The boy grad student has been away at a three week training course (where they learn to do such things as insert tubing down the spinal cords of mice), but he came home for the weekend. We decided to be deliciously unproductive, and the highlights of the weekend included seeing Batman (go see it!) and noshing at The Counter. I think I could exist entirely on sweet potato fries . . .

This weekend also began the massive monstrosity that shall be known as Wedding Season '08 (and this doesn't include the wedding we already went to). I picked up a bridesmaid dress, dropped off a wedding gift (yay!) and am driving out of town to attend a shower on Tuesday. The shower is for a dear friend who has been a constant companion since we were two years old, so I am excited.
