drunkeness. i has it.

Hello Stash,

Glad you had a good time at the class dinner, even if the sound show was somewhat lame. The bracelet scheme is brilliant -- much awesomeness there. Perhaps your classmate C can teach me to cook in the fall; I'd like to know how to make dumplings!

Speaking of cooking, I was very impressed by the domestic skillz of my friend M. She whipped up a lunch of roasted chicken, sauteed carrots/brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes with caramelized onions. You would have enjoyed it.

I'm jealous of how nicely they've made their place into a home. M said they took deliberate steps to do that, staying in a lot, buying furniture together, since she really wanted to feel settled after a tumultuous year and he was new to NYC. I really look forward to that -- us having a place that really feels like ours.

Anyway, the lunch was good -- but I got totally *wasted*! I started sneezing like crazy when I got to their place. I think high pollen counts were part of the reason, but there was a lot of dog hair, too. Anyway, M gave me some non-nondrowsy allergy medication, and then I made the mistake of sipping wine with my lunch. Halfway through, I was sooo buzzed and sleepy. I wound up stumbling my way to Jordana's house, tripping over my own shoes, guzzling coffee to try to sober up. I was drunk at 4pm on a Saturday! (At least I know what to take if I ever have trouble falling asleep though.)

I look forward to seeing you Sunday.

much love,
your (boozy) girl
