elvendoll...but i've been wanting to for some time now, so i will anyways.
the drive to NJ yesterday sucked.
i hit traffic on 93 going to the pike; on 84 once before hartford and twice after; on 287 before and after the tappan zee bridge; and on 80 right befor my mom's house...
lets just say i was not a happy camper by the time i got in...
luckily, i got cheered up right away... when i went up to abigail (my now 5 month old sister) she took one look at me, and her eyes widened, and she started smiling, and cooing, and got really emotional and was nearly in tears twice, but then back to smiles, and cooing through all this. like she was telling me all the stuff that went on sice i last saw her! it made me feel really special : )
and then my mom told me that she was actually worried through that, as she's never seen abi talk that much, or get that excited by someone's presence... : )
and then i got to eat, which helped too...
...its funny, i think back to it, and in retrospect i can't tell why all the rleatives cooing over my arrival aggravates me so much - i just know it does... i had to struggle rather hard to keep my focus on my food not get really annoyed with their fussing...
i guess i'm just not used to that muchbustling going on all at once, in such a small space.
after dinner i hung out for a bit talking to my grandma's best friend's son... i am on really good terms with his daughter (who i call my evil twin cuz we have always looked alike, only now she's 4 years older, 7 inches taller, works in finances and lives in europe), but found his company to be rather annoying most of the time... he's just a 30-some year old bachelor whose usual topics of conversation don't stray much from the themes of getting women or money - rather boring and redundant in my book.
well, i guess a coworker of his (that i am just assuming he's hitting on) is into two-tone ska, and katya (his sister) turned him on to portishead when he saw her last, so we spent some time talking about music... and that was cool...
and after everybody left, i got to see and try on the vynil dress my mom got me(!!)
and i am so happy!!!
given its not amazing, but its a strapless vynil gown that fits, and that only cost $30 - i really don't know how my mom does it... i am just incredibly grateful she does! : )
so i guess i now have an outfit for the next hell night : )
after everyone retired to bed, i retired to the computer...
i don't know why, but bill was not in the best of moods, didn't feel like talking on the phone, and got annoyed with me when i was asking him about details of his trip (he should be up in maine, visiting crispie right now).
so as it stands, i have no contact info for him - just know that he's supposed to be back sometime tomorrow.
which is fine.
its just annoying me that he offered to give me the phone # of the motel crispie is putting him in, but got annoyed/defensive when i asked him for it... because i can totally understand wanting to disappear for a couple of days - i'd just rather he said that to me rather then being the silly boy that he was.
c'est la vie.
i am sure everyhting will be fine...
today i was woken up early (well.. 10am.. on a weekend though...) by my mom, saying we need ot hurry to get to synagogue...
hurrying didn't really work, and we got there at noon (but it is like a 40 min. walk from here, and my stepdad would've had a shitfit if we *gasp* drove on a saturday *sigh*)... but its not like i minded being late... especially as i spent most of the time outside anyways - it was rather warm inside, and my mom put a rather warm dress on abigail, so she would have been too hot being in doors, and i wasn't going to pass up this chance of spending some 1 on 1 time with her...
hell, if there was any way i could see her more often without leaving what i hae in boston i would take it within seconds... i somehow got really attached to her, and don't like the fact that the most i get to see her is like 3 or 4 days out of a month...
...and now i should proably get back to the foodfest upstairs - i've made it through 2 courses already, and its now tea time...
