Friday night I went out with Sabrina and (blond haired) Katelyn to Cafe Jaffa , which had excellent Middle Eastern food and sangria. It's on Gloucester St. between Boyalston and Newbury St. and was quite reasonably priced for the area. It was good to catch up with my two "working girls" they both have what seems like very intense stressful jobs, though one works for a nonprofit and the other for a for-profit (the one I interviewed for a while back). It was raining, of course, much like every other time I hangout with Sabrina, which makes be believe she is either a rain goddess or just attracts precipitation...or we live in New England. We all agreed it seems like we all have too many friends that are planning on getting married. Seriously people, it's 2008 you don't have to don't have to enter into silly societal institutions like that anymore.
Saturday was similarly great because I got to see Melody and her fiance (this is what I'm talking about people) Dan. We walked around the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the most interesting exhibit of which was the new Mayan wall paintings depicting very stylized yet graphic images of a guy cutting through his private parts, and thus a significant amount of blood. Then Jason met up with us (we met at the museum at 10am and despite my coaxing Jason was firmly stuck in an allergy induced comma) and we ate at the oh so new to Boston and supposedly so great Wagamama (which, this time, actually was good, though the first two times I was thoroughly unimpressed). Then we walked along the Charles, found ourselves on Mass Ave and finally near the hidden Bodega shoe store when it was open, got Jason some new shoes and then:
Went to pick Steph up from the airport, because she's home from Spain!!!!!!!
Her crazy friends also had taken the bus in from NYC, and then after we took them to gramma's and fed them, we dropped them back at South Station so they could go back the same night! When I told Sabrina Steph's friends were planning this she said that she really liked me, but just not that much. This just goes to show that Steph is actually just a little bit more awesome than me, which I know is hard to believe.
Sunday Dad picked Steph and me up to so that we could see out mom on Mothers Day, though she always has to work because she works at a plant nursery. It was good to see the fam and mom liked her gifts (of chocolate and marzipan) but then I had to leave this morning to go to work. Lame.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be having dinner with Erin!

Dude, I totally feel you about the matrimony. '08 is the year of eight brides in my life. (1 down, 7 to go.)
