Since it is almost the weekend, I thought I would finally blog about last weekend.
Friday night we went out to this great restaurant, La Belga, down the street from us. For a while it was the “hottest seat on 8th street” when it opened last summer. It was decently easy to get reservations now though. We met up with our friends Erica and Wilson. It was really great food—European fusion and they specialize in Mussels. YUM!
Saturday was quite the busy day. We got up and did some minor picking up and things like that. Then we had book club; we read The Life of Pi, which I really enjoyed though was slightly annoyed at the ending. The discussion was great and everyone was enjoyable. We are reading Blood Meridian next, which I guess is supposed to be a gory western (can you tell I was the only girl present this time at book club). I am excited to be exposed to different genres and authors. It is good to leave your comfort zone. Please send any good book club reads on to me—we are starting a list of suggestions.
After that we had a dinner club—wine and cheese at Tonya’s along with some modified trivial pursuit. It was fun and I ate too much!
After that, we—Ed Sarah and I--rallied and left to go out at 10 p.m. like we used to do when we were young!! We met up with my co-worker whose sister was in town. It was the sisters 21st b-day. There was a little excitement when we were pulling up into a parking space and this guy who was pulling out of the one in front of us backed into us (so we thought). He peeled out and whipped around the next corner. I think I would have been in too much shock to react, but Ed whipped after him. We were in this quasi-high speed chase until he finally pulled over. No damage, but something was up because he did NOT want to stop to see if he had caused damage. Anyway, we finally got to the club and it was pretty chi-chi except as the night went on we realized maybe the clientele was not quite as hip as the locale. My co-worker was more drunk than her sister and kept losing her balance. The pinnacle of this was when she face planted it into the coffee table and broke like 3 glasses. She was fine so it was funny. It’s been a while since I have been around such crazy drunkenness—but it was fun. I played the role of the wing-woman for Sarah which was weird because Ed to have disappear for a bit. I felt like I was being a little deceptive, but I guess that is how the game is played. I then kind of left the group and left Sarah to chatting. I guess the guy Sarah was talking to commented that I am really into “that guy” (aka Ed). Um, yeah…you could say that. It was funny.
So we got home wicked late, but it was fun. Good to get out and be young and stupid, ya know? Needless to say, we slept in the next day and then resumed adult-hood: got groceries, did some x-mas shopping, etc. I started getting a cold which I had all day on Monday.
Monday was jury duty as you will recall from an earlier post. I didn’t get called and spent all day bored sitting in a room. If I had felt well, it would have been a great time to catch up on reading, but I didn’t so I was basically miserable. We got left out at 2 p.m. though, so that was sweet. I did NOT go back to work.
Does anyone watch the office on NBC? Erica recommended it to me so I watched it Tuesday night. SO FUNNY! It is produced kind of like Curb your Enthusiasm on NBC, but I think the content is funnier.
Last night Ed had Lions Club where we was the acting President because the current president is in the hospital. The old ladies are getting REALLY old. One of them commented to Ed that “we are all dying off.” For those of you who don’t know, Ed is in a Lion’s club with 20 or so women and the median age is about 85. He is the only male and the only one under 75.
