Friday - I "worked" on my "paper" in the morning. Then Adam came over and we had dominican food and chilled in the park. Then I had a glass of rose. Then Adam left and Jen came home and I had a bottle of rose. We got in a dumb fight about me turning off the TV. I realize I must maintain the illusion of choice for Jen to go along with my master plans. mwahahahahaa.

Saturday - Jen and I went down to the seaport and shopped around, watched annoying tourists be annoying, and eventually wandered back to peck slip. Peck Slip rocks! So many cute restaurants and bars. It felt like (baltimore x philly)/detroit. We had already eaten lunch but we got a glass of wine and dessert at a great italian market cafe. We also bought some amazing sun dried tomatoes in artichoke oil, and artichokes, also in said oil. We walked over the brooklyn bridge at sunset, grabbed a fountain diet coke at McDonalds in brooklyn and then chilled at my moms house until she came home and we could take her car. On the drive back to manhattan we stopped at fairway, cause we needed bread to go with the italian deliciousness. I accidentally bought a million dollars worth of cherries.

Sunday - We babysat my cousins while their parents (and other members of my family) went to a wedding. The small guys are 4 and 7? something along those lines. They are too cute though. We were changing the little one into a t-shirt before we left for the park, and when he was shirtless he was like, yeah! and broke into that song LET IT ROCK. Cause you know, that's rockstar. We went to a playground that had old school death toys like that big spinny thing, you know? and that weird toucan with a spring underneath. Then, the unmatchable delicacy of Wendy's chicken nuggets (seriously, those mofos are tasty), back home for the bubble olympics (standings are published and available on their dining room table), some online game called Wizard 101 that was like, a fancy way to dress up time wastey puzzle games like Bejeweled, out to Borders, where the little one reached his exhaustion point and got kinda weepy (we had tried for a nap before but he just lay there fighting off sleep, literally going "no. no!" when his eyes started closing), pizza and french toast sticks and then a Scooby Doo samurai movie that was way more intense and fighty than Scooby Doo used to be. And then YAY! Mom and Dad returned.

Over the course of the day, I made a few wrong turns, cause I have no idea where anything is in their town, and you can't make any lefts in Jersey so that makes it all worse. And the 7 year old was like, "Rose, if I could drive, we'd be there by now." Which was totally true.

We had a good time, and they are very sweet and well behaved children. Oh, and we saw a rainbow!

Today - I should do some more paper. But it is SO NICE OUT. Hmmm. maybe one hour of paper. Then back to enjoying my life.

John and Kate + 8 is pretty tragic tonight.

I was talking shit about them and now I feel bad about it. They chose to live a public life, but watching people feel like they want to get divorced is just truly sad. Especially when they do love their kids, and their kids love them, and their kids have no idea what the problem is really.
