It’s been a really fun weekend so far. It feels like it’s been longer than a couple days.
Friday night after work (after dropping off Happy D. at Planet Canine), Jen, Stella, and I headed to Sacramento to meet up with James and Tracy for a night out. We dropped off Stella at Nana’s house and said hi to Mom, who’s in town these days preparing to sell the house (and trying to deal with that reality emotionally). We rendezvoused with James and Tracy at Tapa the World on J Street. We powered up with some coffee and sangria. Then we headed to James’ favorite bar, The Zebra Club. After one drink there, we headed to Club-2-Me, further down J Street. We had a pretty good time.
Saturday we headed back home to begin cleaning mania and shopping to prepare for our dinner party. I did all the cleaning while Jen did the shopping and cooking. We had the FF kids and cohorts over — Katie, Jeanine, Tiff, Miguel, Isaiah, and Aniko. Jen made her famous lasagne and her newly-famous eggplant parm, both of which were a great hit. We all had great fun. Our neighbors Stacey and Tony were also having a party, so before our guests arrived, Jen and I had gone next door for a few. Later on in the night, Stacey arrived with a tray of Jello shots, which were a huge hit. She and Tony later returned with even more Jello goodness. They received several rounds of applause.
Today is a nice, chill day. I’m just IMing with Pete Dog and hanging out. We had some yummy waffles and fake sausage patties for breakfast and now we’re just lounging around. We may take the fur children to to the dog park later on.
