We interrupt my panic about my thesis with this brief announcement

after sitting second row center at my first Bra.di Car.lile concert (did you know she performs barefoot?) I am in lust. Her music is nice and all, but DAMN, in person she is soooo hot.

we now return to our previously scheduled thesis panic

We had the best weekend. Sat morning we sat on the stoop with CN (Crazy Neighbor)and had coffee. As each of our other neighbors walked by they stopped also. By 10 o'clock we had 8 people and 3 dogs hanging out on the stoop and drinking coffee, then we decided the hedges needed trimming, and some bushes needed moving, and some plants relocated... we had a great time.
My GF took off for a few hours to go see her grandmother and I went for a manni-peddi.
We went to my boss' house for dinner and had a wonderful time. My very shy GF fell in love with my boss immediately and was completely relaxed and chatting within minutes. I was hoping we wouldn't fall into the trap of discussing work, and thank the squirrels, we had so much else to chat about work never even came up. We all went for a walk along the river with their dog after dinner. The view of Manhattan was fantastic. Just before we got home (around 11p.m.) CN called to say that she had kidnapped our dog earlier in the evening, and we should call when we get home because the pooch was sleeping and she didn't want to wake her up and bring her home before she had to.
Sunday I through all the fixins in the slow slow cooker for a nice stew and crashed on the couch with the dog watching the first season of Dexter while the GF went off to see Granny again.
CN came over for stew and wine and then we all took the dog for her after dinner walk.
I am going to die of sleep deprivation though if Dis.covery Channel doesn't move the cool shows to earlier hours on sunday nights, cuz there is no chance in hell of me mastering the DVR.
