birthday surprises
I came to school today and got a mystery email from the EE front desk saying "perishable package for you, please come down to pick it up."
I first thought that perhaps it was a mis-addressed package for the MD with my name who works at the university hospital -- if someone looked up our shared name in the directory, they find both of us and they mighta sent it to me.
then I remembered itwas is my birthday (hm, complicated tense question there), and thought "who would send me a package at EE?" I suspected ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beckyb, who knows how to reach me there, at first, and I considered Advisor (though it is somewhat out of character, sadly). But when I got down to the desk, it was a flower vase from imtboo! yay for sweet surprises.
Earlier this week I received a box of homemade candied orange peels fromlapartera and a Damariscotta River Association T-shirt from trombo2. imtboo, blackwingedboy, and I ate a bunch of them (the orange peels, not the T-shirt -- dang co-reference heuristics tripped up again) while watching the Oscar nominations.
And tonight, a mystery. or something. I am told to get home by 6. So I think I'd better get some work done...
love to you all.

If I knew what my travel schedule was going to be like, I would reserve some time in a heartbeat. Maybe you could send me some info? My email is congogirl at gmail.

Check out the LFH website mentioned above; it's truly beautiful.
You obviously know the area, so I don't have to sell you there. These cottages are really quite relaxed and low-key -- for a summer week where you can just watch the water and relax: perfect.

many happy returns
Pooh looked on admiringly.
"I'm just saying 'A Happy Birthday,'" said Owl carelessly.
"It's a nice long one," said Pooh, very much impressed by it.
"Well actually, of course, I'm saying 'A Very Happy Birthday with love from Pooh.' Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that."
"Oh, I see," said Pooh - A. A. Milne
Re: many happy returns
how nice to read Milne.
I hope that
Re: many happy returns
+++++
Once you have experienced the pure prose of Milne, take a look at a book by Benjamin Hoff called "The Tao of Pooh"
Cheers!
