Twitter to say “Happy birthday.” I also managed to score two(!) birthday cakes: a Spice Cake with Espresso Icing (courtesy of the Snook), and a “Belle” Barbie cake (courtesy of the amazing Miss Fee). The Snook and I are going out tomorrow night for the Chuck Hahn dinner, and then Thursday we’ll be seeing the premiere of KICK-ASS. What a great way to start the week!
* Yeah, the Snook serenaded me with the Michael Jackson birthday song from The Simpsons. Very sweet.
IT’S ALIVE! THE MAGIC PUDDING IS ALIVE. http://twitpic.com/18ggo3
Two birthday cakes – one with a Barbie on top! – is the very definition of “an embarrassment of riches.”
Cake #1: Spice Cake with Espresso Icing, baked by the Snook and currently on its way to work for sharing. http://twitpic.com/18mmaw
Cake #2: Belle with cupcakes! A wonderful surprise from @mrs_sockvictim. http://twitpic.com/18mmnw THANK YOU MISS FEE! 😀
@sharre @redambition @AusVintageGrrl Thank you! You’re all welcome to come eat Belle cake tonight if you’re free. 🙂
Welcome aboard to @kunaal84, joining the @Mobile_Active team today!
Awesome: today’s Guild meeting. Not Awesome: waiting 15 minutes for a Newtown bus NEXT TO AN ACCORDION-PLAYING BUSKER. (Headache.)
I think a fruit bat just pooped on me. And now I’m drinking merlot spritzer out of a plastic cup. Banner Saturday night!
