Spring arrives

On Thursday, I met up with C's roommate J, to try to see the vision of loveliness J has been telling me about for the past 6 months. No luck, but it was the perfect afternoon to spend pondering beauty.

On Friday, I was desperate to get out, so E and I went to Fell's Point. I wore a loose dress that I've been waiting to wear for weeks. I was happy to keep walking around, but E made me pick a place so we went to Mezze (It's Mediterranean tapas.) I chose somewhat badly, but still adored the pastirma. The meal took a while and E told me about some details of his field. I also took stock of Baltimore and found that although I didn't like most of the other patrons, I was happy to see such people spending their money in my city. (I was just sober enough to not correct the man describing the Meadowlands Sports Center. The Devils don't play there anymore, and they never played in Giants Stadium!)

Saturday meant running errands. I went to Nordstrom to get a bra, and walked out with a very, very pretty extra one. J called and demanded I/we meet up with him to see his divine woman, but I needed a rest before going out again. Later, E and I walked to his place and we made strange cocktails. (I was happy to have a gin and sprite, like I would drink a decade ago in college. Blue drinks are not ok with me.) Drunk, and hungry, E and I convinced J to accompany us to Ruby Tuesday, where we both got mini-burgers and the salad bar. And more drinks.

I slept in a bit on Sunday and read.
