PassOVER

Passover ended last week and things are getting back to normal. It does feel like a new year after that major effort., Trying to get the house cleaned up and life organized. I've stopped eating chocolate for awhile since my candy eating was getting out of control at work. My theory is that if I can give up bready goodness for a week, I can stop the candy frenzy. I do plan to go back to good chocolate once I'm out of the KitKat habit. Now if I could stop the wine and stinky cheese situation. I basically shouldn't have an open bottle of wine or good cheese in the house during the week because they call to me at night.

We saw Jason Webley on Monday at ONCE Somerville. He played some great new songs and told stories. It was wonderful to hear him again. Amanda joined him for a few songs and I got to meet (and hold!) Ash. The tallest and most alert seventh month old I've ever met. Last night the kids and I went to see the Progressions dance concert at Brookline High. A good show as usual. So lucky to have the resources of this town.

We're in for a busy weekend, with a bat mitzvah, a play and a birthday party followed by Mother's Day. My goal is to go to Veggie Galaxy and see the ocean. Maybe smell some lilacs. I'm easy.

Just downloaded the new Jaggery album. Thursday we see Jherek at Cafe 939. Everything's coming up tulips!

Time for more coffee, but not chocolate. I swear.
