Feel better, feed face
Last week, I managed to get over one of the worst illnesses I’d ever experienced in my largely healthy, hale, and robust life.
Then I proceeded to eat my way through the week.
Wednesday night, Holly, Max, Lindsi, Seppo, and I met up at Henry’s Hunan, where we had pretty standard midweek Chinese fare accompanied by kick-ass company (along with a waiter who was clearly psychic). Seppo and I were still getting over the end of our bouts with the flu, but it was a good time.
Saturday, we started off the day with Vik’s Chaat Corner, followed by a dinner with a bunch of peeps at Rubicon (Seppo’s review). It was nice to be dressed up for a change. The food was fantastic, although the people who interacted with the server more on the other side of the table said that they were getting a weird vibe from her. Max brought us our printed invitations. They are really beautiful! Woo! Afterwards, we convened at Holly’s for a little hanging out, punctuated with rounds of Katamari Damacy, a truly bizarre game. “I can feel the cosmos!” Indeed.
Sunday started out late for me (Seppo, as usual, was up hours before me) but Alex and Tracy brought Mobi’s new favorite friend Maddie over for a couple of hours of hanging out. We let them play out in the backyard. It is sad how desperate both Alex & Tracy and Seppo & I are to have our dogs tire themselves out playing. Maddie is a very sweet black lab, and she easily dominates Mobi, but he’s more motivated to challenge her constantly. Mobi has a thing for dominant females. Hee hee.
We then got dressed up nicely again to pick up Seppo’s mother for a dinner at La Suite (Seppo’s review). We planned too aggressively and ended up in the city a full 40 minutes early, so we headed over to Max’s house to drop off one of my older unlocked GSM phones (and charger) for his trip to London.
We then stopped by a little store that sold various expensive, useless, but cute goodies, where Seppo’s mom purchased a couple of candlesticks.
We got back home early enough after dinner (this is what happens when your reservations are for 5:30pm) to start assembling some of the invitations, as well as try to print out the response cards and make the map & directions card. That part was harder than I thought. But I’m sure we’ll get this to work.
The end!
