happy, happy day!

what a great way to end a week-and-a-half vacation. i had a really good low-key day today... picked up angus from the kennel in the morning (he's been happily talking to himself all day) and packed up all the xmas decorations... got the aforementioned e-mail from my 6th grade crush... had a nummy south beach-friendly lunch at red lobster (grilled salmon and shrimp, with double veggies and a salad)... then went shopping at crate and barrel, armed with several gift cards i got for xmas. i walked out of there with some sparkly candles (half price from xmas), a gorgeous set of table linens, and a much-needed plastic pitcher. the best part though, was when i paid at the register -- the sales gal asked to see my ID, and when i handed over my license, she gasped, "you're from marshfield???" "i just moved here, i was actually in somerville before this," i told her. "i'm from weymouth!" she grinned. then the sales gal next to her chimed in, "omigod, i'm from allston!" there was much squealing all around. *grin*

i got a phone call from KB today *happy dance*, inviting me to a dinner party at his friend's tomorrow night (i met the friend at karaoke last week). the classic twist: it's a vegan dinner, and i'm allergic to tofu... and it starts at 7, and i might have to work late. so i had to be a pain in the ass and e-mail the friend (at KB's suggestion) and go, "can i come late? and will there be any non-tofu food there?" turns out yes and yes, so i'll stop by for a bit. i'm really psyched to see everyone, they're such a fun group.

for now, i'm going to scrounge up some dinner (taco salad, still trying to be south beachy) and try to get ready for work tomorrow... ugh.

um. . .red lobster? wasn't that a bit of a downer after your week in boston with non-chain dining everywhere you look? poor thing.

after my busy week this week, i'm starting the south-beachy thing, too. hello shrimp and veggies!

it was a huge downer. but i have to say, as far as chain restaurants go, red lobster ain't too bad. i was craving restaurant food, and so i had to figure out where i could get something relatively not-bad-for-me... and there ya go.
