Bellydancing and Zonolite St.

By
Today I am grateful for many things:  birthdays, memories, being able to afford things I don't necessarily need....
I can finally release photos of Noel's birthday cake. Happy for that one. This cake literally has my sweat and tears in it. No blood...that's gross. I did get so frustrated at one point that I started crying. But, finished product, I think, looked better than it should've. I thank Paige for her help in this whole process. Her AC was a lifesaver.




Last night was a lot of fun, as well. There were a lot of Noel's friends there. We finally got seated around 9:30....and Noel had already drank 3 mojitos. As soon as he sat down, Simon had bought him shots. Of course, he's so friendly, so he bought me one, too. Thanks, Simon. The night just kind of went downhill (in a good way) from there. Kat came out too!!! So happy that Russell came to dinner. It was nice to have some Boozers, Cruses, and Dollars all together.

Tonight Noel and I went to Nicola's. Amazing foods. Lebanese and delicious. Nicola's also happens to be where Lindsay and Will had their rehearsal dinner. Nicola is a friend of Louisa (Will's mom) and he's amazing. He dances and laughs and smiles. Noel really enjoyed it too. Here is a video of Nicola:

And another of the bellydancing:


Their foods are delicious:

We went shopping with some of Noel's birthday money today and I realized how many times we both said "I want" and "I need." I had to stop and realize how grateful I was to be able to afford luxuries in life. I know that many cannot even buy things that they really need, let alone want. I am making it a new goal to stop saying "I want" and "I need" as much.

Zonolite street is where I have decided I want to move. It's just the most awesome name for a street ever. Thank you and, goodnight.

I've fallen in love with fall

By
Realizing that I had been taking all of these great photos of the fun things I have gotten to do lately, and that I haven't stopped in too long to discuss how grateful I am for my life, I decided to do a quick update. Today, I am grateful for fall weather, seeing Noel's eyes light up when he watches glass blowing, and good friends who are always willing to be the "third wheel." Yesterday, Noel, Jade and I went to the Renaissance Festival outside of Annapolis, MD. I have not seen Noel so excited to be in company of so many (strange) people! So, we nerded out and walked around, drinking beer out of our handmade mugs and eating (them) turkey legs and (me) fried bread. It was a healthy sort of day. I think the best part of the day was watching Noel watch the glass blowing from the artisans at Art of Fire . Jade , being the awesome person she is, couldn't resist buying up BOTH of the pieces that we watched being made. Which brings me to Jade. I'm not sure I...

Beer, Bikes, and New Dresses

Today I am grateful for free time and beer. After a somewhat crazy day, and while looking forward to a sure to be crazy day tomorrow, I finally get to sit down and enjoy a nice beer while I write! This weekend was fun-filled, for sure. It began with Stephanie and I going to Good Dirt and making ceramic pots on the wheel. We were the class clowns, as we continued making fun of each other throughout the teacher's lessons. Oh well. We were having fun. I love the photo of the garage door to Good Dirt. It seemed beautiful to me. One of my pots will be bottom-less. But, ah, such is life. On a related note: My original subject was beer and pots...but I didn't want to get the stinky eye from anyone. Hahaha Jennifer and Stephanie After our romantic evening at Doc Cheys and then Good Dirt, Stephanie and I met up with Jennifer, and then Paige and Jason. After a drink, Stephanie, Jennifer and I decided to run down to Highwire. This is when the bottom fell out of the sky and ...

A poor guy

By
Today I am grateful to have a partner who puts up with the fact that he, sometimes, has to suffer because I don't have my mom to talk to.  I realized tonight that Noel suffers because I can't get on the phone and call my mom when I need to vent. When I have a stressful day at school and am frustrated, I can't call her up and tell her about my bad day, instead I have to unload it all onto him.  Even when it's not easy...he listens and responds.  Even when I can't see him at least 3 nights out of the week because I'm getting home at 9 p.m. every night...he still listens and responds.  I am grateful for how hard he works,  even when I don't deserve it.
