We hosted the bridal shower for a friend of a friend last night. It was a lovely event. The couple seemed so happy. We didn't have to plan anything, the food was brought to the house and their hired someone to clean it up. Perfect combo.

The food was so tasty. I especially loved these london broils stuffed with some sort of goat cheese and a pepper.

I was at Home Depot getting a new chiminea when we saw this sign. It seems like fear mongering to me. I havent even seen one here and as the sign says they only come out ever 17 years anyways.

I was quitely dusting blinds when I thought I saw someone move across the foyer. I knew (e:terry) was outside mowing the front lawn. The door was open, but he was right out there. I decided it was nothing and went back to dusting. Then I see someone pickup my laptop up off the the dining room table.

I confront the guy and he says his friend told him to pick it a laptop. He thought it was his friends house that looks just like this. Sure. there isn't even another house in buffalo that looks like this. So I tell him to get out and yell to (e:terry) who calls the police but the guy starts running. So I chase him to an abandoned lot between the "multicultural potential center" and a residential lot. He kept going into the field but I got weirded out being there by myself and called the police.

They arrived within two minutes but he had gotten away. I am so curious if he got anything else. Luckily, I had just cleaned out downstairs for a party a friend of ours is throwing here tonight, so I think there was nothing else to steal.

I wonder if he lives in the alley next to the dumpster. There were a lot of clothes and a shopping cart there.

Just got done working at midnight. Wish I saw more daytime. There are already so many roses and flowers in the side garden. Wish it would just stay warmer for the tortoise.

My new boss and had to attend a two hour meeting in Manhattan on Monday. We flew out of Buffalo at 10am and were home by 10:45am. 95% of it was travel time.

The meeting went great and the people we met told us exactly what we had antcipated they were going to say, which was a good thing.

The only bad part was getting soaked in the downpour. Next time I am bringing an umbrella. I can't believe I didn't thibk to bring one or at least my waterprood backpack.
