Saturday evening was my thirtieth birthday party/adoption shower. It was really lovely and wonderful - we ate a lot of ice cream and cupcakes, chatted until late in the night and generally had a good time. Thanks to the great generosity of my friends and family we are now $1000 closer to paying for all our travel expenses and now have lots of clothes, linens and a very cool doll house for the girls. I feel very, very lucky to be surrounded by so many great people. Ariel also made a very close facsimile of my dream dining room table from Crate & Barrel - he took four hours, a $50 piece of plywood and made the beautiful table top that you see above - it sits on our old dining room table and can seat ten. I am still celebrating my rather self centered birthday countdown. Ar finished a big job today and I don't work, so tomorrow we are heading out to Westport to surf away the beautiful day.
For any of you looking for a film recommendation - we just finished watching The Long Way Round - Ewan Mcgregor and Charley Boorman made a documentary of their motorcycle trip across the world from London to New York - going East. It was fantastic - and would have been perfect, except their fondness for the F-word made it strictly late night viewing in our house.
