| Tried to sleep, laid there for quite a while, didn't work. I am excited for Marc's party and am happy that some people are coming :) My mom is bringing lasagna, Estelle/Haris will cook/bake something, Jun/Iris/Andres/Cyprian will arrive with chicken adobo. I plan on making chili, a cheesecake hopefully and then... if I have enough time... empanadas, but not the Filipino way. They'll be more like curry puffs or samosas. If I make them. Oh and rice krispie treats! Yummy and easy.
Fun!
Handmade Arcade is next weekend (Saturday). That will be fun also and I'm probably going with Sarah.
Thanksgiving/misc. recap:
Thanksgiving was good although Marc was sort of hard to handle the whole time. We had... turkey, filet mignon, mashed potatoes, squash/zucchini/broccoli, corn and lima beans, green bean casserole (I don't know how my mom made it SO good...), stuffing, sweet potato praline thing, cheesecake, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, pineapple.
I slept over that night and Manny and Marc went home. The next day my mom made turkey noodle soup and I went shopping with my parents and Estelle... ended up getting two pairs of skinny jeans (14-some each) and a cardigan at JCPenney.. and some tights at Express. All were gifts for my birthday/Christmas! My mom doesn't really do the whole wrapping gifts thing anymore and the funny thing is she will still probably have something for me (for Christmas) whenever we do exchange gifts... (we won't be here for Christmas and neither will Estelle).
Marc is identifying/naming letters everywhere (knows most of them). Some shapes (circle, heart, star, oval), colors, numbers (0 - he usually says O though, 8, 4, 3, 9 (sometimes confuses with 6)). I think I might've mentioned both those things in a previous post... hmm. The past couple nights/mornings he's lifted up my blanket and snuggled up right next to me (and falls asleep)... won't sleep on his own pillow.. with his own blanket. He tells me "no" sometimes. Says "bye bye"... "hi" occasionally. A few more examples of words in his vocabulary: apple, noodle, milk, juice, ball. There are a lot of things he identifies/understands, but doesn't say yet consistently. | | |
| I had fun :) Sarah met us there and it was great to see her, but she left early. Two of Estelle's friends came with us (Andrew and Ben) and another guy met up with us a little bit after we got there (Chris). Everyone was nice and I think I was anxious for nothing. I want to try out Whim and Diesel.
The Ritz cracker peanut butter 'sandwiches' I made and tucked into my purse came in handy not while clubbing, but... a couple minutes ago. Good snack. Bed now... good night! | | |
| What on earth am I doing up at this hour? I did it again. Was browsing through old entries... My, I used to be so bubbly and happy, head in the clouds. What happened to that girl? She's long gone... and in her place is someone a little bit more mature, more grounded... more cynical, more prone to unhappiness.
Came across a couple quotations in my entries. One is from the movie Elizabethtown and goes something like, "I'm impossible to forget, but hard to remember." And another is one I used to have in my AIM info which is roughly, "The heart has reasons that reason knows nothing of." | | |
| The JCC is pretty nice. Marc and I played in the family room (don't know if that's the name) today with a bunch of other kids and parents. Looking forward to Friday when we will probably try out the little shallow pool (with Manny, after he gets swim trunks and goggles, probably from Dick's).
It was drizzling this afternoon and a little before 4:00 we had just left the JCC after spending a decent amount of time there. I was pretty hungry and two of the women there were talking about Taza 21 so I started craving a chicken shwarma wrap. When I got there it was 4:00 and there was another gentleman waiting outside. (Taza 21 is closed from I think 2-4:00.) We chatted a little bit; he is a professor at CMU. 4:20 and the owner (Frank) hadn't showed up and I didn't want to wait any longer... left. He went to get some coffee and said he'd be back.
Talked with Estelle about this Saturday. Some people have gotten back to me, but I don't think any of them have really confirmed for sure... anxious. | | |
| Some things will never change. Why am I up so late again?
I guess I was feeling nostalgic... maybe that's it... and I decided to browse through my old entries after making my previous entry. I glanced at, skimmed, read pretty much every one starting at the first until I came across this one: http://jaz1yn.xanga.com/302991301/item/
I need to sleep now. | | |
