Still no facebook! My hope that it will return is fading as fast as the likely hood of a kidnapped child returning after 72 hours. I am trying to keep my mind off of it; I just finished our annual tree trimming Christmas party invite and now I am searching for things I want to for Christmas so as to compile a list for Josh to shop from. It was his idea, but it's too hard. I don’t know what I want. I am torn between sweaters, camera accessories, and saving up to go on a European vacation, aka instant gratification vs. bigger picture.
I am meeting up with Micky for lunch soon, but first I have to train the temp who is filling in for Ursula this week. Training temp flashbacks are evoking uneasiness, but if nothing else it will remind me how good I have it with Ursula, as annoying, loud, and anal as she can be, she is still my little German workhorse.
I am looking forward to being off Thursday and Friday.
Rob & Jackie took us all out to dinner on Saturday at this really good restaurant in the West Village called Jane. It was really scrumptious. On Saturday morning Josh & I took them to brunch at Pete’s Tavern (it reminded them of an English pub). I actually miss them. They were the most considerate house and enjoyable house guests. Plus there were unstoppable, on the go all day and night soaking in as much as they could. They invited us to visit them in London. Since they are both retired principals they explained how their schedules were wide open, so if we find cheap tickets we are so there. Funny how things turn out sometimes. They left before we woke up on Sunday, leaving behind a lovely note of thanks, a bottle of red wine, and a box of fancy chocolates.
Yesterday my step brother Jason brought his new girlfriend by. They make a lovely couple. They stayed for quite a long time too.
He and his girlfriend were late arriving to our place because they were having a leisurely lunch at the Olive Garden. About an hour into our deeply enriching visit Micky and said we were off to sushi when Jason brazenly invited himself along.
Didn’t you just eat!?!?, I nervously inquired.
Yes, but he just want to hang out some more. As lovely as that sounded we were meeting friends who had made reservations at the busiest sushi place in all of Manhattan.
Josh and Suzie luckily got the pleasure of Peter and Jason’s vaudevillian type antics and was able to tell me all about it when I got home.
Now I shall get back to editing my story.
