all those things and then some
Aug. 14th, 2006 09:08 amThis weekend felt like a quintessential "stuff I do" sort of weekend.
On Friday, we went for a 10ish mile run/bike ride after work. We were on the Charles River Reservation trail thingie, and kinda kept going until Tim knew where he was, which was Watertown Square. It was a much longer trip than I'd expected. We rewarded ourselves with pizza, fries and beer, and then played Scrabble. Also dropped most of the mixCD challenge packages into the mail. Still a few to get out this week...
Saturday, Tim finished his dissertation! It is now complete and in draft form for his advisor to rip apart so the boy can do more work. Sweet. He doesn't know what he does with himself when not dissertating. It has been a long time. Perhaps he will learn more Scrabble words. I dyed wool in the morning 'cause the weather was cool and I could leave a pot on the stove for an hour -- now I have something to spin again. We had a simple dinner of zucchini latke-type thingies with yogurt, then went to Barnes and Noble. We meant to play Scrabble there, but forgot the tile racks, and I refused to play with my letters in my hand. He found a Terry Goodkind book, theorizing that when not writing his dissertation, he used to read and stuff. I picked up a million books and put them back because I have a ridiculous number on my to-read list. Went to Whole Foods on the way home and bought randomness, incuding a cookie that I'd finished by the time we got to the check out line. Also decided that I will earn a doctorate in American Studies and write a dissertation about millenial/gen-x Scrabble communities post-Word Freak. Home, Scrabble, including one game with six bingos (three each). Yay!
Sunday, we ate coconut/pineapple waffles for breakfast. I spun and played with Scrabble words. We biked/ran about seven miles. Tim read his book (he is done now - I wish I could read that fast). We went to Cambridge and I got my hairs cut and drank bubble tea. We picked up our veggies at our farm share, including 10 pounds of tomatoes. We had grilled swordfish with citrus pesto, wild rice, and green beans for dinner. I stayed up too late manipulating word lists. I need to go back to getting the words I know engrained in my head rather than playing with new ones.
And now, work!
