Thanks to everyone for a lovely Monday with friends! We got to catch up with Aprilyn, June, Lani, Michelle & James, Jessica, Maria & Nick, and Val & Myloe. My apartment was filled with kids for the very first time – Aki, Ani, Justin, and Alex made the afternoon entertaining and eventful, to say the least. Jessica and Michelle got a free show via webcam, and everyone got a chance to either chat online or talk on the phone with them.
In case you missed it:
Our spread was bountiful – Val self-delivered cheesy pizzas and cinnastix; June brought the chocolate covered strawberries; Lani brought pancit and made virgin electric-stove rice; Aprilyn came bearing a basket of lumpia w/dipping sauce; and I made baked apricot chicken and a green salad, we also had ice cream with various toppings.
I didn’t take any pictures, though. Dammit. Too busy being a hostess. Suffice it to say it was fun, and we’ll do it again soon. Next time at June’s place, eh? :biggrin:
And in the end, Wayne and I had a good nap after everyone left. :sleeping:
Added May 31 – Some memorable moments:
Justin hitting on Lani, then Wayne trying to steal his moves not long after.
Commercials on Cartoon Network.
Ha’ani dressed as a strawberry.
Fish stew by Akivajohn.
Michelle & James making out on the webcam. Stop that!! There are children here!
Aprilyn’s house-warming gift … our LOVE fountain.
Aki: “I’m so frustrated!” Wayne: “Wow, he knows the word frustrated!” June: “It’s important to name our feelings.”
Maria finishing all of my salad. *sniff*
There are things that need doing, which is why I am up so damn early. I need to go to the store and buy stuff for our shindig tomorrow. I need to do laundry. I need to buy shelves so we can finally get all of our books out of boxes. I need to finish cleaning the apartment. I need to be exercising more.
It’s not really a lot. Just feels like it.
I’d rather sit here and listen to Pandora, play games until I am blind, and have food come to me through the television. Pregnancy has made me incredibly lazy … and given me heartburn for the very first time.
Why can’t I just get paid for my opinion? People have columns in the paper who have nothing very interesting to say, and they get paid for it. I’m fairly sure I can do that too. I’m doing it right now.
These are random thoughts because I feel like I need to validate myself by blogging about more than being knocked up. Must … be … hip. Must remember not to become some lame mommy who disappears once she has kids. Since the beginning I’ve just had this general sense of well being. That everything will work itself out fine – I won’t raise a serial killer.
The teenage angst in me is well and truly gone. I’m 28. Peace of mind took its sweet time, but at least it made it. There are others out there still searching. Wayne, for one.
I was looking at the blogs of some friends of mine and feeling sorry for myself. The words have stopped up. I’m not writing like I used to. I miss words. I’m surrounded by words all day at work, yet none of them belong to me. I am mute.

So … (I decided to start a new thread for this one) … are we going to have a little get-together this Memorial Day – Monday, the 28th? I fully volunteer my apartment for a potluck dinner filled with the things we’re all craving to eat – don’t tell Martha Stewart. I’ll bake cookies if you like, and make something healthier as well. And we’ll try to get Michelle on the webcam so we can all congratulate her on her engagement! It’ll be like a long-distance, double engagement, memorial day, Maria’s going away party …. whew. That’s a lot of reasons to party.
So? Who’s free? Who’s game?
