Friday Dinner[March 2nd]

I went home after work and said “hello” to my roommate as I walked through the door into our shared space, I like my roommate but I can’t wait to get an apartment.

I put my bags down on my bed and take my computer from the stylish red case that I’d previously been wearing and plugged it in, “god, forbid I’m ever disconnected from the world!” If you didn’t catch the sarcasm there you shouldn’t be reading this blog, because there are and will be a great number of things that you will fail to understand, and secondly if you can’t get that blatant display of sarcasm you won’t get much else and you will live your life dazed and confused. In any case, I plug in and promptly walk away. I want to fall asleep but that won’t do, so instead I eat, another important task on my mental, to do list. I play around with the toaster, plug it in, and proceed to get out bread, butter and Nutella. If you’ve never encountered this amazing chocolate hazelnut spread you should count yourself among those who are deprived and unhappy, because it is one of the most amazing and wonderful things next to strawberry jam, to spread across a piece of buttered toast. Margarite and I are planning on going out to dinner, she has to study specific interiors for her Human Factors design class and didn’t want to go alone on a Friday night to a nice restaurant. I can understand. I eat my nutella-covered toast as I check my email and wait for Margarite to call and tell me where we are going so I can get dressed. I get up for a moment and when I return to the computer I am greeted with a message from Margarite telling me that she’s home from work and that we are still planning on going out to dinner. I called her back and asked where we were going and what I should wear, oddly enough she had the same question for me, “Where do you want to go? And what are you wearing?” Maggie said to just come over to her room so she could see what I was wearing so she could decide what to wear herself. Ha-ha how great is that! So I took a quick shower and slipped into my favorite camel colored wool pants a black fitted sleeveless shirt and a sheer pin tucked, red brown and black floral print button-up shirt, a sophisticated business-type outfit that transitions well to evening. Plus I had on black fishnets on with a pair of killer round toe, T-strapped whiskey colored heels, and I even straightened my hair and wore a little bit bolder lip color than normal. Not to sound conceited or anything but I looked good! And so did Margarite! That girl can look good with almost no effort at all. She had on these great brown boots, gunmetal grey jeans, and a cream colored button-up with chocolate colored polka dots.
The train ride out to our stop wasn’t that bad. We are getting good at this wandering stuff so we found the hotel without any problems. The restaurant was in the Softel Hotel, a pretty sophisticated place to eat. It was called Café Des Architectes, and needless to say it was an upscale restaurant with an upscale price. I can’t believe that I spent so much money on one meal, when I could have spent the same amount of money and bought real food. (Not as fancy, but still amazing! I am, after all, a good cook ) Oh, well, It was a great night. I always love being able to dress up in something nice and go out for dinner, or even just dessert. I have quite a sweet tooth, but I don’t go overboard with it. I was kind of expecting to spend about what I did, so it wasn’t totally unexpected, plus we got an appetizer too. Portions of that appetizer were good, but I will critique the food in a post all it’s own. I just can’t believe that we were there for 2 hours or more, it was good though, we really were able to experience the space and how people moved around in it.
