I got together with my friend, Jen, after work last night. We chatted (and laughed) for a few hours at my place then headed over to Hanover Street for dinner. Once again, we ate at Mother Anna’s. I got their amazing baked ziti since I knew I’d have left overs for today’s lunch (I even remembered to bring it with me!).<\/p>\n

Since the weather was so nice (in the 60’s even after dark) we got some cupcakes at this new(ish) pastry shop called Lulu’s. It occupies a tiny story front toward the begininng of Hanover Street and is retro-decorated with an old stove and miscellaneous old kitchen appliances and utensils. And the cupcakes aren’t half bad! Mine looked so perfect you’d think it was fake. But it was a moist chocolate cupcake with shiny chocolate frosting (with the name “Lulu’s” written in icing across the top). Inside was a yummy, gooey blob of peanut butter cream.<\/p>\n

When Jen left, I returned to my photo project (removing photos from albums, sorting chronologically by date, and scanning them). I’m pleased to notice that I seem to have photos from nearly every year of my life (save for a few in the 70’s and early 80’s when I didn’t own a camera…I suspect my parents have photos in their albums, though). It’s amazing to see how much you change….particularly how you change\u00a0from a younger adult (early 20’s) to middle-aged adult (mid-30’s). I mean, going from a child to an adult you expect major changes as you grow up. But once your’e in your 20’s you’re done growing. Differences from that point on are mostly a result of changes in fashion (oh those glasses – what was I thinking) to good old-fashioned aging (wrinkles, greying and thinning hair, expanding belly).<\/p>\n

Here are a few that I’ve scanned so far. Over the next few weeks, while I work on this project, I’ll probably post a photo or two here and there from various decades. When I’m done, I think I’ll blog one day with a photo from each year of my life. That could be interesting.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here a few from the past decade or so:<\/p>\n

1996 – Here’s me and Matt* in our first apartment together. Ah, such luxuriously long hair I was growing.<\/p>\n

\"960914<\/p>\n

1999 – Here’s me and Matt in New York City. What was I thinking with those glasses?<\/p>\n

\"9904<\/p>\n

2004 – Showing some skin<\/p>\n

\"0407\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

*Wow. I think this is the first time I’ve posted photos of Matt since the beak up (nearly two and a half years ago!). Should this be cathartic or something?<\/p>\n
