Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I decided that Friday after work I’d hit Target. An hour later, I had finally driven the six miles there–traffic was insane for whatever reason. But I did buy some good stuff. Following my shopping spree, I came home, spoke to DG on the phone, then basically crashed for the night, I was so tired.

Saturday
I was unable to sleep in–I’m guessing because I slept so damn much earlier in the week, so I woke up and did laundry. It was actually nice not having to fight with my neighbors for the two washing machines in the building.

Original Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pan CookieMidst laundry and pre-caffeine, I sent out an email to some of my friends with the where and when info for my tonsillectomy. I accidentally included Mugged Guy and Divorced Dad amongst the emails. Oops. Then I baked cookies, because I was annoyed that I did something so stupid.

The rest of the afternoon I lounged around, chatted on the phone, and cleaned up a bit. I updated all my holiday party RSVPs on Evite, and got a little sad and depressed that I can’t attend anything. This tonsil crap has really taken over my life, and it’s more than a little frustrating that I’m holed up inside my apartment while everyone else is out having fun.

Saturday evening, Divorced Dad and I exchanged a few text messages and I believe we set a date for Friday night, although I’m not one hundred percent sure. Then later that night, DG and I went to Kabuki for a late sushi dinner–damn that place is crowded at 9:00. He and I are friends. The end.

Sunday
Slept in a bit then hit the Hollywood Farmer’s Market, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Borders. (Why oh why do they all have to be so close to each other?) While at the Market, I got two compliments on my t-shirt, both from boys, both with girlfriends. Oh well.

After the Market, I tried a few stores around town in an attempt to find smoked mozzarella (for a risotto recipe) but went home empty handed. Anyone know of any stores (besides the cheese one at the Farmer’s Market at the Grove which I try to avoid until after the new year) who might carry it? I’ve tried Gelson’s, Bristol Farms, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s.

Now I’m ready for a nap, my energy level is next to nothing today. This coming week is super busy, then it’s tonsil time! I have two pre-op doctor’s appointments on Monday (one with the ENT which my parents are coming to so they can meet the doc, and I limited my mom to four questions) then one, sans parents, with my GP for blood work and an EKG (because I have a heart murmur). Tuesday I’m finally catching up with David because it’s been forever and a half since I last saw him. Wednesday is girls’ night with Jen, Marisa, and Ann-Marie, and Thursday is something but I forget what at the moment. Then the weekend, yay!

The Bev Hills cheese shop, the Silverlake Cheese shop, Cube at Divine Pasta or http://www.igourmet.com which has an unreal selection. (It’s run by one of Diana’s best friends from college).

C’mon now Hil. You don’t LOOK like anything is wrong with your tonsils! (har har)

You can Avoid The Need To Shop At All Those Stores by checking out the Larchmont Famer’s Market, instead, like Totally Awesome Boyfriend and I do sometimes. There are Cute Stores to shop in!

I don’t know Anything about Cheese.

Don’t laugh. But you can actually get smoked KOSHER mozarella at Albertsons. I buy smoked cheddar there too. Go figure. I only buy kosher cheese and Albertsons seems to only ALWAYS have the smoked mozarella.

Good luck cheese hunting :)

I’m with Tamara on that score. Most of the ‘regular’ markets have the stuff. Again good luck with the surgery, and I’m betting mom asks more than 4 questions. Cheers & Good Luck! ‘VJ’
