Back in America. For a while there, I wasn't sure the day would ever come. I didn't sleep for three nights and I went a little nutsy, but it was great and I'm great and everything is going to be great this month.
Long Beach is good, Kitty is good, my cousins are good, etc.
The Welcome Home party I threw for myself went off pretty well. I was going to talk about highlights, but they wont matter to any of you. Except for when Carolyn and Kim called me and I left the party for an hour to go talk to them and further plot out Spice Girl alliances. We came up with some good schemes (Shaunna, I'll fill you in soon).
Here's the thing, When people ask "So how was Africa?" I don't know how to answer. I mean, I can easily say, "It was great!" but that is hardly sufficient. Maybe I should ask if they would like to sit down and look through the photos with me and I can share some stories. I wish there was an easy way to express how Africa was. Moving on...
Today Catherine and I went to the city to get a table I bought off of some marymounter who was selling it on the facebook marketplace. While walking through the park to her apartment, I hear my name being called, "Lizz, Lizz Tooher," at first, I am confused because I forget that my name is Lizz, not Betty. I look over and it's a petite red-headed boy name TJ O'Brien! We chatted for a few minutes, Ken/Goat Boy showed up, it got weird, we left.
Getting the table to 3e was a pain. We had to take a van-cab and even then, we had to wait for one that would put the seats down to fit it. It's an awesome table. It's actually more of a bar. A great addition to 3e. Friends of 3eTake2, get ready. We are MiXiNg It Up!
I went to Brooklyn this evening and saw Catherine's new place. She made guacamole for us and her roommate, Chris. Chris is adorable, a really sweet guy who is a lot like catherine, except in a much more sweet and mild way. They both really love cats, too and have A LOT of cat paraphernalia around. Chris photocopies the crossword puzzle from the new york times everyday and brings it home from work so they can do it together. Catherine has dinner read for him when he comes home. (Tonight was Mexican night, thus the guacamole, I left before the tacos were ready). Then, they climb into the air mattress that the are currently sharing and watch whatever movie came in netflix that day (tonight was spellbound). The parent is great, too! It's bigger than 3e and they each pay 30% less than us in 3e will be paying this fall.
This month is going to be so busy and wonderful! birthday! wedding! disney world! all in the next week!
