wonderful weekend!
So tomorrow is my official birthday, but we celebrated on Saturday. SO MUCH FUN! It was honestly one of the best birthdays ever, and the dress I wore was fabulous! I didn't get a full length shot sadly enough and the other pictures weren't wonderful, but are pretty cute so I will post them shortly.
Anyway, Friday Ingela and Meg came into town for Ingela's birthday. A bunch of her Jersey friends came too. We went to the Continental for dinner and then to see Ok Go! at the TLA. I stayed with them at the hotel, and Saturday we had lunch in at Reading Terminal Market. It was freaking crazy because of the flower show and the nice weather. We walked around the city, went shopping, and I found the most fabulous dress at a ghetto store called Eternity Fashion or something like that. It's so cute though! Saturday night we went to dinner at Tamarind on Front and South. There were 13 people there! Then we walked to Cuba Libre to dance and almost every came! I had so much. The Consultant met us there outside with his friend Mike. I was happily toasted, but not sloppy. I had at least one Mojito, but I'm pretty sure I had more than that. Not really sure. We danced and danced for maybe 2 hours. About 15 minutes before they closed, The Consultant invited us to his apartment for some specialty shots that he got all the fresh fruit and stuff for. They were very tasty. He made this blood orange and pommegranite one. Yum! With daylight savings time and everything, it was really freakin late when we got home. I had such a great time, and only a tiny headache the next morning.
Sunday I hung out with Liz and her roommate, who came up from Maryland. They left in the early afternoon and I met The Consultant after a nap. We had some pizza and walked around a bit, then went back to his apartment (which is freakin gorgeous) to watch Amelie, which I had never seen. We actually did watch it, FYI. He got me kettle corn and everything. :) We made out .... he's a really good kisser, but I stopped short of having sex (I actually stopped short of taking pants off), because we just met and I seem to have a history of jumping in bed with guys - so I thought I'd show a little restraint this time. of course, I probably won't be showing toooo much more restraint, but we will see. I'm totally into him, and it's a little unsettling and destabilizing. I am not used to getting worked up by guys ... I mean, I usually am not like wondering all the time if they will call me, or getting excited to see them - and I usually don't bother waiting to have sex with them (even if "waiting" just means like waiting 2 weeks instead of 2 days or 2 hours as the case may have been in the past). It's because I like him and blah blah, but I'm usually very confident and independent and all of these great things, but bring a guy that I actually like in the picture and turn into this .... other girl that I'm not sure about. It's still new and whatever, I'm certainly not one to rush into "titles" and whatnot, but I like him and he clearly likes me. But while it's clear, he still plays it pretty cool most of the time. It's obvious to me when we are together (and probably to everyone that went dancing with me on Saturday), but it's not like he calls all the time or anything like that. I'm really good at being very "oh, we'll just see what happens ..." when I'm not that into a guy. And while I'm like that with him, I'm also half tempted to run the other way. Besides having a history of sleeping with guys very quickly, I also have a history of falling in love quickly - which are not, incidentally, all that related... (different men).
Tomorrow's my birthday!
