All weekend, Jim and I have been joking about that we are getting older. We stayed up “late” on Friday and I told him that we are invited over to D and G’s around 7:30pm on Saturday and his reaction was “wow, so late”, hahah. Back when we first met, he wasn’t home from work until maybe 7:30, then he would spend an hour at the gym and after that get ready to go out or to see me. Same for me. Some classes in New York didn’t end until after 8, I had to go home and change, take the train back into Manhattan and meet Jim maybe around 10. These days we are in bed by 10, hahhahahahha! What happened to us??
So our weekend looked like this:
We stayed up til after 11pm on Friday which felt late. On Saturday we went grocery shopping while being really hungry (which is never a good idea, but to our surprise we ended up only with the things we needed). We then decided to go to Colony Grill that we heard is good. We ordered a takeout pizza. After paying, the staff asked us if we wanted a free pizza cause the order for someone else got wrong. My empty screaming stomach was so happy! We got to sit down, they came and ask if we wanted something to drink and asked us how we were doing and stuff, really good service and awesome pizza! So now we had one pizza at the place and another one to eat at home, a lot more food than we needed, but it was great.
At 7:30 we took an uber over to D & G’s house. We had decided the week before to have a hotdog night together. Again, so much food. What an unhealthy day. It was a really nice and relaxed night. J an Gareth hung out on the balcony while Daniela and I snuggled up under blankets on the couch just talking. At midnight we realized how late it was, so we had some dessert (G had made an awesome banana walnut cake) and then they drove us home. We were in bed sometime after 1am which resulted in us waking up after 10am the next day, haha.
We didn’t do anything really all Sunday. I sat by my computer for a few hours, J went to the gym, we made some chicken tikka masala and rice, gave Thor a bath and then I just waited for the Oscars to begin. Did you watch it? I kinda liked that there was no host, the night wasn’t as long as previous years. I can’t say I enjoyed the show much though. The Academy keeps cutting peoples speeches off, only the same 6 or so movies were nominated in all categories and I haven’t seen most of them. How the performance that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper did started was pretty creative and I like it a lot (A Star is Born is another movie I haven’t seen). I was in bed by midnight and it took me an hour to fall asleep.
Three “late” nights in a row, wow, I feel so young 😀
(and today I’m tired 😛 )
This was of course the funniest part of The Oscars 2019
