So apparently, I can do quite a lot on my own, especially since Joaquin is working over over time. I discovered this while on my "vacation". I finally got out to jogging in the park. Then I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and had a lunch picnic at the park w/ my nephew. Had a snack by myself while sitting on top of a rock in central park. I finally bought a magazine - that never happens. But I figured all this time to myself, why not. I cooked - didn't come out so bad either. I actually made my own glaze, by accident - and it tasted good: Red wine, red onions, butter, and herbes de provence. Then I hung out w/ Joaquin's mom and sister @ Chelsea Market (might score myself some Emeril tickets since I'm crazy like that), Columbus Circle, and walked through Times Square. I had a french macaroon for the first time and it was delicious! I caught up with Aggie on her birthday, and I even got to pick out my new bedroom furniture... I just haven't actually ordered it yet. =/ soon.
Aggie's birthday was a lot more fun than I could imagine. Maybe b/c my definition of fun is a little different than some people: I was invited to her personal family space, saw her cute ass newborn niece, had those long conversations w/ Aggie while on a stool in her kitchen, secretly "borrowed" her mom's recipe of a really good salad dressing, spoke to her sister and bro-in-law, got a compliment from her dad, hugged her mom, and ate sooo much delicious Korean BBQ food outdoors in her backyard w/ that beautiful weather (her mom kept piling on that pork onto my plate - not complaining). Oh and this Pecan Pie I had... Oh.. My...God. THAT is fun to me... especially since you have to be VIP to be invited to an intimate, family affair (she invited only 2 of her friends, of which I was one) =P
Happy Birthday, Aggie! (June 7)
Happy Birthday, Andrew! (June 8)
