hi ladies

i'm so tired of explaining my delta/weekend situation to everyone here. nush, thanks for filling megan in :) and rups, you were nominated to break up with dev for anusha after i told her i couldn't do it. you're a lot more patient and sensitive than i am :)

anyways, yes, joe got wasted on thursday and cried on thursday night, but i had such a good weekend with him the rest of the time that i've forgotten all about that already. in his defense. . . the poor guy had a really shitty day at work. someone that works with him stole his biggest customer, the one customer that makes up more than half of his business, and it was done in some way that isn't really allowed or something. so, needless to say, it's a pretty big deal. he was really really embarrased that night and the next morning. the good thing is that he was coherent and a bit more sober before we went to sleep, so we talked and joked about the whole thing for a little - i think that made everything a bit less awkward in the morning. the next day we hung out all day, he finally left at around 3. he was really hungover and neither of us had to go to work, so we just laid around all day talking/cuddling/watching tv/making fun of him for crying. . .it was fun :) by the time he got to my apt thursday night he was pretty wasted, and then he kept drinking vodka and shots of patron after he got to our place. he came over after i called him from the airport and told him that i missed my flight because delta sucks. he was out at dinner with a friend of his - he went to get sushi and sake after work to try to forget about his terrible day. that night he went to his boss's house to play poker, and i went to jacob's to hang out for a bit. sanjeev was there and so was alex (alex is his roommate). nick g. came over for a little bit too, and we all just sat around drinking beer and watching tv. nick brought some weed with him, so we smoked a little and then went to mcdonalds. it was a pretty fun low-key night.

then saturday i just laid around most of the day watching movies. i saw the notebook (which i've seen before and loved, and which still depresses me). i went out with joe saturday night. we were going to try to go to a comedy club but it was sold out, so we just went to dinner and then to a quiet lounge around the apt. the whole night was really nice. then we went back to the apt and started watching some of troy in the living room (i don't have a dvd player in my room), but we ended up missing most of the movie because we were making out/talking. he didn't stay over because he really had to go home (he lives with his parents and his dad is really strict and likes to give him a hard time. his dad wasn't too happy that he stayed over thursday night without calling them. . . )

anyways, sunday i was really productive. i went to church and the gym, and then i cleaned the apt. then i watched the rest of troy and saturday night lights. sunday night i watched desperate housewives with anusha and then fell asleep really early because i was exhausted. monday i did a little bit of work for my dad, then joe picked me up in the afternoon and we went to this really nice mall in jersey, shore hills. he's going on a cruise in a couple of weeks so he needed some board shorts and shirts and stuff, and i just needed jeans. we had such a fun time hanging out all day. while he was trying on and purchasing $480 worth of clothes at georgio armani, i got offered a glass of champagne but asked for an expensive bottle of water instead :)

then we went back home and went out to dinner close to the apt. we wanted to try to go to balthazar, this place that is supposed to be really good, but the wait was over an hour, so we went to mercer kitchen instead. the restaurant was nice and quiet. . . we had a lot of fun.

anusha asked me when do things become "exclusive" between us, but i don't really know how/when that happens. i really like him though (despite the whole drunken crying). we're going to stomp this saturday, and then the following week we're going to the heat/nets game. i'm going home in a month now, march 17th, for a 3 day weekend. so, even though i had to spend my weekend in the shitty cold weather up here, i had a very relaxing and fun weekend with joe :)

ok, i'll stop boring you all to death now (especially anusha, who knows about all of this already). i spoke to rupa briefly this morning. she's really sick - she thinks she has a fever - but she has to be at work because she has a ton of crap to do. poor rupie :(
