That Lean and Hungry Look...
Wow.
Went to the home of endlezzdream & backburner for dinner last night. It was exceptional, the only problem was that word got out that endlezzdream was cooking, and there were too many guests. They were all great people and I enjoyed their company, but I would have wrestled any one of them for their share. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess) the atmosphere was slightly more classy than that.
I'm DEFINATELY going to attempt to make the dish (I was in the kitchen being a "helper" and learning from the master) this week, I think.
Sebastian loved the dinner party, because there were so many people there to play with him. He loves attention and pretty girls. He got to stuff himself with chex mix, pizza, and some of the chicken dish (I parted with some of mine, since he's my child and I'm responsible for keeping him healthy -but it wasn't easy). He eventually fell asleep while we all played Cranium. A good time was had, and it didn't cost anything but half a tank of gas! On the way home, I got so sleepy I had to let Isaac drive. He's way better at driving sleepy than I am.
I drank bunches of wine, and learned the name of the new contender for my favorite - Rubigalia. NUMMY. Lambrusco better watch out.
Today is nice and quiet, and I'm enjoying the peacefulness of my parents both being away for the weekend. Sebastian's watching "Bear in the Big Blue House". I forgot how much I like this show. I think it's my favorite kids show. I especially love the end of the show when Bear sings a goodbye song duet with the Moon, Luna.
My downstairs neighbor is -again- having a bass competition with himself, and I'm actually not feeling as stressed about it. Usually when my floor vibrates, or I can hear this CONSTANT throbbing baseline from below, I get really pissed off.
Today I feel pretty calm, not sure what the plan is for this afternoon/evening, but I NEED to study Latin since TOMORROW is the first day of classes. Yay, it's Spring Semester! That means spring will come eventually. It also means I'm that much closer to transferring. I am so excited, I can barely contain myself. I want to move, with my son, to a school where I can focus on a career. Also, we would be living on our own there. I know it will be hard and sometimes I'll get lonely and maybe a little scared -but if we make it on our own at college, I will feel so much better about everything! I'll also be that much better equipped to work and move us to Chicago someday. I just can't wait.
