Friday**BLINK**Monday

Friday night was wonderful. As planned, we went to Riazor, where stephen presented me with a gorgeous fountain pen with sterling silver accents. we walked around the city for a little while and stopped a little french cafe` on 9th avenue for sweet crepes and coffee, because the Italian cafe we usually go to had a 45 minute wait. afterwatd, we trekked back home and collapsed.

Saturday:
stephen had to work, so i had the day to myself. i hung out with John at the salon for a while, then went to Best Buy and bought my MP3 player (it's coming on Friday!!), cashed my check, picked up the stamps from the framer, a surprise for MS (don't tell her), and bought Stephen his anniversary gift (don't judge. i've been getting home late every day since i started training TNG, it was my 1st opportunity), a Swarovski frog. i ran home, did some laundry and then baked him a pecan pie (he had wanted pie Friday night, but since we had to go to the French instead of Italian cafe` they didn't have it; he was really fiending that pie). after the pie came out of the oven i picked him up at work. we chilled for a little while at home, then met up with my parents for dinner at the diner. we came home, watched some of Grey's Anatomy (Season 2), a little Smallville (Season 5) and All About Eve.

Sunday:
very chill day. i baked some Pumpkin Spice cookies, we went food shopping for the week, and just hung about. Stephen replanted the garden. sometime in the early afternoon, Erin called to let me know that she and her husband wouldn't be able to make our wedding because his brother just got engaged and are getting married the same day. i'm not happy...i'm actually really bummed. i understand it's his brother's wedding. they have to go to that. it still leaves me disappointed.
