wow, this whole friday thing really snuck up on me. it's been a strange week. but, I can still find 5 things that made me happy!
1. the somewhat sneaky, self-satisfied smile on doug's face as he walked up to the table tif & i were sharing at Brazen Bean last Saturday night and watched the light dawn on me as I realized, "hey - that guy not only looks like the guy who is supposedly still in Massachusetts right now, but actually is that guy." a very, very nice surprise.
2. high tea at the Heathman Hotel with Heidi's daughter, Francesca, last Saturday was a real treat for me - and a great way for the two of us to celebrate her eighth birthday.
3. the movie Pan's Labyrinth is really, really good. to enjoy it like i did, watch it with someone you like a whole lot, while eating greek yogurt & fruit parfaits.
4. Kynthia. She just made me happy this week, on several occasions. Plus, she remembered Alan Rickman's name, after I racked my brain for it for hours.
5. the new Harry Potter film, The Order of the Phoenix: my favorite HP film so far. seen with good friends and smuggled-in Junior Mints.
speaking of Pottermania: tonight, Tif & I will be at this: http://powellsbooks.com/potterparty/. happy friday.
Looks like we have another place to visit the next time I am in Portland. The High Tea event looks spectacular.

sweet! i am touched, and i even have pan's labryinth sitting in my pile of netflix movies, so it's like i'm a part of Three of the happy things. i keep asking myself "am i in the mood for animated violence that many classify as disturbing but most also agree is brilliant?" or actually, i must not be asking myself that exact question, because if i was, when would i ever say no?!
you are now officially in my feedreading regimen. sorry for the delay. :)
and hey, what happened to THIS friday? ;)
