my turn

hi ladies -

megan, I'm glad you had a nice weekend and a nice easter! rupa and anusha are all caught up with my weekend, so I guess this update is just for you. . .

I had a really great weekend! friday I got out of work at like 4, then went home and hung out with jackie and joe for a little bit. joe left around 6 - he went to his boss's house in long island to play poker - and jackie and I went on a little shopping spree and got some really cute things for the apt. jorge and gabe got in around 9:30, so we all got dressed and went to a couple of bars. we met up with paul (this guy from jackie's work. everyone at her work calls him queer because jackie likes him and he won't make a move) at this really crowded bar. we got a few drinks, then went to a club to meet up with pulgui and a bunch of jorge and pulgui's friends from puerto rico. the club was way too crowded, we weren't really having much fun so we left after a bit. paul came home with us and spent the night with jackie. we were pretty wasted - it was a fun night.

saturday I forced myself out of bed at like 10am and picked up julia. there were a bunch of easter activities in central park for kids, so we tried to go to the easter egg hunt over there. by the time we got there they'd run out of eggs, but we still had a good time. we hung out and saw a marionette show - sleeping beauty - which was really cute. then we went back to my apt and hung out a bit. sat night we got a pretty big crowd together and went to free wine (which is always fun). it was rupa, anusha, and I; jorge and gabe; a bunch of rupa's and my work friends; and jackie and joe. we had a lot of fun. then we walked to a couple of other bars. joe and I hung back a little behind the rest of the group just talking and stuff. hmmm. . .i think he's my boyfriend now. anyways, it was really cute - jorge and gabe both really liked joe. they told me they give him the seal of approval. when we got to the bar joe had to leave - his dad didn't want him home too late. I left a few minutes after him - I realized that I was really tired and already pretty buzzed, so I just wanted to go home and get some sleep.

sunday morning jackie and I were going to take the ferry out to new jersey (joe lives like 2 minutes away from jackie's cousin, mauricio, which is where she was going to spend easter). we realized the ferry wasn't running because of easter and the first train was at like 4pm, so joe offered to pick us up (poor guy, the drive is like an hour and a half). meeting the family was fun. joe kept saying his dad's an asshole, but he was really nice to me. his mom is really cute! after dessert I sat in the kitchen table with her and her friend having cosmopolitans . . . it was cute. the sister was nice. she didn't talk to me too much - she was too caught up paying attention to her boyfriend. joe hates his sister's boyfriend - he doesn't think he treats her right. from what I could tell, she likes him a lot more than he likes her. . .anyways, it was really nice spending time with his family and getting a yummy home cooked meal. joe and I watched the incredibles before dinner - it was cute :) we left his house at like 9 - the poor guy had to drive like 3 hours in the rain to take me home and then get back.

ok meg, I guess you probably weren't expecting a novel when you asked for my update. I miss you too! when are you coming back to visit?? is there any chance you might feel like taking a visit to nyc for tax day? ;-)
