Yesterday I worked nine hours because the weekday hostess owed me a shift for covering for her last week, so she worked this morning for me. That means today I didn't have to work at all. It felt very luxurious. I didn't realize how rushed my weekends feel normally when I work Saturdays and Sundays.
Josh wanted to take advantage, and I'm all for being taken advantage of so we met up for brunch. I told him about Deanna getting engaged and we talked about the whole married thing. It seems like such a huge way to go, such a grownup thing to do. I'm scared to go to college, and terrified to live with a boy. How could anyone want to marry a boy, forever? We wandered around in the cold looking at people, trying to guess how old they were when they got married. Josh shocked me when he said he could see us getting married when we're old, like 25 or something. I could totally stay with him forever, but I can't really think past college. 25 seems so far away.
Josh had to go home because he had old relatives visiting and his mother wanted him to put in an appearance. I met up with my friend Beatriz and she wanted to go to Sephora and Old Navy. While we were at Sephora she talked a guy who worked there into giving her a free sample of hair stuff. I tried on sparkly eyeliner. Then Beatriz and I walked out. Half a block away she opened her palm in front of me and I looked at the eyeshadow she'd stolen. We walk into Old Navy and I went to look at all the bathing suits.
After that I went to find Beatriz - she was trying on a cute shirt, but not in the dressing room, just in front of a mirror on the floor. I told her it looked racktastic, because it really did. If I tried it on and saw my boobs look that good, I'd be tempted to buy the shirt. I always wind up with boring t-shirts. When they get too small they go to Dani, but if they didn't, I'd tart them up by cutting them into v-necks and stuff.
It started getting close to dinnertime and I had to leave. We walked out and went to the train. Beatriz was holding her jacket, and I asked wasn't she cold? She handed me her jacket, and I could feel it was bunched up funny. I put my hand up the sleeve and my heart sank as I felt the booby shirt. Embarrassed to say I was sad not because Beatriz stole it but because I was sad and jealous she had the cute shirt and I didn't.
Called Danielle and told her to get Alex and meet me in Brooklyn for fire family dinner. We got there just on time and it was really fun. They have a Wii and we played for a while. The husband guy told us he is trying out being vegetarian and hoped we didn't mind. Visions of like dry tofu floated into my head but it turned out being vegetarian just means you put spinach into your baked ziti and that's it. Hell, I'll do that next time I make ziti.
They sent us home with a lot of leftovers. I'm very excited. Not just the ziti but also garlic bread and homemade cookies. There's definitely enough for like two nights of dinners. Except for the stealing today was a really good day.

I'm not from US so I'm really curious about this whole fire family thing. Who arrange these things and how do they decide which family is the fire family and stuff..? Anybody?
It's the fire department my big brother worked with. All the guys he worked with rotate having us for Sunday dinner. It's not an official part of the FDNY.
I see, thanks ;)
