Davey's coming to NYC Labor Day weekend

So Davey wrote me yesterday and said he thinks the "Labor day plan will work." So I'm going to make plans for the weekend.

How does this sound?

Saturday
3-7pm hang out in Central Park
8-10pm Rayuela reservation in the LES
10-11pm Verlaine for lychee martinis

Sunday
11-1pm in Bridgehampton at Pierre's 2468 Main Street
1-4pm Cupsogue Beach (Westhampton, NY, $10 parking)
6-8pm dinner at the Palm, 94 Main Street in East Hampton

Monday
bid him adieu (farewell)

How's that itinerary? I might trade in the Rayuela reservation to cooking him Spicy Chipotle Lasagna, depending on whether he wants to eat in or not....I would cook for him, the first guy I've ever cooked for. I think I'm in love with him. :)

Real Madrid tied with Mallorca. They suck already. FC Barcelona won their game.

Watching the Yankees game and it's 2-1 over Chicago in the eighth inning.

Ted Lilly is placed on waivers despite pitching 5-0 with a 1.83 ERA. Maybe the Yankees can get Lilly and I can finally drool over him at home! A girl can dream, right?

Team Chapstick!

I got up at 4am this morning to cheer Team Chapstick on to become Team Lipstick. That's the triathlon team I was on briefly before I quit to focus on the Marathon. But now that I'm not running the marathon, I am focused on losing weight through managing my food intake.

Anyways, there I am standing, two from the left. Sara was also not racing but I didn't get to talk to her much. I am trying to see where to go in the Hamptons on Sunday for a romantic dinner with Davey. And she spent some summers in Amagansett so I was thinking she could let me know what's the in place to eat in the Hamptons.

Silver Lining

So Davey's not able to get out of work to come to NYC this weekend. He said there might be a slim chance and he'll know late Friday afternoon but don't plan on him being here this weekend. The silver lining is that maybe he'll be able to come up the next weekend, which is Labor Day weekend. We'll see. To be continued....

I ate Black Garlic pizza (garlic, mushrooms and prosciutto) from El Greco Trattoria. Very yummy. Having the leftovers.

Italian Baked Lamb Chops

I'm making this, Italian Baked Lamb Chops, for lunch and dinner tonight. Yeah, I'm back to cooking baby! I'll take a pic of my final product and append this posting in an hr or so................ Bon appetit!

Thank God I tried that recipe out before trying to cook it for Davey. It didn't turn out that well, I had to nuke it in the microwave to cook it because it was still visibly red on the outside. Didn't snap a picture because it didn't look so good. Now I have enough leftovers to feed me til the end of tomorrow. So I'm not going to my parents until Wednesday to stock up on some food. I'm poor this week. August has been a sloooooooow month.

Anyways, I was going through my recipes and I'll make the Spicy Chipotle Lasagna for Davey if he comes up to NYC this weekend. He mentioned in an email last Friday morn abt coming the weekend after which would make it this coming weekend, but he hasn't followed that up with a more substantive email so not sure. Anyways I asked him if he wanted brownies with almonds or vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I'm hoping he says brownies so I don't have to buy an electric mixer.

Coming this weekend

Davey wrote me an email Friday morning saying the weekend after is good and that he'll write me more by Sunday but it's Monday and he hasn't said anything more abt visiting so not sure if he's definitely coming this weekend. But I hope he does.

I'm going to bake him Magnolia Bakery vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting. Yummy. Either that or Duncan Hines fudge brownies with almonds. He has to tell me which he wants more.... the brownies will be easier and then I won't have to get a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

My Favorite Flowers

Dean & Deluca named these flowers Nicola roses and they are my favorite. No, Davey didn't get me these, I bought them myself -- a dozen for $10. Not bad. At Dean & Deluca they were $20. But at a flower shop on East 62nd and Lexington Avenue, they were $10.81 with tax.

Anyways, I decided to get them to brighten up the room. I hope Davey remembers to buy me some flowers when he visits me. He still hasn't indicated which weekend he can come up. He mentioned some good weekends, so not sure if he's coming up for more than one weekend. We shall see.

Falling in love...

I think I'm falling in love with Davey :)

Every time he sends me an email I get happy. So it must be love. Anyways, just thought I would update with the good news.

Finally feeling something for Davey!

He really liked the bikini shot I took of myself in the dressing room. that bikini is by far the skimpiest, and it's from Benetton, so it's a good buy at $34, 50% off. I'll include some shots when my replacement digital camera comes in the mail.

Have to go into work today, and miss my dig camera delivery. I'll have to pick it up via car tomorrow after the beach. Oh well it's just for 1-2 hrs.

Back Together with Davey

OMG, I broke up with Brian on Monday July 26 and three days later on Thursday July 29, Davey emailed me and asked if I wanted to visit him in MD. No apology, just saying if I wanted to come down, he'll pick me up in Baltimore. That he was willing to "forgive past transgressions." I emailed him back saying was he really going to forgive the mean horrible email I sent him. He responded later that night and said if it was said out of spite, he could forgive it.

Anyways, after dating Brian for two weeks, I realized I still like Davey. the only minuses are his age and he is living in MD. But I decided to go down to MD on Saturday and I had a blast. He bought me a bikini from Hollister and didn't make me pay for it :) since he threw away the bikini I left at his apt after that mean email. We went to Balducci's and he got me this expensive wagyu ribeye steak. We got home and took a nap then he cooked me dinner. It was the best steak I've ever had. Anyways, we watched Hot Tub Time Machine but 30 minutes into the movie I fell asleep. Boy was I tired. then we went to sleep, got up around 9am and had some coffee. It was a relaxing weekend. He said when I come down in the fall, he'll take me to DC. So I'm taking that as in when I go to see him in September. :)

Anyways, he said it's his turn to come and visit me. So he hasn't given me a specific weekend yet but maybe in 3-4 weeks. Not sure if I'm going to cook for him, since he's such a great cook. Maybe we can go to Rayuela, that's a perfect date place. I'll treat him since he is driving up to see me.

So I'm debating whether or not to tell my therapist that I broke up with him for those three weeks. I'm leaning to just saying he came up to see me. I don't want her to judge the relationship like my other two friends, Ka Ming and Jacqui not approving. Only Jackie is not judging my relationship, which I'm grateful for.

I got up at 3AM today after going to sleep around 8:30PM, so I sent Davey an email ard 4AM and he's yet to respond. I think he checks his email before he goes to work and after he goes to work since he doesn't have yahoo mail at work. I hope he responds by tonight.

Heading to my parents and Jones Beach today. Then Yankees-BoSox game at 7PM with Jackie. She got these $75 seats for her bday on August 18, so looking forward to that game between the Yankees and Detroit Tigers :)

Just wanted to say I'm back in a relationship and I'm happy. I could see myself falling for him. He is debating on whether to buy or rent in NYC so once he makes his mind up, he'll be moving to NYC. Can't wait to hang out with him more!
