Tapas and troubles

Woke up this morning to the news that my much-needed student loan has been denied, even with the security of a well qualified co-signer. Fun fun. Turns out the screwing over Aaron & I got from AES is still haunting us and not even my brother's huge salary and spotless credit can save us!
So the next year or more is going to be miserable and miserly, pinching pennies and worrying from day to day to day to day. Hey, its a recession right?

So it seems only fitting that last night we had a wonderfully fulfilling evening of food and friendship at Jeff's! We had a dinner party with a "garden fresh tapas" theme. What a blast! Aaron and I went overboard as usual- spending more than we aught to achieve "garden fresh". Jeff spent alo0t less because he actuall has a garden and grows some fabulous vegetable and herbs!!

Anyhow, we had some great culinary innovations- I'm proud of my offerings and Aaron has invented something quite new and beautiful and exciting! So new and exciting that I'm not going to say anything more about it until it's prfected and marketed in our pastry shop one day!

Oh I sincerely hope we open a chocolate\pastry shop someday soon-- Aaron is so gifted and talented and innovative and passionate... I really think this is his calling.

Oh. And we didn't win the lottery, so still no hope for the house on Arlington street :) We figured if we had millions of dollars to play with it wouldn't matter who bought the house: we'd just walk up to them and say "how much you want for it?" and then it would be ours!

But no such luck.

Right now Aaron and I are headed over to grandma's to see aaron's cousins who are up visiting from Florida. We get to meet 2 or 3 new ones!
