Finally, after a busy seven months at the Red Barn my Saturday nights are free [at least until May]. I kicked off my first free weekend with a night out with friends from work. We went to Midtown Tap & Tea Room, where several people offered to buy me drinks and shots because we were celebrating my bank promotion, graduation and 23rd birthday! Two and a half Tanqueray and tonics later, Millie, Paul and I had some chocolate cake (½ oz. frangelico, ½ oz. vodka and a sugar coated lemon. Probably the best shot that I have ever tasted- warm and fuzzy on the way down followed by some sweetness. The night ended with a bottle of wine and fresh margarita pizza at Pasqual’s- yummy.
Saturday started off with a bang, or at least that’s what my head felt like. Sam and I made are usually Saturday morning breakfast- scrambled eggs with sautéed onions, some fruit, garlic bread toast and tea. After lounging around the house all day- I met up with my friend Lena from HVCC, and we went shopping for a few hours, grabbed some dinner at Houlihan’s and later bawled our eyes out watching “P.S. I love you.” [P.S. I love Gerard Butler- WOW]
Sunday was a busy day too, after 2 hours of cleaning the fish tank, a few more pebbles down the garbage disposal, and a half an hour vacuuming animal hair- Sam and I went to brunch at Justin’s- always a great thing on an cloudy Sunday afternoon. Then it was back to shopping again at the mall, followed by dinner and a movie on the couch with Molly. The fish tank is glistening, by the way, and our fishies are very happy.
I can’t wait for next weekend. Only a hundred and twenty something more hours!

I can attest to that – Chocolate cake sure was good! Let’s not forgot little Mary, our fun bartender who served it up to us and had one, too. Tasted just like chocolate cake. I’m glad I found the recipe.
