Weekend Recap: I'd rather have it fatal

Friday night was most of my fun. Went to the MSMR dinner w/ DB for work. Got to dress up a little, thanks to Jenn for dress and shoes, and had free food. Drinks were not free, boo! Chris Gabrieli spoke and I thought it funny that he said we need to get kids interested in science and then after the dinner db and I went to see 'The Happening' and Marky Mark was a science teacher. Perfect solution! The movie wasn't that good, how could it be if it's an M. Night movie, but it was fun to see Marky Mark in this role. How far he's come since Fear, still one of my favorite movies ever! W/out Marky Mark I would be complaining so good thing he was cast. That's all I'll say.

Saturday and Sunday had me at work again doing rounds. No seminar to give today so I could have had some fun but db took off early on Saturday. After work on Saturday I didn't do much. A little laundry, a little cleaning, watched some movies. I did go running though, 5 miles. That was good. Sunday after rounds I went to Trader Joe's for some food. Then did some more running and watching movies. Eventually made it over to rr/j's at 10pm for the celtics. missed the last train so had to walk home at 1:15 this morning. didn't get to bed until about 3. i'm tired today. no the walk didn't take me that long, it's only about 35 min.

(yay, i'm now caught up!)

Weekend Recap: The Lus come back and I'm stuck at work all weekend

So P Lu and Dan came back to Boston on Thursday and Friday before they flew back to Kansas on Saturday. Thursday night they met db and I at Zen, the sushi place downstairs from my apt. We had plenty of soup and sushi, again playoffs were on the TV. silly to think the celtics are still playing basketball. does it ever end?

after sushi we walked over to finale. i've tried to go there w/ them 2 times previously but it is always too crowded. good thing this thursday night we could get a table. i was dumb and got the boston cream i think it's called. too chocolatey for me. should have gone w/ something else, next time i guess.

friday night we met the lus again. this time in the north end at lucia's. it was good too. i had the sea bass. i can always use more fish in my diet. then it was to mike's where i got stuff i shouldn't have that isn't that good anyway. i got halfmoons just because they were there but i shouldn't have because they aren't that good from mike's. anyway we proceeded to that new little park there w/ the water you can walk on and the chairs so we sat in the chairs and ate. eventually we called it a night. it was a little late and i had to work the next day.

spent saturday and sunday doing rounds at work and then staying at work to work on the seminar i had to give that monday. no fun for me. it sucked because db was staying all weekend and we spent the nights sitting in my place while i worked on my seminar. at least i had some company.

Weekend Recap: A reunion weekend

This is from May 30th weekend, long ago I know.

First, Friday night I had a reunion w/ Mark at Lir. Hadn't been there in quite a while as last time we met I think we tried BHP, and that was so long ago. Just not the same for a Mark/Heather outing. We need the Lir bartenders. Had our usual good time w/ plenty of beer, some food (goat cheese pizza and fries for me), awesome music, a little dancing (don't tell, Mark's shy about his dancing ;0)

and the Celtics.

Mark is one of my most faithful blog readers. He always comes prepared w/ plenty of questions about the people, places and things I talk about. This time though was a bit different. He brought a little notepad he kept pulling out of his pocket to ask questions and to write stuff down.

He claims my blog contains plenty of movie-worthy material which normally would sound just silly but Mark actually makes movies so maybe one day it'll really come true. Gotta turn up the heat. There's plenty of other stuff that just has never made the blog for various reasons that I also tell Mark so there would be some juicy surprises, and definitely a fair share of nudity, boyz and grrls.

This guy stole my stool. The worst part about Lir is they take the stools away around 10 or 11, boo!

Next reunion was w/ the vet school girls and their hubbies. P Lu and Dan flew into Boston from KC and picked up me and Cleo Saturday evening. We made the trek up to S. Paris, ME getting there by 11 I think.

Jen had our fav raspberry chipotle black bean dip ready for us when we arrived.

James was sick so soon went to bed. The rest of us played Life.

Dan was the winner. Nice job Dan.

He decided not to go to college and became a pro athlete. I went to college and became an artist making no money, nice pick of the cards I had.

On Sunday we all went to Freeport including Cleo and finished off in Portland where we ate dinner and met up w/ DB after his trip to Montreal. For the first time, I, Heather Rose Martin, had a real boyfriend, not a fling or a secret thing, to introduce to the gang. Hummm, wonder what they thought? I heard James thought he was a playa! haha, because he talked to some girl in the restaurant or something. Silly James.

Jen named her bunny after me, Heather.

Beaky-woo is on YouTube

She's been having lots of pain in her back right leg lately and I'm just not convinced it's totally real. She's been acting all mopey and not very interested in life. Tonight I took her out to potty and she howled her head off when she squatted to pee. This happens almost daily now when she squats to pee or poop. But then she'll pull me around outside like everything is fine. So I decided to take her on our usual run that we haven't done in a while. She did 3 miles perfectly fine and then we came inside and she was all excited, totally opposite of what she's been lately. So I took a video of it. Too bad she's been back to her howling in pain self since the video but here it is anyway.
