  Tuesday night Sushi Last night, I had dinner with most of the crew at Sushi House in Alameda. So, here's who the 'crew' usually is: Alan, me, Eileen, Rick, Johanna, Jane, Oscar, Rowena, Chris, Eric, and Marjorie. We waited about 1 1/2 hours to get seated. I didn't know it got so busy at night! So good though... Island roll!!
Afterwards, we went to Albertson's to pick up some chips for the salsa at Jane & Oscar's place, and we also picked up some ready-to-bake cookies and milk. We went over to their place, and just hung out. We played Texas Hold-Em poker and blackjack with all the coins in Oscar's coin jar. Johanna showed us pics from her trip to Thailand and they showed me pics from their Vegas trip this past weekend! We had lots of fun, especially for a weeknight and especially without any adult beverages :) Still hunting Alan and I are still on the hunt for a reception place. We've visited half a dozen places but only liked one so far. We have more appointments this weekend and at one of them, we finally get to have a food tasting! Alan is very excited about that! :) Work is busy! I've been so busy at work these past couple of days!
It's crazy! But I guess when I go to Vegas next week, I know I'd have earned it. Covad Winter Gala We went to Alan's company holiday party on Saturday night at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose. Great place, great good, and great entertainment/music. I got to meet a lot of his co-workers and talk to them and their wives. He introduced me as his 'fiancee' for the first time and they all asked how he proposed. It's fun telling people the story. ALIAS! It was soooo good. Can't wait to see what happens next!
