Apparently, our neighborhood was settled by the English in the 1600s. In 1690 the Indians burned the town and all the villagers fled. Pretty interesting, huh?
So today is my birthday and I actually have the day off, just by coincidence. I've done some cooking, shopping (nothing fun), and I got a slight haircut. Have decided to let it grow, though I don't know what I plan to do with it. It seems like another marker to indicate change right now though.
We drove to Boston yesterday to go to Ikea, and, missing one sliver of a turn, ended up circling The Commons! While not what we had planned, it turned out to be less of a nightmare than we expected. Even during the 3 months I lived there I never drove downtown! We got to Ikea and got a chest of drawers for the guest room, a coffee table, and a rug for the dining room for less than what it cost today to have our heating tank filled! And we do need a place for Matt to put his clothes while he stays here with us (which we still don't have dates on.)
I think I'll enjoy what snow is out on the marsh still. From the comfort of the chair in front of the window, while knitting a baby blanket. And drinking tea. Aah.
