This weekend I spent some time around the house doing some pleasure reading, getting enough sleep for myself and trying to figure out the best way to pay my tuition bill that is due on February 2nd (damn mandatory student fees). B has been getting back to making chain maile stuff again and I pulled out an old sewing project that's been sitting since the fall. I'm almost done cutting out all of the numerous pieces of fabric, liner, interfacing and tulle (one more piece to go and then I can start stitching). I'm giving myself a realistic goal this time . . . I want to finish it up in time to wear to the most formal Convergence event in late May.

We spent a lot of time this weekend poking around the nooks and crannies of Boston (this week it was the downtown crossing and common/gardens area). Its amazing how many little treasures are hidden in Boston that I've never seen despite living here for my whole life. We found what was called 'the smallest bar in Boston' and 'the oldest Italian restaurant in Boston' - I'd like to sample them both soon before we forget about them.

Yesterday we attended Bedlam http://www.gothicboston.org/misc/bedlam/ - as I get more in the mindframe of being a student I've been digging out my old literary gems from their dusty hiding places and reading again (heh, perhaps I'll even start writing again). I'm really ready to get back to school now . . . I'm kind of thinking that I should have enrolled for more than one class this semester but I guess taking it slow isn't too bad of a thing.

And tonight we'll break from our social-hermitdom once again and make our way to Ceremony to see Ash, Arcanus, Lady B and Scissorkiss. I think I'll actually get dressed up nice for this, for once (despite the 19 degree weather that is expected).

MMMMMM, I like my life - twas truly a magical weekend and should be a nice week too (starting back to the gym today too and I can't wait)!
