although overall it has been easy + smooth, 10 weeks is certainly a long time to live with at home. enough said.
my youngest brother is graduating college this month. we went up to see him + attend an award ceremony last thursday. after the ceremony there was a light reception. sweet! while in line for yummies everyone in front of me and behind me were raving about the sushi. "how fancy", "ooh wow, sushi!" "yum, this looks great" " i've never had sushi". i spied the white rice + dark seaweed from afar. my mouth started watering, preparing itself for a simple spicy tuna + avocado...
...yet, as i got closer i only saw green or orange in the middles. well folks, this is no sushi. it's cucumber. that's it. just cucumber. cucumber rolls and carrot. and not even juilenned carrots, just a fat chuck of giant carrot. not even any pickled ginger. i wanted to cry laugh out loud and tell these people they were not eating sushi. just vegetables. i also skipped the badly paired roasted pepper + gruyere quesadilla and opted for the coffee bar. I MISS NYC!!!!
we are just coming down off our wedding trio high. three gorgeous weddings in 3 fabulous places and everything was just perfect. we also just had our first ever extended trip away without nia. although we had moments of slight guilt and even more moments of missing her, we had a great time and did some much needed relaxing.
to add chaos to our already jam-packed chaotic circumstance, my brother who just graduated also just moved back home. last night. that's six people in a four bedroom house.
nia was temporarily taking over his room, but now that he is home, nia is back in with us. her dresser and diaper set up are in the dining room. crib in our room (did i mention our room here is 8' x 8' and barely fits our full bed + dresser??) and toys, clothes, shoes, and laundry are dispersed throughout the house.
nia usually wakes up each morning doing a little talking and transitions to crying pretty fast, telling us to come get her. however, this morning she cried for a milli-second and then realized we were a mere 18 inches away and said "hi!"
after reading this i'm sure you'll realize how not-exciting things are here beyond the recent weddings. i mean, half of this email is about faux sushi. so please let me know of all/any fun adventures, trips, food experiences, and celeb spottings ASAP and stop me from my craigslist addiction of looking for the perfect dining chairs.
love
