Yesterday I got roasted and toasted with my colleagues. The party was supposed to be a surprise but when I told them I was leaving the building for a doctors appointment they had to tell me. Which is really better for me because I've never been particularly gracious when the recipient of a big surprise. So I got to sit back with a giant martini and laugh at myself for a few hours. I'm pretty ridiculous sometimes, and my friends captured that very well. I was honored by the attention and effort and by the kind words that everyone wrote in the scrapbook that they made for me. Sigh. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Today I get to drive to Brooklyn for an epic hang with my girl! I get to drive there with my bff, lafm, who's going on to Newark to celebrate Molly and Thomas' engagement! I got them a 3-legged ceramic pig from Chile, a good luck charm:)
Just spoke with my mom who's getting ready to bring Enzo to his first dog training class...she's convinced that he'll be the valedictorian, smart little thing that he is. She's doing an amazing thing by fostering Enzo for us during this move. I know that she loves him, and he loves her, and I just don't know how it's going to be for us to take him away in December. I have to trust her that it will be ok but there are many times when I think he should just stay with her. But then again, it's becoming the coldest, snowiest part of winter and it might be really challenging to have to walk him on icy sidewalks...I just want Mom to have a companion, a fuzzy friend to keep her company. So I hope she can keep looking for a little black cockapoo or other grown-up little dog to call her own. At any rate, what she's doing now for Mark and me is invaluable and so, so appreciated.
