And what a scary (for a moment) Halloween it was! Sylvain and I were cleaning up the kitchen to make preparing dinner easier – and lo and behold, the kitchen sink decided to slowly drain for us. And I mean SLOOOOOW. So we cleared the the space under the sink, Sylvain grabbed some tools and voila, we have a temperamental drain – sometimes drains quickly, sometimes not.
Friday night, I had a dinner & movie date with my mom – we saw Being Julia with Annette Bening and Jeremy Irons – great ending!!! and had dinner afterwards at a new Mediterranean restaurant across the street – the best Baba Ganouj I’ve ever had! The Shawerma wasn’t bad either. I then went home and joined the “boys” poker game in progress. While I’m still trying to get a hold of the game, I ended being up from the $5 Sylvain gave me to play.
Saturday, our correct refrigerator was finally delivered. Now, the water line needs to be connected and we’ll have a fully functional refrigerator…finally.
Sunday, we again, spent a lot of time and way too much money at Home Depot. We updated light switches (but stopped short of updating the actual outlets; which was probably a wise decision) and also changed out the knobs on the kitchen cabinets. We were too pooped and not drunk enough to venture down to Castro Street for the festivities, so instead we handed out candy and tried out our new whirlpool tub!
