If Thursday is a holiday, then that makes Wednesday the friday of the week. Hence the lack of entry for Wednesday. I'm notoriously (I can say notoriously because I've been at this for a month now) bad on Friday nights. I guess it's because we always stay up a bit later than any other night of the week...save Saturdays when we paint the town red with friends.

Today was, yet again, a gorgeous day here. No rain. No clouds. T-shirt weather even. I had planned to spend most of the day working on freelance projects and Eva wanted to clean house. What did we do? Neither one. We slept in, ate leftover Indian, and managed to walk to the park and back.

To be honest we weren't each other's best company. :( We made up for this later, of course, but initially we would have rather spent time doing our own thing. Why? Because Eva's a working girl, and weekends are too short.

I had a beef about seeing Europe. And Eva had a beef about resting. I said she didn't seem to want to see any of Europe's more fascinating places. She said she didn't have time to "do nothing."

This led to a morning and early afternoon of huffs and rollings of eyes...only to lead to Eva spilling the beans about a "secret" trip she had already planned for us to go to Germany a couple of weeks from now. This led to me initially not believing her, "That's a nice thing to make up to smooth things over." And then I made her look at me dead on...eyes into my eyes...and I insterted foot into mouth. We're going on a trip. She had planned a regular ol, "in the trunk I've packed, a cooler and a two-day suitcase." (this is taken from Power of Two by the Indigo Girls)

Oh well. But now things are smoothed over. Anything can be smoothed over by spagetti with home-made meatballs and a nap on a sunny, lazy would-be workday.

So today i guess I learned that Eva is full of secrets and ideas I have yet to know, and that I can be a jerk. Tomorrow it's supposed to be rainy...but I know two people that won't seem to mind. Us.

By the way, Jessica and Eric are in town and have invited us to Luxemburg for the weekend. Castles and French. I'll step into Germany just to say that I've been there.
