Friday night Ryan picks me up and tells me he's got a surprise for me. We grab dinner, head home, and I'm corralled into the bathroom where there's a shiny new towel rack like I'd been asking for. I figure this is the surprise, but I'm held hostage a few minutes more before I'm summoned to the kitchen where he's set up a dozen delicate little crystal roses, each in it's own little crystal vase, in appreciation for all the extra time I've put in at work and all the work we've been doing for the apartment wen I get home from work. It's extremely touching to know he not only appreciates it, but appreciates it enough to tell me so. It was a stressfull few nights before we found somewhere secure to keep them though!

Saturday we tried to meet up with his sister for Jam on the River, but decided against paying $50 a pop to get in. Instead we took a scenic tour through NE Philly before an ATM on Allegheney froze with my card in it. Awesome. We finally made it home and made a LOT of headway on the bookshelves and the kitchen.

Sunday we finished up a lot of the unpacking before heading out to Marakesh off South St for Rich's birthday dinner. If you've never been to Marakesh, go ASAP! It was absolutely wonderful! If you've never heard of it, Marakesh is a traditional Morroccan dinner-style restaurant where they invite you in adn serve you as if you were a dinner guest to a home in Morrocco. Aside from the fact that we'd both forgotten to reconnect pumps and Morroccan food is a carb-fest it was wonderful!

Monday I had the good fortune of being granted an all day LWOP, so I was able to work a bit more on the apartment after hitting up the BBq at Ryan's mom's. Latre that night we went out to see Prince caspian, which was great! Home home hom and prep for Ryan's first day at his new job!

Yesterday I shot myself in the foot, forgetting I'd done a time trade and needed to be at work at 7am...by the tmie I realized it was too late...well, it was to late...I was a bit sick all day, but I got the bedroom done. When Ryan got home we picked his uncle up from the airport (hah...he flew in on us at the terminal I was supposed to be working that morning) , dropped him off, did some much needed grocery shopping, then headed home to watch Starship Troopers and finally head to bed.

I'll have you all know...I made it to work just fine today.
