I am officially out of Sweet n' Low

*Party went very well! The weather held up until just before 12:30--I'm really glad we went with an early time.  Rosina got all sorts of really great cute and educational presents.  I probably should've told people not to feel obligated to bring anything, but by the time I thought of that, it was too late.

*My parents' visit was brief but pleasant.  The idea of flying up to New York with Rosina for a week over the summer is growing on me (especially if my parents offer to help with the airfare!).  It will be a huge pain in the ass, particularly if I have to schlep an enormous car seat and my work laptop through the airport (with Rosina in a stroller!), but probably worth it in the long run.  It will need to wait until everyone is settled in the new (3500 square foot!) house, so I have time to work on the logistics.  It would be nice to have a respite from the heat for a week in July or August...

*Mark and I are both feeling pretty rundown.  I don't know if it's the ridiculous humidity and nonstop rain, but I am just wiped out!  Since I'm not going to get home until 10:30 tonight, I was planning to sleep in tomorrow...

*Had coffee with Sandra earlier--it had been months!  Hopefully we'll be able to get together more often this summer.  I think the girls would have fun playing together, despite the age difference (her daughter is six already!).

*More Downton Abbey.  With one episode left in Series 2, I still don't like Edith.  Poor Mr. Bates!  And seriously, midlife crisis, anyone?!

*Tonight:  bellydancing and Starbucks (twice in one day?!  I swear, this is not on purpose.  I don't even like their coffee...).  Tomorrow:  thank-you notes!
