I’ll just use the body to stage an elaborate farce a la Weekend At Bernie’s
I had a great 5 day weekend back North.
I got to spend Thursday with my parents (yay birthday too!). I had my first of 4 birthday dinners with them. A lovely crab stuffed tilapia and broccoli (so yummy). And I got some fun orange kitchen stuff and a tank of gas for my birthday. (Um…the tank of gas was an awesome gift!).
I spent Friday afternoon with my sister L at her new place in North Jersey and got to see my adorable nephews and niece. And I got to watch Fragglerock with J and H. I LOVE that show and I was so excited to watch it again. That evening I went out to dinner with P for my second birthday dinner. We went to my favorite Turkish restaurant in Weehawken and I had the awesome lamb and yoghurt meal. I miss that restaurant SO MUCH!
Saturday was spent in the city with P. We hung out in the Village and SOHO. I love the city. Miss it so much.
I love the first moment I step into the city and just feel like I’m home again. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling. Most people I know get a little stressed and freaked out when they enter the city, but I just relax and get a feeling of peace. It’s weird. I just feel like it’s where I belong.
Later that night, we went to L’s house for my third birthday dinner. It was a meat smorgasboard. They made ribs (Oh my god AMAZING ribs), steak, burgers, sausages, and hot dogs. There were also some fun side dishes, but I was in such a meat coma I barely even noticed.
Sunday was back in the city for my 4th birthday meal at Sushi Samba. Which is an amazingly weird combination of Brazilian and Japanese food, that was incredible.
I had a great birthday weekend and now I want to move back to the area again. I was kind of depressed when I had to go back South yesterday.
I was also supposed to go running just ONCE this past weekend…but didn’t get around to it. Apparently I was too busy eating. I was a complete lazy ass. I’m hoping that all the walking I did this past weekend will help make up for it.
I was also supposed to run 8 miles today, but I’m just exhausted today, so I completely bailed and spent the afternoon sitting on the couch watching TV. Which means tomorrow is going to suck. Because then I HAVE to run the 8 miles. Sigh.
Anyways, back to watching TV.
Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend!
