Bonsai!

Well the weekend has come to an end and although I'm tired, it was crazy fun!
Started off Friday at Taj for Cristina's birthday. I had never been there before and it was really pretty and the music was good. If you ever go, don't believe it when they say ladies drink free 12-1. The only free drink is some kind of shot that they gave us, it was ok but one was enough.
Saturday we had Silvia's bachelorette party and it was so much fun! We started out at Arirang with friends and some of her family. We were very cautious with how much we drank since we knew it would be a long night- very smart on our part. Arirang is Silvia's favorite place to go. They do a little happy birthday Bonsai song thing that she loves, so we had them bring her the little cake and we all chanted "getting married" in Japanese accents instead of happy birthday when they brought it over, which is what she always wanted. It was pretty funny and she was very amused. After dinner 10 of us headed over to Culture Club to continue the fun. This was the first time her two married sisters have been out in about ten years and I think they even had fun. The night was pretty tame considering. Silvia drank enough, but not so much that she doesn't remember the night. Although Jenny wasn't feeling to good this morning, she called me fairly early, barely able to talk through the hangover, to tell me how much fun she had and to thank me for taking care of her on the limo ride home. I can't help it, even when I'm bombed for some reason some kind of motherly instinct kicks in when my friends are drunk- especially if it's Sil and Jenn- I just love those two so much and always worry about them.
Yesterday was a long hot day in Island Heights, NJ for my cousin's Christening. Always nice to see the family, but it was outside in a tent and saying it was hot was an understatement.
Today I was smart enough to take the day off. I have some cleaning to do but then I'm hopefully going to spend some time today with my cousin Mike who's in from Chicago.
