Category: Reading Together

This is what I’ve been up to for the past week:

I’ve never spent so much time on the couch. Constantly lying on my side is rough…
thankfully I am finally getting the hang of eating, reading, typing, etc. with one hand.
I even spent a little time online yesterday and today for the first time in a week.

This has been the week of wonderful news. Congratulations to my best friend Ranni, her husband Ricardo and their daughter Izzi on their newest addition: a baby girl named Liliana born at home on Christmas morning! And to two fabulous couples who recently have gotten engaged: my friend Charleen and her boyfriend Matt, and our cousin Rachel and her longtime boyfriend Ed! We are so thrilled for you guys and wish you the best.

UPDATED: Congratulations also to David for earning an A+ in his graduate level computer science course at Columbia!

I love having David home (and free from work) for the holiday weekend. Good eats (seared scallops, challah french toast, bagels with lox, vegetable casserole, spiced cider), awesome handmade gifts (from David’s folks), and great movies (Stardust, episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus). David has been such a trooper: He’s gotten a ton of things checked off our to-do list and has been waiting on me hand and foot (never once complaining, in true David fashion!). Such an awesome and supportive partner. I am one lucky woman.
