House-warming

Its been a busy week and tonight is the party. I expect almost all the staff, and some spouces too. Brent and I have gone halfs on the party supplies and there should be lots of food and drink. I think guests are bringing stuff too. Not the least of which willbe Rakia!

Here is what I emailed to my sis earlier today, so I can be lazy and paste it here.

Today we are having a house-warming here. I went and bought yummy things and am going to make bruchetta and crackers with smoked salmon and creme cheese and dill on them. I am looking forward to all the staff coming over, and went and got possibly the best haircut I have even had in my life, earlier today. I feel like a woman, and look like one too! Anything is possible!

Brent lives next door as you know so the basement is a hubub of activity right now. We did laundry, went to have lunch on a patio since its about 20 degrees out, and now we are cleaning and preparing for the party. He is playing music loud enough for us both to hear and fortunately we like the same music, so its already party mood here. Weezer is currently playing!

I have 4 days off this coming weekend and dont know what to do with myself. I have hired one of my students to come and walk Oscar. She is a really sweet girl, and reminds me a lot of you when you were her age. She even looks a bit like you did then. Maybe that is why I have gravitated towars her. Her name is Yalnada, but we call her Yoli. She lives nearby, has met Oscar and loves him already. I am going to pay her 25 leva to walk him three times a day and play with him for those 4 days. I also trust her with the keys to my place. Now I just have to figure out where to go. Greece, or just to Sofia. I need to dance. That much I know for certain.

For the party tonight I bought a bottle of 8 year old rum from Duty free when we went to Romania last week. Its waiting to be cracked open, and Petya's and my favorite drink is Cuba libre, so I dont think there will be much left of it at the end of the night.

I will take photos tonight and try to email it to you. I dont have my cable here, so I am at the mercy of others to get the images off the cards and onto CDs for now.

I picked up Petyas wedding pics last night. The are really good. She will love them.

OK and I are saying Ciao for now. He is going to help me chop onions for the bruchetta since dogs dont tear from Onion fumes.
