The weekend was relatively uneventful.
Friday - Holiday party for Dim's company's client's company. It was at Battista's Holie in the Wall, a restaurant that has mysteriously remained open for three decades despite having rather mediocre food.
Their main claim to fame is that the wine is included with your food. Hoo boy. Hold me back. I have the vapours from the shock of it.
Growing up in Vegas, it didn't occur to me that you bought alcohol. I thought that the Strip propprieters offered it as a matter of courtesy. Sure, dad would buy beer at the grocery store, but that was beer. And it was American beer, besides. But liquor, that was something that was handed out freely as a matter of hospitality.
So I won't complain about a free meal, but I will say that last year's party at Roy's was much better.
Saturday - Tried to go see Narnia. Went to the wrong theater. Ended up at home watching television. Met a long awaited, but not-exactly welcome boyfriend of Athena's. All parties were much better behaved than I was expecting.
And Sophie called my baby her grandchild. Whew.
Sunday - Church, picking up wedding photo albums (finally!), and watching Blade: Trinity in bed with Dim. Church was good, the photoes are great, and Blade was a dud. Two out of three ain't bad.
Posted by Jen at December 12, 2005 1:32 PMI assume Blade: Trinity is the title of a movie? Otherwise Trinity was in bed with Dimitri as I read it.
Doh! Sophie reads your blog. :)

Thanks for poijting it out.
No Sophie doesn't read my blog. If she did, I'd have to walk on my lips.
For my own sanity, don't anyone go emailing her and telling her about it.

Posted by: Jen Rodis at December 12, 2005 7:34 PMI'm an excellent speller, but a poor typist.
Posted by: Jen Rodis at December 12, 2005 7:35 PMI personally think Spell-Check is responsible for making us bad spellers. It fixes our problems for us and therefore we get lazy knowing that it will fix it. Sometimes I don't even try that hard anymore. Maybe it is just me.
Posted by: Ryland at December 13, 2005 10:02 AMI am decent with spelling, unless the word has two sets of double letters (or if it looks like it should have two sets of double letters). Then I get REALLY confused.
Posted by: JennySmith at December 13, 2005 11:38 AMLet me correct that. I try hard but just not at corrective spelling.
