Anyways, when I was willing myself to get up for the gym this morning, I checked my email, and I saw THIS EMAIL:
HUNGER GAMES HUNGER GAMES HUNGER GAMES! I would upload a screenshot of the email itself, but Google is being stupid and telling me I have exceeded my limit for photos on Picasa or something. I do not have the time to deal with this right now, so I didn't.
Anyways, Andrea and I are getting Chipotle (!) and seeing the Hunger Games at 7:30 in Times Square, and we are way too excited for two women our age. At least this isn't Twilight, or some terrible thing like that.
And then tomorrow, Reece and I are going to the ASPCA and adopting a kitten. A kitten! For me to love and cuddle with! I have no idea what color or kind I will get, but as long as it isn't skittish, I'm happy. Then Heather and Kristine are coming over to meet said kitten, eat dinner, and probably have a little wine.
Speaking of wine, Allie and I found a cute little Spanish tapas restaurant/wine bar on the Upper East Side called Pil Pil. I had a really delicious Verdejo (from Rueda), and Allie had a Cabernet Sauvignon from I-don't-know-where. For dinner, we had a bunch of things - mixed olives (really garlicky, but I don't like olives, so it was perfect for me), grilled portobello mushroom salad, bacon-wrapped stuffed dates, and leek & prawn croquettes. All really yummy. Then I tried Pinkberry for the first time, just a little baby cup of salted caramel froyo, but it was delish!
Pil Pil doesn't have a website, but here's the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/PIL-PIL-Spanish-Tapas-and-Wine-Bar/109001872469152
I hope all of your weekends are the bomb-dot-com. I mean that without a bit of sarcasm. NOT A BIT!
May the odds be ever in your favor,
Courtney
