It's beautiful out! Sunny and warm. I just met up with Joel, his roommate Tim, and a friend of theirs named Mike for lunch in downtown crossing. Picked up burritos and smoothies (yummy!) and sat out in Post Office Square to soak up the sun. Finally! I didn't have a jacket or a sweater on. Yeah! We discussed life, liberty, and me writing a book with magic based on singing so that I could write off my voice lessons :) Which led into living in France (artists can work there for three months without paying taxes), becoming famous and rich and where we would buy homes when we had lots of money ;P I said Paris, the Cape and California, Joel and Tim voted for South Beach, Miami. So basically we just sat there and talked s**t for an hour and a half (oops! I supposed I should buy a watch, huh?) before I recalled that yes, I do have a job, and yes, to keep said job I should probably be there ;)

Last night was the charity banquet, which was a lot of fun. Hung out at work putting together expense packages and portfolio of investments (semi-annual period for three of my funds was April 31st) and then met up with Steph at the Omni Parker House. It was a beautiful, the banquet was held in the rooftop ballroom, the food was excellent, the keynote speaker both funny and relevant, and the people at my table were fun, too. There was Steph and her boyfriend Simon, Heather and her boyfriend (Simon's roommate) Jeff, Dave and Amy, and a girl named Catherine. So I wasn't the only single girl there, yeah! :)

I started reading a book by Diane Duane and thus far (twenty-six pages) like it a lot. Posted a couple of crits and need to do a few more. Am meeting Leane tonight for drinks, then have a barbecue on Saturday with pretty much the same group of friends that were at the charity banquet. Can't wait for the Alias season finale on Sunday - woo hoo! There's a rumor floating around the spoiler boards (yup, I have way too much time on my hands, why do you think I'm writing this? :P) that we're getting more SpySex! Yeah SpySex! :P And the delivery confirmation thingy online said that John got my manuscript yesterday at 11am. So now I'm just holding my breath waiting for him to call. Fingers crossed!
