Curds and Whey

Thanks for all the comments on the last post. I can’t promise we’ll wait until I’m ready, only because I’m pretty sure I’ll NEVER be ready, lol. Readier maybe :P I can set a random price, um, when we have $50,000 in the bank. Yup, there we go. Maybe I’ll just wait until Carolyn or Rachelle has a baby :D No pressure!

Saturday was quite the adventure. I woke up with a sore throat. I thought great, so much for karaoke. I decided to exercise and then see if I felt better or worse after. My condition seemed to improve, so I drove on over to Julia’s and get this, my GPS actually got me there without any wrong turns. We headed into the city with her boyfriend, Jay, for some dim sum at Jing Fong. Luckily we were able to get a table and eat a bit without the rest of our part, who of course, were late. People came by with food on carts and checked off when we took something. Fun experience.

After our tummies were full, it was karaoke time at Duet 35. It was a nice place. We got a big room and sang for four hours. No one believed I had a sore throat :D I mostly stuck to show tunes, but I did a little Shania and Lady Gaga too. While we were there I got a call from the theater people. I auditioned for Babes in Toyland earlier in the week and had a callback for the lead! I know, right??? Obviously I didn’t get the lead, but I was cast as Little Miss Muffet. I went back in the room hopping up and down. My character actually has a name! So exciting.

We had dinner at this Korean bbq place with yummy food but rude waiters. We may have miscalculated the tip and got yelled at for 20 minutes. It’s OK for them to say something, but they went about it all wrong. Really, that’s how you get a better tip out of your customers, yelling at them? I really wish we would just do like Europe and include tip in the bill. Wouldn’t that make life much easier? We had dessert at the Ben and Jerry’s in Macy’s. I had pumpkin pie flavored ice cream and it was delicious.

We departed the city and I drove to my parents’ house from Julia’s. My GPS wasn’t as helpful this time. It had me circle the block twice before it decided which direction I should go. Then it told me to turn too soon and I ended up circling the block again. Once I finally made it onto whatever road I was supposed to be on, it told me “exit left in two miles.” So I make my way over into the left lane which wasn’t exactly easy, drive for a couple miles and then it says, “exit right in two miles.” You frelling piece of- Luckily that exit was the parkway and I was able to figure it out from there.

Sunday, I went apple picking with Rachi and Chris. So did the rest of Bergen County. There weren’t too many apples left to pick, but we managed to fill our bags and now I don’t have to buy apples for a while :)
