The Samantha Files

Inconceivable!

Yup, my Secret Pal totally rocks.  I came home the other day to the sweetest package from my SP, a whole birthday box!  I'll post some pictures tomorrow or Saturday morning, but I will tell you that one of the gifts was the special edition dvd of The Princess Bride! 

So thanks Secret Pal!  I loved everything.  :)  What a great birthday surprise!

Kids These Days, I Tell Ya...

Kid #1: Paper beats rock. BAM! Your rock is blowed up!
Kid #2: "Bam" doesn't blow up, "bam" makes it spicy. Now I got a SPICY ROCK! You can't defeat that!

Home

This weekend, our best friend N. found out that he had to move out of his apartment (which is right next door - technically, on the other side of the fence).  We called our landlord who has a few places, one within walking distance, and N. is going to talk to the realtor who found him this place.  After talking to N., he's now thinking about buying a place... which would be great for him.

Honestly though, I’m really sad about the whole thing.  D. and I have been living in our apartment for about 8 years, and now our best friends live next door in 2 different apartments.  The ‘boys’, as I call them, moved in after we saw the addition being put onto the place next door.  Then N. moved in.  Suddenly, our apartment became part of a neighborhood.  A neighborhood of homes. 

Everyone’s definition of home is in some ways identical, while at the same time being very personal.

The last one is funny... did I ever mention we say Alton at Otto in NYC... very exciting.  I restrained myself from bothering him, only wish another guy had restrained himself... he talked to Alton for so long that his gelato was melting.  Shocking!

More to come later folks, have a good morning.
