I actually started off today by getting up early and doing something healthy – I did my Pilates video and then went for a walk. I was dressed like a slob – black cropped yoga pants and a tank top with my over-sized Enter The Haggis hoodie, all coated with white cat fur and feathers from our down comforter – and my hair was crappy but I figured that it wouldn’t matter because I couldn’t possibly run into that many people while I was out on my walk. Turns out I was wrong. I had my music playing pretty loudly on my iPhone but kept thinking that I heard fire engines and bagpipes. Then I turned a corner and ran right into a parade.
That was pretty unexpected. Apparently today was Niska-Day. I really like Niskayuna – it’s so cute. The houses in our neighborhood (well, actually the Niskayuna neighborhood that is adjacent to our Schenectady neighborhood) are so freaking adorable. I wish that the owners of this house would randomly decide to move and also sell us their too-cute-for-words house for a very affordable price:
We went to Amy & Leigh’s house up in Cossayuna for their daughter, Morgan’s, first birthday party. The drive up was soooooo much longer than we remembered it to be. We ended up leaving for the party a little late and then didn’t get to their house until almost 5 – when the party was scheduled to end. We had a really nice time and stayed much longer than we expected. Our plan was to grab dinner on our way back into Saratoga and then go to the Parting Glass to meet up with Dodi and Scott and see Hair of the Dog. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to dinner until around 8:30pm and our waitress was pretty terrible so we weren’t done with dinner until after 10pm. Since the show started at 8 and we’d be getting there over 2 hrs late and we were both tired, we just headed home.
On the way home on Route 50 there was a sobriety check by the Saratoga Sheriff’s department. Alex was driving and has nothing to worry about but he kind of clammed up when the cop shined the light in the car and asked us where we were coming from. “Dinner!” I said, from the passenger seat. “Oh yeah? Where’d you have dinner?” “Uno’s.” “Oh! Uno’s in Saratoga – I mean, Wilton?” “Yeah.” “Was it good?” “No.” The cop did a double-take. I love responding to people in the exact opposite way that they expect. I love to watch their reactions. I think I get this from my Dad… The cops started laughing and talking to each other as they waved us on. “She said dinner at Uno’s in Wilton was bad – ha ha ha! You should totally call and order six pizzas and then never show up!” Alex and I thought it was funny that a cop advised us to totally dick the restaurant over.
So today was a good day overall, though I wish that we’d gotten to the Foster’s earlier so that we could have made it to hang out with Dodi and Scott and see HOTD tonight – it’s been so long since we’ve been able to do either of those things!
