Double Dates and Family Dinners

I had the most amazing weekend. No fighting just hugs and kisses. Friday after work my sister and I headed to NYC for to get Brazilian and full legs waxed. It was a shirt visit so I convinced her to join *Scott and I for dinner at 5 Tacos. I swear I eat there too much. I was hoping we would have fun but, my sister is a bit of a cornball. She didn’t talk much because she was tired from work that day. It didn’t bother me much. I like hanging out with here even if it was for a few minutes. If the environment permitted I was going to try to convince her to break up with her boyfriend. That, I will have to save for another entry. Before I knew it *Scott and I were in bed by 10 and snoring. As I had mentioned before, I am getting to be tired a lot. The next day I convince *Scott to go out shopping with me for work clothes. I also wanted to stop to this store called MUJI so that I can look at some makeup storage cases. To my surprise he said yes. Lucky for us the weather wasn’t too horrible. We spend a few hours out at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and H&M. He picked out a few pants for me to wear to work. I was excited about that.  Once hunger set in we need to get something to eat fast. We hopped in a cab and went down to 7^th street to get Indian food at Raj Mahal. I love eating there. They play cool music and the food is always amazing. We order samosa’s, chicken tikimasala, sag paneer, and some sizzling chicken. Needless to say we had enough left over’s for a 2^nd or 3^rd meal. The day had flown by so we headed back to his place to watch movies and prepare for our next day.

Sunday, the day I wanted to avoid. *Scott had set us up on double dates with his old college roommate. I didn’t want to wake up early to go but there was no avoiding it. Around noon we headed to lunch at Kambi, a ramen restaurant near *Scott’s house. I was nervous but I tried to talk a lot. I really don’t know what to ask other girls. I am weird like that I guess. I pretty much sat and let the guys talk and laughed at a few things here and there. Awkward lunch to say the least. The next stop on our trip was MOMA. Again, I was not excited about this museum in particular. However, I knew the rain exhibit was there so that was the only thing to look forward to. I think we spent about an hour walking around talking and making jokes about the art and trying to touch things without getting caught before we gave up. We headed outside to see the Rain exhibit only to find that they closed off the line to walk under the rain.. we had to go around it and watch other people have the most fun. Still, it was rather boring. Somehow this double date continued. Next stop, ice cream near the Museum of Natural History. I would have been more excited to go to that museum. It was an ice cream truck called the ”CoolHaus” I got ice cream for the cheap price of $6. I wasn’t impressed with the taste of the patron ice-cream and cookies. I wish there was a list of recommended mixes so that I wouldn’t struggle figuring it out. On top of that the ice cream melted within 2 minutes. A total waste in my opinion. I was happy to find out we were leaving but the guys still tried to figure out if they wanted to do anything else. I was screaming no in my head. I was tired and knew that our day was not ending there. The guys got the hint and we said our goodbyes. *Scott and I caught the train to his sister’s apartment in the financial district. We were meeting her then heading to Jersey City to have dinner with his parents. His sister was treating since she got her first pay check as a Doctor. I have a good time with her and we made plans to go do other things, like shopping of course. We had dinner at a Vietnamese place, and the food was good. *Scott and his mom ordered so much food it almost couldn’t fit on our table. We talked about random stuff for about an hour or so. Dinner with his sister is always more interesting. She brings out the life in their mom who is often reserved. I love his dad of course. He always talks to me. After dinner we walked the parents to their car and talked about *Scotts birthday weekend. They want to go to the Poconos and have plans on renting a house there.  The next thing on my list, Pocono plans for *Scotts birthday. Until next time something interesting happens to me, PEACE!
