We got back from my parents' at around 9:30pm last night. We got off at the Laguardia airport connection but there weren't any yellow cabs around! Fortunately, a livery cab pulled over and asked if we need a ride. It's actually illegal for them to do that, but we were happy to see him... usually I get pissed off because these people honk at you if they see you waiting at the bus stop or walking somewhere. I think one was looking for its fare and it honked at us and I was like, "No! We didn't call a cab!" (because this happens a lot and I dislike being honked at) and the guy's window was down and he said, kind of sheepishly, "Oh, I'm sorry."

I didn't eat very well at my parents'. We stopped at a grocery store right after we got here and I got a loaf of Italian bread and some brie and snacked on that while we were there. Let's see if I can remember what I ate over the past couple days.

Saturday, we went to CitiField to some expo CBS FM had going on. It wasn't super exciting, just a bunch of booths, but some of the guys from CBS News at 5 were there and I guess we could have seen Rob Thomas if we had wanted. It was nice to see the stadium. We got hot dogs and ate them in the lower level seats... probably the only time we'll be in those seats! I actually think I mentioned this before. Anyway, the point was the hotdog. I wasn't even going to get one, but Ryan got 2 and then I ended up eating 1 of his. So not worth it.

Saturday night we went out with a few of Ryan's friends for his birthday. We went to a Nepalese/Japanese place called Yeti. We were given a little private room, but some of Ryan's friends are loud and it was too hot to keep the doors closed. We ended up getting some mean looks, but whatever, what can you do? Next year I'll suggest a non-Japanese restaurant because they tend to be on the quieter side. Danyell and James ended up staying until around 2:30 am... good times, they're fun to talk to. So, at Yeti I had a mango lassi, shrimp shumai, a crunchy spicy tuna roll and a salmon avocado roll- not bad at all! I had a peice of birthday cake which wasn't that great and a couple cups of coke which I don't normally drink.

Sunday, in addition to the brie and bread, I had a lot of rootbeer, some apple crumble, a salad with a vinaigrette I made, endive and some goat cheese. I'm sure I ate something else which I can't remember.

Monday, we went to Riverhead where I was able to find some more Orla Kiely stuff. Two more of the adorable pear/apple mugs, the green stoneware pitcher (I got the brown one earlier in the week) and a serving bowl in the same pattern. I wish I had gotten the orange pear tumblers, but I'm not entirely thrilled with the plastic or the malamine for that matter, but the pattern is so adorable that I just can't help but try to get as much stuff with it as possible! My mom and I each got 2 donuts and I got a medium latte. I had more apple crumble and we went to Bobby Van's for dinner. I had an iceberg wedge (blue cheese dressing, no bacon), salmon and had some of Ryan's mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. I think I had a sprite to drink

Tuesday I had a couple peices of olive pizza, for dinner we went to a diner and both got waffle sundaes... I also got an orange smoothie before I knew I was getting the sundae.

Today, I had a pint of vegetable fried rice, 1 packet of soy sauce, a medium iced caramel latte from Dunkin Donuts (Ryan went out and got it for me because I was sooo sleepy), a small couple of decaf, 2 tsps of sugar, 3 of those little plastic creamers with half and half and a peice of red velvet... The cake did nothing for satisfying my craving for something sweet and I'm going to try to remember that in the future. It's just not worth it! Ryan got irritated with my complaining, but it's frustrating spending money on something and just not being happy with it. We spend way too much money. We need to start using coupons and only buying things that are on sale (or the generic brand) and going to the place that offers double coupons.
