Well, for the past couple of months I had been lamenting that almost every event I wanted to go to in September was on the 18th. It actually became like a little private joke with myself. "Oh, look, [person or organization] is having a [type of event]. I bet it's on September 18th! Ha ha ha!"
And I had finally, sadly, reluctantly, narrowed it down to just two events that I would actually attend. And as it turned out, I only attended one of 'em, and that only for about 10-15 minutes. Life is funny sometimes. Of course, mostly that was because of the torrential rain we were having (our little piece of Ivan). It was also partly because I found out at the last moment that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
plaidder was going to be in town and could come over to visit on Saturday morning. So I spent the morning hanging out with her, which of course was fun (have I mentioned lately how much I adore plaidder?), and she seemed to enjoy playing with Isaac, who is quite different from the last time she saw him almost a year ago. ;) We were sad that retch couldn't make it (read: was asleep the whole time ;) ) but oh well, maybe next time.
And then he napped (edit: Isaac, that is. Notretch.), and then it was 3:15 and the WGBH Ice Cream Fun-Fest was only till 5, so I threw us together and we jumped in the car and rushed over there. It had stopped (or at least slowed down) raining but was still very chilly. It was a pretty sad event compared to last year (when it was sunny and gorgeous) but we downed some free ice cream and then left. I didn't want to stay out too long as Isaac has a bit of a cold. He sure enjoyed the ice cream though. ;)
Then we got home and ate real food and I was feeling too antisocial to want to go tosunspiral and roozle's party. :( Ah well. So we just went over to grandma's and spent the night. On Sunday we mostly just hung out and took it easy, which was nice.
( car stuff )
By the way, I did figure out why it was that so many events were on the 18th. It's because that was really the only Saturday in September that things could be held. The 4th was Labor Day weekend, the 25th will be Yom Kippur, and the 11th, well, the day will come when people will schedule their parties/yardsales/etc. on September 11th and not bat an eye, but that day has not yet arrived.
Coming Soon: an update on Isaac, about whom many exciting new things are to be said. :) In the meantime, have you checked out my post entitled "Where are my child's pants?!"?
