10/16/10

1. Somehow waking up naturally rather early for a Saturday (8:30!) and getting in some internet stuff and blogging done.
2. Perfectly poached eggs in my Eggs Florentine at brunch.
3. Beautiful, sunny day with blue skies for our walk and picnic in the Morris Arboretum.
4. Lazing around a bit between coming back from the arboretum and going out to dinner (so many food-related activities...hmm). I watched the most recent episode of Glee, which I really quite enjoyed. Original songs and choreography, no particular ham-fisted theme, and some attempts at character development (Brittany the dumb, slutty cheerleader feels just as lonely as the flamboyant gay kid, Rachel actually using her outsider status to sympathize with someone, etc.)
5. Getting dinner at a Burmese restaurant in Philly's Chinatown. First time I've had Burmese food, it's the cross between Thai/Malaysian/Indian food that you'd expect it to be, given its geographical location. I'm a fan.
6. Hanging out at a bar with all the girls plus EN's friend M. Spirited conversation throughout the day, and M and the others being so kind as listen to me ramble on about wedding plans and validate some ideas I have to avoid the patriarchal giving away of bride business.
