star struck

I've had a really star studded week so far. Last Sunday night my husband, brother and his girlfriend went to Lolita to have dinner and watch The Next Iron Chef. Michael Symon was there...just walking around, chatting & laughing with people. How hard it must be for him to keep such the secret of who is the winner! We sat at the round table, directly in front of the t.v. and had a really fantastic time.

Last night we went to CCPL's first Writers Center Stage event with Ira Glass and David Rakoff. David performed a piece about his childhood while Ira spun records. Then they were interviewed and the audience asked some questions. A high school freshman asked for some advice on getting into the business. Ira said just keep writing and coming up with ideas. He said that about 50% of the work is coming up with something to write about.

This week's big baby news - Monday I had a doctors appointment and we got to hear our baby's heartbeat! I also have started wearing maternity clothes.

We're having our Pumpkin Carving Party this Saturday so I have been really busy this week getting thing ready for that. I made 3 crock pots full of chili this morning!
