sereneJust so you know, I have discovered that the best possible post-birthday-party breakfast, barring breakfast someone else makes for you, is leftover baba ganouj and the rest of the fresh figs. Mmmmmmmm.
So far, this has been my definition of a perfect weekend. Friday, we slept in and then ran errands -- I got my birthday shoes, we shopped for software I need for work, and we stopped by the Berkeley Bowl. Then we went up to the Russian River to hang with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sogwife at her place. Had really good Mexican food at a local restaurant, watched Matrix: Revolutions (blech). Had a quick chat with her dad, who I really like. Then drove home. It's so gorgeous up there. I love the smell of pine and the view is spectacular.
Yesterday, I had a lovely day, just lovely. Spent most of the morning puttering around my house (I don't say "cleaning" because that would imply I ended with a clean house). I really miss my place when I'm not here much, and it felt so good to just hang out in my space whilesomeotherguy worked. Felt like home. Then I went to the Berkeley Bowl for party stuff -- tons of eggplant, a watermelon we never ate, pounds and pounds of spaghetti, etc.
Once I got home, I cooked and puttered some more until folks showed up, and then I had such a good evening surrounded by friends. In attendance, said the name-dropper, wereloracs, golden_c_turtle & kamtraub, 7patches & the_ogre, wild_irises & ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
alanbostick, and the residents of this here place. Much food was consumed. Much discussion over semantics and politics and what-have-you was had. Much laughing was done. golden_c_turtle and I continued our holy war. wild_irises got the award for funniest mean-spirited comment (and if you know me, you know that's a compliment). 7patches got on a tear, and was a marvel to see -- she's usually very quiet in my experience. loracs did some dishes so I wouldn't be overwhelmed. I ate my weight in figs and gummy body parts. And much more.
After the party,someotherguy washed every last dish and cleaned up the apartment, so this morning I awoke to a clean house and a warm, happy feeling. Perfect way to feel before going on my birthday date with stonebender, which I imagine will be any time now.
Oh, and presents! I got lots of presents. Thanks, everyone. I love presents. :-) Maybe I'll make a separate post about them later.
