night at home

Abigail, Althee and I made the best dinner last night and ate it on the deck. I love nights like this. i cooked up the orange chicken (trader joe's), jasmine rice and stir fried some veggies. Abigail taught us how to make veggie salad rolls and the dippy sauce for it. Then we made orange and vodka drinks. So good. I can't wait to eat my leftovers today for lunch. we were all so stuffed we couldn't move and had to sit around, groan and pat our bellies. not without abigail pushing us to eat more of the veggie rolls. if i had one more bite i felt like i was going to be sick. lol

afterwards we watched a movie, "the invisible." pass this one up. it's horrible. it was like watching a melodramatic music video that advertised itself as a "thriller" when there was nothing thrilling about it except when two of the characters shot each other and that was only a couple seconds long. even the part when the lead dude was beaten wasn't that gripping. it felt like an afterthought when i think it was supposed to be the turning point of the movie. it was all build-up and then a weak finish. i gave it a chance because it came from the same people as Sixth Sense and what were they thinking? at least there was good lighting and the shots were pretty. i'll give it that much.

I've been thinking about how it was great living alone and sometimes I miss it but then I have nights like last night and I really love living with these girls. It's nice having abigail there who doesn't like eating alone so she makes a point to have dinner together. Usually it's just the two of us. we've cooked some pretty amazing meals too. althee gets super excited when we ask her to join in. jamie's usually at work or busy but sometimes gets in on it. Or every morning abigail and/or althee's up with me and making coffee in the morning. I like that. Sometimes I get to sit at the table and have breakfast with someone. it's just a nice feeling having someone else home. i'm having roommate love today. ;)
