I’m back from the Gilmore adventure, have finally found a few spare moments to fill you in on my life as it stands.

First of all the Gilmore adventure was fan-freaking-tastic. In bullet form, because it’s easier:

· We went on the Gilmore Diet. Which translates to a completely non-nutritional junk food fest: mallomars, popcorn, twizzlers, marshmallows, cinnamon toast crunch, reeses cups, milk duds, and diet soda (hehe). Not to mention the bottle of rum and numerous bottles of wine that we “chilled” in the snow outside our inn.

· About the inn, Pro: we had entire place to ourselves , Con: the owner was rude and dining area was under construction—but we did bribe a maid to let us use a few plates and a microwave.

· We received the immediate friendship of all of the locals (save the rude innkeeper).

· We watched somewhere around 20 hours of Gilmore Girls, ate lunch and dinner with the richest couple in town.

· I BOUGHT SHOES. (Mine are the metallic blue!)

· We had the world’s fastest wine tasting (10 wines in 10 minutes, I kid you not!)

· Went horseback riding-my horse, Rose, had horse ADD and scared me to death by suddenly making a break for a dead branch that looked tasty.

· We visited Yale and pretended to be students. I think our constant camera flashing gave us away.

· We had the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had at Louis’s Lunch in New Haven.

· We bought a liter and a half of wine and finished it all, in one sitting, at the little Italian restaurant where we had the best traditional Italian dinner and talked to the friendly waitress for an hour. The consumption of such a large volume of wine had our Richest Couple in Town friends whispering their concerns for our safety to each other, “There are only three of them” “That’s a really big bottle”.

· We spent way too much money, but had such a good time.

 

It was definitely a great way to spend my spring break. Unfortunately Spring Break has been over for almost a week and I’m still working on digging myself out of all the work that March always brings with it. I’m off to Binghamton tomorrow to present at my first conference, it’s exciting, I feel academic. After that this weekend is full of school work and midterms and work-work before the wonderful drunken reverie that will commence on St. Patrick’s Day. I’m super excited.

Then I’ll be crazy busy with organizing and running our university women’s studies conference for the next two weeks.

 

So, how are you?
