Since Ron, my significant other, has been on jury duty for the past week and a half, he had to spend today in the office to catch up on some work. This foiled our plans to go to Hartford, CT this weekend for a party his niece and her husband were having at their new house. The weather was perfect today and it would've been nice to be "in the country" - but it's not a big deal. We'll make it up there another weekend.

You'd think with this great weather I would've found something more interesting to do than alternate between sitting at my Mac and sitting in front of my TiVo all day long...but no, that was pretty much it until a friend of Ron's called to see if we wanted to catch a movie with him. Since Ron was still at the office, I declined the couple invite, but it turned out that this friend's "wife" (they are sort of seperated, but still friends and it's too complicated and too much of an invasion of their privacy to tell you more) was interested in seeing the Julia Roberts/John Cusack chick flick, which neither of our "spouses" would be interested in anyway, so I decided to go see the movie with her - just us girls. And her "husband" stayed home with their adorable child, while my man stayed at the office.

Turns out Moviefone.com was just plain wrong about the time the movie actually was playing. Moviefone said there was an 8pm showing, but there was only a 6:45 showing, and an 11pm showing. But we didn't know that until we got there at ten to 8. So instead of a movie we enjoyed a nice evening walking around and talking girl stuff and eating some of the best chinese food I've had in a long time - at a place in Battery Park City called LiLi's. It's right next to the movie theatre. You should check it out. Order the large bowl of hot & sour soup and be prepared to share with the table...it's huge!

It was a nice time though. She and I don't get together too often. We should though. I like her. She's good people :)
