Saturday was knitting, Ugly Betty, and dinner at Oleana. Holy smokes that place is amazing.
Sunday was a bike ride on the Minuteman Trail to Bedford for ice cream.
Monday was a barbeque at the park, and then Wits and Wagers (so fun!) with friends.

It's 2011! Do you say "twenty eleven" or "two thousand eleven"? I went through all of 2010 saying "two thousand ten."
(I sent out a few New Years cards, which I thought was a clever way to give me a few extra days to get them in the mail.)

Boxing Day
I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly did. I talked to Phil on the phone (he's visiting his family in Portland, and I am still here in Cambridge), and he told me that my Christmas present was hidden in the closet! That man is so sneaky. And he has excellent taste - he gave me a chunky oatmeal colored sweater. Just two days before I had stopped at the goodwill on my walk home from lab and bought myself two more. My collection is becoming quite impressive.
I had Christmas dinner with Marie and Will. We made two dishes from recipes out of her Trader Joe's cookbook. I made garlic mashed potatoes because I don't think I've had a Christmas without mashed potatoes. For dessert we had a brie fondue, also from TJs, with baguette and green apples. And I made mulled wine, which no one liked but me so I had quite a bit of it. :) After dinner with watched Despicable Me. It was adorable.
Today I had grand plans of post-Christmas shopping, but then I realized there was a blizzard warning. Which means the three miles or so between my apartment and the mall become much longer. I still got bundled up and walked to Mass Ave and Harvard Square for a look around, but I didn't end up buying anything. I did stop at Whole Foods just before home and bought some more coffee - Marie and Will gave me a french press for Christmas (yea!) and I used up the last of my beans yesterday testing it out.
It is still blizzarding and blustery outside. The scene outside my window looks sepia toned. I don't mind a night in if it means a chance to knit, drink chai tea, and watch movies with Rizzo curled up next to me.
