You Say Goodbye...

2008-07-18T08:28:59Z

10 months ago to the day (left on September 18, returning on July 18) I stood in front of Peter's building as I went off to do errands and he left for work. We cried. Then he walked away, and I turned around and cried some more, then sat on a be...

Libby Leaves London

2008-07-17T12:01:11Z

So much has happened since I last posted. Pam visited for a week and we had a fabulous time doing touristy, and non-touristy, things in London. When she left, Andrew came, my Dad joined two days later, and then I graduated. Officially a "profes...

The Other Libby, Theater Director Extrodinaire

2008-07-03T23:45:10Z

She may think this review is average, but I think it's pretty great and prestigious for someone her age and experience. So I'm going to brag for her. And I'll let you know what I think, not that I'm as qualified as Michael Billington (a well kno...

Brighton Beach Memoirs

2008-06-28T22:54:02Z

I spent my entire vacation in Portugal, of which an update is imminent, applying sunscreen religiously. I used at least spf 40 on my entire body, only laid in the shade for the most part, and wore my cover-up and hat most of the time. Not only d...

2008-06-25T22:35:06Z

I guess something must happen to your brain when, after a period of intense activity, you shut it down almost completely for over a week. At least, I hope that's what happens because the only other explanation for my action this evening is sheer ...

Record Breaking

2008-06-24T22:59:57Z

This morning, the girls and I went to see the preview of the evening Impressionist and Modern sale at Christie's. While there, we admired this amazing, huge, Monet water lilies painting that was, at the high end, estimated at $47 million. Tonig...

A Little Bit Brit

2008-06-22T23:57:04Z

There are so many updates to write about. There's my trip to Berlin about three weeks ago, there's the Summer Ball at the Courtauld, and there's my trip to Portugal with my five closest Courtauld ladies. And I'm going to get to all of that, slow...

Done Doner Donest

2008-06-12T13:27:09Z

I'm done! I have completed my MA dissertation, and, barring any disasters, am on my way to receiving my degree! Pretty exciting. And, I have to say, this is the first time I have ever handed in a document that I have read this many times over an...

Copy Editing

2008-06-12T10:22:41Z

There is something about the repetitive, consistent nature of a bibliography that I am finding very soothing right now. I think its time to leave the library before I officially go insane...

I Skipped a Phase

2008-06-08T21:50:28Z

Apparently I have skipped the wife and mother phase and gone straight to being a grandmother. Last night, when I got home from a long day at the library, Jo and The Other Libby said they were planning on having a fun evening out on the town. See...
