[I have officially admitted to myself that I am NOT catching up on the blog. But this weekend is fairly empty of comittments, so I'm trudging on.]
Wednesday, January 21st
We got invited to a party! A family that lives on the block is hosing a Chinese New Year's Eve party, and we'll finally get to meet some neighbors. I'm excited, but a bit nervous about meeting people. And there's also the question of what to wear... it didn't give a dress code on the invite. I mean, I'm sure everyone else knows or thinks it's no big deal, but this is our fist time invited to someone's home, and I don't want to offend. If I wear something completely wrong I can always spill something on myself and then go back up to our place to change. I do know to take off my shoes entering the house, though, our real estate agent briefed us on that one.
Tonight was also Millie's last night in quarantine, so we went to a nice place to celebrate not having to drive back and forth to the kennel every night. We went to a place called IndoChine, which is a fantastic Asian Fusion restraunt in Holland Village. A bit pricey, but they had 2-for-1 drinks that night so that certainly helped the celebratory mood. By the way, they call them 1-for-1 here, not 2-for-1, as in "buy one, get one free", not "two for the price of one." As John Travolta stated in Pulp Fiction, "it's the little differences". There are many.
The movers are coming tomorrow with the sea shipment, so we'll finally have all our belongings, including decent living room furniture, and clothes. The Pet Embassy folks are also dropping Millie off for us, so she'll get to see her new home for the first time. David will be working, of course, so I get to handle it all myself. Wish me luck!
