New York, New York

I went to New York Dec. 5-7 with my roomie Celeste. For further information, please see her blog. She wrote a very nice account of our trip, and I don't want to copyright infringe - or for that matter, write my own post.

Thanksgiving and other happenings

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Celeste and I dog/house sat. The dog, Bailey, is a chocolate lab that is super excitable. He jumped and ran a lot - and he was spoiled rotten. I was glad when we didn't have to watch him anymore. We also hosted Thanksgiving dinner at the house. Everything turned out fine, except we did have a minor turkey fiasco. Turns out their oven didn't really work, so Celeste had to take it back to our house to cook. We were planning on eating at 3:30, but didn't until 5:00. But all turned out in the end. There were 14 people there and it was a lot of fun with a lot of yummy food.

Kathryn moved in this weekend too. We're glad to have her here! But we had to move a lot of heavy boxes. She has so many books!

Saturday night Celeste and I went to the ballet. San Francisco Ballet Company performed Giselle at the Kennedy Center. It was very beautiful and sweet. I can't believe the things ballet dancers can do. Towards the end of the ballet the guy lead was picking up the girl lead like she weighed five pounds (she probably only weighed 90, but still). It was amazing and I'm glad we got to go. But I think I'll stick to salsa dancing.
