I bet you didn't know this past weekend was the 250th birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns. Man is that guy old!
MacBoyfriend and I celebrated by attending a Burns Supper event in romantic Leominster (honeymoon capital of western Mass!). We supped on haggis, tatties, and neeps while watching fat old men (though definitely not as old as Burns, and probably fatter) dance in short skirts. The bagpipe bands were beautiful, and made me want to pick up the harp again. Alas, my Craigslist searches are fruitless.
Additionally, MacBoyfriend started a new job Monday! Welcome to Part Two of Kate's Working Life: Two Incomes! With the economy in the tubes, I feel like we're getting away with something here. I can afford to open up a 403b now, and vacation plans seem a teensy bit more in reach. However, a painful budgeting session (re: MacBoyfriend manipulates calculator while Kate plays this) has shown I should probably cut down on buying lunch during work days. Boo.
This weekend my mom may fly out so we can drive the ol' Pacifica (that's Pacificar to the dude at my local Firestone) back to Buffalo. I'll try living life sans-car for a while and see how that goes.
Office Alert: We have rats in our office building. There have been at least four sightings in our kitchen. And I've heard them in the ceiling. Isn't working life GRAND?

congrats to Afton on the new job and to both of you on your dual income status.
rats are disgusting, but better at the office than in your house, right?
