So we have reservations at Catherine's which is a lovely restaurant in town, owned by...you guessed it Catherine, who is a darling.
So we have a few glasses of wine there, plus delicious meal, then we head off to another bar that Professor wants us to go to down by the lake which a guy called Jim owns. He seemed nice enough and was very interested on hearing about any English dishes that I knew or at least knew how to put together. This was a great compliment so I started to rattle on about how he could make a cracking shepherd's pie or my favorite chicken stewy soup. Of course I realised why my gob was yabbering away, my glass of WHITE wine was being constantly filled up, so I was there slurping like a rabid dog and chatting like my life depended on it. Good god I was pissed as a newt. I blame it on the weather up there, swear to god it was fucking freezing, so I guess you gotta keep drinking just to get the blood flowing huh???
So anyway we all got back to the house, put a log on the fire and continued to slurp away. Now I seem to remember Mary Anne scuttling off to bed and even Morpheus falling asleep on the couch but to be honest I did have to have someone tell me the next day that I had gone upstairs to the bathroom and promptly......
Oh god, haven't done that for a while. Well let me explain first last night's events. So myself, Mary Anne and Morpheus get the train from Grand Central to Cold Spring to surprise Professor for his birthday, which was actually yesterday but you know Professor like's to drag his birthday's on and it is kind of a SPECIAL ONE.
Clearly pissed out of my brain and not being able to handle my own footing. Apparently Mary Anne's bed shook because I fell that hard. Now I think back I do seem to remember being on something cold in a bit of a slump but reckoned it was just a dream. Anyway Professor said that he came up and asked if I was ok, to which I replied "I'm fine thank you very much" in my poshest and pissest British accent.
So Morpheus told me today, that I came to bed, started rambling on, he asked if I was ok and I apparently answered that "I am perfectly fine, in fact I know exactly what day it is, it's Tuesday, 4 o'clock in the afternoon". Hello it was 4am Saturday morning you stupid cow.
So there you go that was last night, so today wasn't exactly physical or mental for me anyway. Actually when Hermes and Aprhodite arrived I scaved one of Hermes cigarettes which is a very true sign that I was still drunk, which is very very bad.
Tonight there was an impromptu party that Mary Anne had put together for Professor which he had to be told about because basically he had to cook for it...ha ha, great or what.
Catherine and her bloke Neil came over, plus gorgeous skinny Connie and later her boyfriend Daniel. Our waitress from last night Heidi also came along which was funny as the more she had to drink (I was taking it easy for obvious reasons so could observe EVERYONE) the more she flirted with Professor which was hysterical. Of course me and the girls very rudely stayed in the kitchen most of the evening. To be honest, for me it was hard going socialising with them, never mind people that I hardly knew. I decided to let those poor people have a normal evening without me going on with myself. Although I do say I was getting very picked on by Aphrodite Bitch Woman tonight, don't worry she's got hers coming.
Of course Tex Man and Sweat Pant Boy never showed up, which was pretty annoying and clearly pissed off Mary Anne AND Professor even though it had fuck all to do with him, but you know how he loves his $5 dollars worth of interference.
Anyway when Carol realised that Tex Man wasn't coming she announced to us that she was in fact 8 weeks pregnant. Wow, we couldn't of been happier for her, honestly it's the best news EVER. She's such a dark horse to keep it in all evening like that, sneaky girl. So I guess I could get my old knitting needles out and start making booties. Then again I could just go to Burberry online and buy a pair, maybe that's best.
So even though me and Morpheus were still the last up tonight I was very sober and felt much better.
It had been a fun evening and Professor had gotten lots of attention which is the most important thing. Oh yeah we all bought Professor a huge professional food mixer which has more gadgets on it than bloody gadget man. Actually it's a very sexy piece of equipment and clearly Aphrodite was taken by it cos she's was dribbling over it all weekend.
