I went out for the first time in I don’t even remember when and two great things happened. The first: I got carded! 
The second: I got hit on by three different guys — mama’s still got it!
I was rewarded for my adventures the next morning with a raging hangover. I definitely can’t handle liquor the way I used to…and a hungover mommy is neither attractive nor fun. This is why, boys and girls, I should always remember to keep my alcohol intake to a minimum.
My in-laws discovered a restaurant in Chinatown that sells not one…but TWO Cantonese-style ginger scallion lobsters for only $16. Score!
My cousin visited to see my daughters for the first time. It was so strange to remember that years and years ago, I used to change her diapers. Now she is a college grad with an enviable career who is obviously ALL GROWN UP.
The Hunger Games Blu-Ray I had pre-ordered arrived and I watched it with J that very night. I still believe it is one of the best book-to-movie adaptations I have ever seen, and J liked it as well. (He hadn’t watched it in the theaters.)
I finalized the plans for my trip to LA next month. I can’t wait!
Aerin began to really crawl, not just scooting backwards like she has been doing for the past month. Since Claire never crawled, I almost felt like a first-time mother again as I dealt with this newfangled trick.
We began receiving RSVPs for Claire’s birthday party. I’m still in disbelief that my oldest daughter is turning two soon.
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
I am an English teacher and I totally agree that The Hunger Games film is a fabulous rendering of the novel itself. I also know what you mean about the kids you used to sit for – one of mine is in her last year of vet college!
YAY for getting carded and hit on, ha! That’s so fun. And which restaurant is this? Looks delicious!!!
It’s Royal Seafood Restaurant, 103-105 Mott St, 212-219-2338. You might need reservations, especially on weekends.
I’m always looking for a good restaurant in Chinatown. Where did you go? Is it in NYC or NJ?
NYC Chinatown — called Royal Seafood Restaurant on 103-105 Mott St.
YUM! I had lobster recently too. Chinese style with Ginger & Green Onion is the best way to have lobster. And $16 for double! Great deal!!
