Saturday Night Dinner
So Elena's been home for a few days now and I must say its really good to have her home. Its going to suck having to take her to the airport in two weeks, but I'm trying not to think about that and to just enjoy the time we have together. Hopefully she'll be back for good soon, and if not, that's OK too.
I saw her Friday and she was exhausted. Jet lag hit her hard. I know the feeling, all too well. Unfortunately for me, usually the day after I fly into NY from London I have to work the next day. She was just sitting around the house, so my level of sympathy wasn't too great. We just hung around her house, ran some errands, went to dinner with her parents and watched some TV I had taped for her on my laptop. And then she passed out a little after 9 PM on Friday.
Last night her and her parents along with a bunch of other people came over to my house for dinner. Although it wasn't so much as dinner as it was a feast with the way my mom cooks when she entertains people. Tons of food, all of it good. Everyone was stuffed to the gills, and the most important part, was the homemade cheesecake for dessert. That stuff is worth killing for, trust me. It has its own reputation that proceeds it. Good stuff.
So it was a really good time had by all, considering everyone left well after midnight. Lets see, it was my parents, Elena and I, her parents, my parents friends, my friend Seth and his girlfriend, my friend Brett and his fiance and Elena's cousin and her husband came by for dessert (no one would pass of cheesecake!) I'm really glad that everything went so well and it was definitely nice to get together with all my friends and all our significant others, since we all haven't been together for awhile.
The plan for today is pretty nonexistent. Elena picked up a few wait shifts at the restaurant she works at, and she's working this afternoon/tonight. Thankfully, so far she's not working too much, although I did have to talk her out of working this Thursday night, since it is the last episode of Friends ever and I thought it would be nice to watch it with her for a change instead of having to tape it on a computer and mail it to her. So she gave me that. All told I think she's working tonight, Monday night, and Friday night. Everything else she's working so far is a lunch shift, which is fine with me, since I have to work too.
So thats about it. Good stuff going on and I couldn't be happier, for a change. Hope everyone else is having a good weekend or at least trying to. Adios for now!
