Day After Christmas

Merry Crappy Day After Christmas!

I have lots to catch up on, but first I must report that aside from all the Christmas festivities, Miguel turned 40, and I am only now recovering from what developed into a raging, full-fledged cold that endured the entire Christmas weekend.

Last Thursday night, Miguel and I joined Nichole, Luis, and his parents to see a play -- called Tempodyssey (which sucked royally, BTW) -- in downtown DC. Afterwards, N & L had to escort the parents home to an early bedtime, but I took M. out for imbibements at our favorite DC bar -- Saint Ex, where he officially turned 40.

Here he is climbing the stairs from the downstairs bar after a few beers...

Happy 40th!!!

The next day (Friday), I surprised him with this little cake...


And numerous candles to extinguish...


We also tried out a new Thai restaurant for his birthday lunch and while waiting for our food, we took photos that we thought might be worthy of CD cover art...


Here was my attempt at artsiness:


And Miguel's:


I think I win.

Anyway, lots more has happened, of course, such as JM's annual Christmas party Saturday night, Christmas Eve with M's brother, and Christmas at my mom's house all day yesterday, but I'll talk about all of that in my next blog entry or this will be a mile long.

I'm off to the elliptical now to burn off the 1,482 Christmas cookies I ate over the last three days... later!

Happy B-day Miguel!!! Sigh, I miss DC! Glad to hear you had a good holiday (despite the cold - that was me last year for new year's eve!).

Love the second pic!

Sorry about the cold. I've caught it now myself.
