dicky’s 60th birthday.
taking dicky to foxwoods for his bday, and him winning lots of dough at the dice table.
the super88 food connection, and the frogurt at cafe angora.
blue ginger. although i’ve now been there about 7 times and have yet to see ming.
d starts her new job today.
finally, no one got engaged this week.
i just can’t watch the mtv spring break stuff anymore. it’s just plain awful.
baja fresh, especially getting coupons for free tacos and burritos.
driving through the new big dig tunnel and over the zakim bridge on opening day. sort of unimpressive. and of course, there was traffic.
finally seeing the rest of blue crush
homemade pizookie
yinner ate calf’s brains tartare in paris
i finally got a box of thin mints. they’re already in the freezer

daveg and lisa got engaged
finally, some nice weather. i even ran in the park on saturday.
both kirstin and salila matching at their top picks.
new green bo.
olive’s. only we would go all the way down to soho just to get a sandwich. a lot of the time, our cabs cost more than the actual meal.
shopping for new smell-good. i think we found one.
i found some one to sublet my room. now, we just need to find an apartment…
otto. despite what a lot of the reviews have said. who knew that raw fennel seed and bottarga (dried and pressed fish roe) would taste good on pizza? and olive oil and sea salt gelatto? and cold octopus?
watching the oscars on tivo at steve and lisa’s. the best way to watch it. skip all of the crap.
the only good thing about the war is that there’s stuff to watch on tv.

saxe and aly got engaged this weekend.
we had the most productive saturday ever. except for forgetting the boxes at my parents’ house.
we’re done registering. finally. buy us stuff.
chocolate fondue at the b-side lounge
baja fresh has finally made it to massachusetts. 20 minutes door-to-door. and one will be opening at faneuil hall soon. yes, i am excited about this.
susanne finally replaced her 6 year old running shoes.
pancakes. what’s not to love?
8 of my group od friends from brown have gotten engaged in the past year.
i think it was in the 50’s this weekend.
girl scout cookies

wedding plans are kicking into high gear
we ate like italians all weekend. except for the vietnamese food on sunday
‘ino. we’re definitely the only people there who would rather eat at the bar than at a table.
3 hour naps
i think we’re getting old. we didn’t make it to midnight either night this weekend.
the apartment search has begun. anyone know of a 1 bedroom in my neighborhood with hardwood floors, laundry, dishwasher/disposal, lots of closet space, and parking?
the restocking of the mama patel food. including pea balls!
d got a new job.
lunch at the delamar. totally blowing away all expectations.
84th st. is soooo good to me. i hope i didn’t just kinx myself
for a few hours on sunday, it sort of actually felt like spring was coming soon
it snowed 46 days between november 1, 2002 and march 6, 2003. thank you matt saxe. geek.

the meeting of the parents. painless and pleasant.
at one point, i had 5 different cars to get out of the garage with my card.
we finally “registered. although we still have more to do. don’t worry.
blue crush. although we still have to see the second half of it.
the apartment search begins today. know anyone who wants my room?
not that i don’t love my roomates, but it was nice having the place to ourselves this weekend.
i was craving pizza all night last night. guess what i’ll be making for dinner tonight?
