maybe you're the worst person on earth, but i'm the worst friend on earth. . .

i can't believe i didn't call you yesterday for your birthday :(. no, i didn't forget. i was meaning to call all afternoon, but i was being a little lazy and anti-social all day and kept telling myself that i'd call you a little later. then i met up with anusha around 6 and we hung out all night. she told me that edgar was making you dinner that night, so then i didn't want to call to interrupt your dinner. so i didn't call and i know my excuses are horrible, but i swear that i was thinking of you and didn't forget that it was your birthday! and now i'm just going to have to send you something fabulous to make up for not calling :)

koo's birthday is in may. may 2nd, i believe. i'll try to remember to remind you when the time comes. but anyway, it sounds like you had a nice birthday weekend. i can't remember the last time i got to celebrate my birthday with my parents. they're in some tiny village in the mountains somewhere in colombia, and they're loving life.

rupa went back to India saturday night. i know she was ready to go back 'home', but i'm sad she's gone. it was nice having her around, even though she was running around in a million directions the whole time.

ok, i need to get to work. happy 25th, megan! send me pictures of dollop and you and edgar whenever you get a chance. i miss you.

i'm officially the worst person on earth

i got two emails over the weekend wishing me a happy birthday - chirag and koo. jules - i'm hoping you remember when koo's bday is, 'cause i have no clue. (i don't really care about chirag)

my birthday weekend - friday night, i was at work until 8:30, then i came home and ate pb&j and was asleep on the couch by 11. saturday morning, i slept in, ran errands with edgar and drove to buffalo around 2. i hung out with my parents for a little while before grandparents, aunt, parents and myself all went to a steak house in buffalo. they made me sit on a saddle while they sang ("they" being the people that work at the restaurant) after dinner, we went back to my grandparent's house and walked the dogs then my parents, cindy and myself went to barnes and noble, drank tea/coffee/hot chocolate and ate cookies while reading random books. sunday morning, we all met for breakfast at tim horton's then i left for rochester. i convinced my parents that they should take me out to lunch too so we met at pf chang's and had a light lunch (which edgar got one of the kitchen managers to comp the whole meal - rupa and nush, the same guy that took off a bunch of the bill last year - he loves me :) ) then, my parent's took me to the lindt chocolate store and bought me some truffles, followed up by my mom buying me a sweater in the limited. at this point, it was after 1:00. my parents hit the road and i hit h&m. i didn't buy anything. but i was going to pick edgar up after work (he had gotten a ride that morning) and he'd get done with his shift between 3 and 4 - so i decided to just stay around the mall. so, i went to borders and read the same book i've been reading the last couple of times i've gone to book stores. he called during the climax. i finished reading the exciting parts, but i'm still 3 pages away from the end.

his mom made me dinner - i wanted him to make it, but he had a good point that getting out of work at 4 didn't really allow him much time to make dinner. it was delicious - although i'm pretty sure totally unhealthy. there was yucca, black beans and rice, and meat stuffed with more meat. then we both realized we were dead tired (dollop had slept on the bed with me the night before, which meant she got off and on the bed - and me - every two hours or so) so we rented a movie - which we never watched. sat on the couch and watch simpson's, american dad and fell asleep a couple of minutes into family guy - which was the show we had the tv on to watch. i was in bed by 10pm.

of course, i was at work by 8am - which included walking the dog and hitting up starbucks with the gift card gen and courtney gave me. i might have been a little ambitious about the coffee though. i had had a caramel machiatto on saturday and decided that it could be my new fav. so that's what i got this morning, with an extra shot of espresso. i have gotten the extra shot with mochas before and found it delicious, but i don't think the caramel machiatto has enough sweetness to even out the extra shot . . . oh well, i'm still going to drink it and love it :)

that was long winded and i need to get some work done before my (supposed) meeting with eun at 9am . . .

rupa and julie - post something!

wow a new blog

i got your message this weekend megan - I was home for the weekend for doctors apts etc and then just to relax.

rupa is here through friday i believe. she isnt dying but isnt totally well - im not sure the details - i saw her thursday at my housewarming party but didnt talk much about that...

i was supposed to have dinner with rita tonight but i dont feel that good so i just want to go home and sleep. maybe watch a movie and read...ill see her tomorrow maybe

my date with alpha phi

danielle, christina kim and i met for coffee saturday evening at my favorite coffee shop (nush - i think i've taken you there, with all the van gogh paintings?) christina was on the phone with a friend of her's who was having a 'third life crisis' that she had to help her through. danielle was really sweet. i don't think there was anything of much interest to share in terms of actual details . . . phil and katie hoffman got married - but that's not shocking. rita jou is applying to vet schools - that almost made me start crying on the spot. i didn't share that though. danielle left a little early to go play DD for her friends, christina and i stayed and chatted and that eventually led to me talking about applying to vet school. i just hate the idea of telling too many people and then getting rejected and having to explain that. and rita applying as a NY state resident does not help. edgar told me he knew people if i wanted her taken care of. why is she the better version of me? she even has a jack russell! i bet you her dog is better behaved than mine. i kind of want to cry again.

umm . . . is rupa still in the states? is she dying? (i say she because i know SHE isn't going to read this and reply) i'm so confused about that.
