how do you make a really really really REALLY sad day not so awful?

fill a room with your closest friends & colleagues.... add some company expensed drinks... and top it off with a little late night karaoke! that was my Friday!

so today i recover! JCrew, Poppins, and I are going to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, really b.c JCrew wants to know what she did lol! then we are going to Grey Dog Cafe in Union Square* for yummy sandwiches! tomorrow will be filled with cleaning, cooking, and a phone date with Mr.HG so overall this weekend is shaping up pretty good.

*see previous post about Grey Dog's awesomeness.

tales from the dinner party

the 1 point cupcake... it does exist! *

So Poppins in pregnant... yay!!! and Pregnant Poppins & Mr.Poppins had JCrew & I over for dinner on Friday nite.... and it was lovely.

We started out with some appetizers** then had pasta smothered in Grandma Poppins secret family sauce... and then these delicious cupcakes! the whole meal was weight watcher friendly which meant i could actually eat it guilt free!

We also had some great dinner conversation that included, but not limited to...
*crack laced cheerios
*nudity + nyc living +the priest in boxers across the street
*the thrills of being pregnant... and the sounds it makes
*me being scammed by the guy on 42nd & lex... the one with the dog
*the most fashionable homeless man resides in park slope
*magazine industry gossip... and oh is it juicy
*the creepy coincidences of Mr & Mrs Poppin's wedding... seriously they could write a book
and there was much, much more.

our night was filled with good friends, good food, and good laughs. what more could i ask for!

*with all the fixins its probably is about 2-3 points
**who knew cucumbers marinated in red wine vinaigrette could be so refeshingly delicious
