the last supper..

October 15th, 2010

well.. our last supper had a lot less people.. and no wine.. but it was special none the less.. before my friend was even with child.. we started a ladies night.. every Thursday.. after Dust got off work.. and it just evolved into me and Dom.. eating appies.. both talking about trying to get pregnant.. and than heading home.. I didn’t know it would last as long as it did.. there were only a few times that were ever missed.. usually Canada was to blame.. but we made it happen.. and I looked forward to it all week.. even when Thursday rolled around.. and I was tired.. and didn’t think I would make it until 8pm..  we always headed out and had a great time.. 

my friend is now about to have her baby.. (2 days?!) and we decided that last nights dinner would be the last.. until she grouped together a baby routine.. and felt good enough to get together again.. which would probably be us at home.. ordering pizza for the next little while..  we were also supposed to go to a friends birthday dinner in Seattle last night.. but when I woke up with another raging head cold.. (this is going on 3 weeks now people).. I knew I couldn’t make it downtown.. i cancelled the night.. and sat at home wishing I didn’t have to.. I than realized that she is going to have her baby soon.. and there is no getting our night back.. so I told her that I could be sick here.. or I could be sick 2 minutes from my house.. we were having our last supper.. 

we kicked it up a notch and headed to Capri.. this really beautiful Italian restaurant in the town center.. two minutes from where I live.. and every time I go there.. I wonder why I don’t go there more..  caprese salad to start? yes please.. 

homemade fettucini alfredo.. why not! and than we splurged and finished off with desert.. and it was good.. It actually felt like we were on a date.. romantic music.. walls of wine bottles.. beautiful sculptures.. and than about 20 minutes in .. this really loud grass blues trio started to play.. the front door said “piano bar” but this seemed to be a special night.. 

I was already fighting a leaky faucet in my nose.. and my eyes were almost blurry from the cold.. and now I was competing with a really loud bad.. so we ate.. and ate.. and pushed past all the “IM FULL” brain signals.. and just sat there.. two stuffed preggo woman.. trying not to throw up this great meal we just ate.. and let me tell you.. I almost came close.. 

we ate.. quickly paid.. and made out way out into the fresh air.. hoping to make it the one block to my home.. Its like my brain turned on a signal that I was home again.. and this raging head cold took over my whole body.. my head aches.. my body aches..my nose poured.. I have a really deep cough that burned all night.. and me and Olive just had cough attacks all night..  I am now sitting here.. sounding like Dorothy from the Golden girls.. sipping on hot tea.. and getting ready to dive into this really yummy peanut butter banana bread that luella left on my door step.. perfect timing I may add.. because I don’t have the energy to pour cheerios in a bowl this morning.. I may just grab the butter out of the fridge and grab thegiant banana bread.. and just go for it..  and throw Olive my scraps ;) I need to mentally turn this day around.. because work beckons at 3:30.. and it is taking everything in me not to call out.. 

Olive was the biggest riot yesterday. after we set up Halloween decorations.. she decided to “look pretty” in anything she could find in my drawers..
