Updatin'
Taking a moment to take a moment. I want to write down what's been going on lately or I will forget.
On Friday evening, B. and I tried a new restaurant in the crazy new living / shopping / dining compound that feels like something out of a cartoon. I had two strawberry lagers and crunchy rolls and edamame and miso soup because that is what makes me happy no matter what kind of sushi restaurant I'm in, and he had some kind of pasta with pesto and chicken and andouille sausage. Honestly, the avocado eggrolls with the honey cilantro dipping sauce might have been the best part. Also, it was freakishly cold that night.
I was a good student all day Saturday and headed out that night for an engagement supper for my co-worker's son. It is strange to go to weddings and wedding-related events for people when you don't really know them but know their parents. I've always felt very firmly that weddings should be about the couple's friends and not the parents', but I know that's not the way it is in real life sometimes. I love my co-worker a lot, so I went, and it was at a VERY FANCY HOUSE that felt like something out of a very classy episode of Cribs and I definitely enjoyed the wine, fried zucchini, pasta, salad, and bread pudding with bourbon sauce and visiting with co-workers/friends.
Sunday is a blur ... Sunday, Sunday. Oh yeah! I had a late morning coffee with my old friend Herpreet, and we had a great visit. She gave me a 33rd birthday gift that made me cry into my hazelnut latte right there on the patio. Sometimes it is very strange to think that I have now known people for longer than I was alive when I met them, and that applies not only to elementary school friends now but high school friends. Life is going by really quickly but I steel myself against panicking about it on a daily basis.
As for entertainment, I am loving Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale, which is no surprise considering that I also loved The Goose Girl and Enna Burning. I have The Darjeeling Limited and Romance and Cigarettes from Netflix, but there's no telling when they'll actually be watched.
Work is hard, I might fail one of my midterms, and my house is DIRTY. But azaleas are blooming everywhere around me, and somehow that makes it all okay.
