Drained
Completely partied out from last week. The bf’s Microsoft party at the W in Buckhead last Wednesday was nice; too bad they only had a Kinect going and not some FPS.
The following day he hosted a small dinner party at his place. I must say I was pretty impressed with his kalbi or marinated ribs. Friday we went to another small get together where a couple of people didn’t know “what” Chairman Mao was. Ignorance aside, it was a lovely evening where I gained 5 lbs from eating all the dessert.
Saturday I went to my company’s party out on Lake Lanier. The Festival of Lights thing on the way to the reception was pretty hokey and cheesy, even for a 5-yr-old. But it was a nice party and everyone won something; I ended up winning a 2 night stay at a Ritz Carlton of my choice; I’m sure it will come in handy some time.
Right after the party, my boyfriend and I booked it to a lounge in Midtown to celebrate Cathy’s birthday. We stayed for only a short while since we were so tired. Earlier in the day we also visited the Dekalb Farmer’s Market for the first time on Saturday and I have to say the bread, coffee and fresh pasta there are pretty good and cheap. (Alas, photography is prohibited there.) Ideally I’d go there often but it is kind of out of the way for me.
Sunday my friends hosted a grab bag/potluck party at their place. (There was a lot of Publix fried chicken.) I ended up getting a candle, which was perfect for my boyfriend since he loves candles more than I do.
It was a pretty fun but exhausting week. We ended up getting sick toward the weekend and we’re just about recovered now. I’m looking forward to getting this work week over with and just rest up.
