Early Thanksgiving Dinner
Hi!! I know, I'm late with the update about Early Thanksgiving dinner...but I slept all day sunday to re-coop from the efforts of the weekend. Seymen and I were PLANNING on leaving the apartment, we were all dressed with coats on and everything...and then the Perfect Storm came on TV and that was the end of it for us. I went and took an evening nap and woke up late in the evening for dinner :-)
Anyway, the early thanksgiving was fun. Jena, Julie (From work) and I met up after work and had a happy hour (or should I say LATE happy hour because I had to work late) and then did all the grocery shopping for the party, and baked the apple pies. We finished around 2AM!!! The next morning, Jena and I were dragging, but via cell phone finally forced each other to drag ourselves out of bed and start cooking. We started at about 11AM and cooked straight through until 6:30 when the food was finally ready to eat! (Yeah, it was a little late in coming...we underestimated the amount of time for the Turkey to cook, but it finally finished cooking and we were able to feed our STARVING guests.) By the time everyone ate dessert, I was beat. I wanted to curl up on the couch and fall asleep...but they had Karakoe and of course I got all into it and even sang a song with Chau...even though we sucked and no one could hear us ;-)
Anyway...I think I might be turkied out in the next three weeks. Alex is doing a Turkey dinner on Sunday that Seymen and I are probably going to attend, and then of course next week is T-day! Yeayyyy!!! LONGGGGGGGGG weekend!!! You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to not only 1 day, but 2222222222222 full daysssssssssssss off of WORK!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :-) Hopefully that will be the case and nothing bad will happen to ruin that.
Let's see what else...Well I've made a new friend at work. Julie...She was an editor and has now become an ID. She sits next to Jena...so we got to know each other better this past weekend. (Not that I didn't know her because she was my editor on the project that I had when I first came back to LMNK)...but anyway, she's crazy funny :-) We had some good times friday night :-))
Let's see...I never did tell the exciting news of Maki...She's offically engaged! Her fiance Richard gave her the ring this past weekend. She came over last night to show me the ring and help eat leftovers. It's very beautiful! Maki is sooooooo happy...and Richard was able to participate in the Early Thanksgiving dinner, so all of Maki's friends were able to meet Richard finally. Seymen and I met him before when he came to Rochester a few weeks ago. I can't remember if I mentioned that. Anyway, he's a really nice guy. He even helped clean up!!! Mad points in my book there ;-)
So, that's my update. I'm beat. I just worked until 10:15...and my plan for tonight was to go home and just read a book...but now it's wicked late...and I have to go to sleep in about 30 mins. Ohh well...I'm gonna go and get at least 30 mins. of reading in. Iyi Geceler (That means goodnight in Turkish) :-)
