more vegan goodness

well. when i barely have time to write at all it looks like you all come back. thank you. i've missed you. i love you all. i really could get used to the 4 comment a day thing. i think you should keep it up.
so, today was wedding day. we knew it would be a slow morning at the flower shop because it's good friday, but ch's wedding finally scheduled this week at 4.30 and mairee and dave were comming for me at 3.30. it's crazy, we only do like two weddings a year, and it seems both of the consultations are the same day- it ened up being at the same time. ch evesdropped for me for the first hour of mine, but then his party came and we were still on bridesmaids. so it was trial by fire. they're both going to be beautiful weddings. mairee's will be hot pink ravel roses and dendrobium orchids, yellow solidago and white stephinotis and lots of ivy. ch's is going to be lavender roses, violet larkspur, and lime green dendrobiums. mairee's is going to be alot bigger than i expected, it really will be my first major floral chalange in a long time. but i am developing skills, and ch will be there to help me!
i can't believe how late my consultation went, ch and i really wanted to have a drink to debrief, but i had told kristy and simon i'd be meeting them. so i came back to hyde park and the three of us drove to soul vegetarian east! i only get to go when there's a ride, so it's always exciting for me. a, next time you visit, perhaps we can brave the train. it's so greasy! ever since it was on that tv show it seems to be full of white people. kristy and simon knew about it already cause there are branches in dc. kristy went all out and had the meal- 2 different kinds of greens, fried tofu, and lasanga. i had carrot supreme salad and a bbq twist sandwich- we decided it was wheat gluten imitating ribs. it was really good! simon just got a noodle dish, whiich wasn't extraordinary.
we went back to simon's brother, driving right past g's place. no lights on. i miss her so much. she should be back from mexico soon. i don't know why, i don't see her more than once a week- or once a month- but just not being able to call or email makes me pine. anyway, john lives on hpb too, in such a typical place. it's 4th floor walk up, enormous, decrepid. it's a u of c bachelor pad- a mess with junk everywhere, bookcases full of literature and philosophy, signs stolen from 55th street. they were watching basketball, so simon and kristy and i just picked up coffee and cigarettes to watch on my computer. HOWEVER, it was on vhs. now i don't have my escapetv hooked up, and when i tried to load the cd it said i needed os9 and when i tried to load it it said it was just an update and i needed an earlier version of os9! so we watched one of my netflix, the handmaid's tale, instead. we had a little cousin talk (poor simon) and they left, and i started thinking and blogging. i have dinner with mairee tomorrow, and i hope it goes well. i love mairee so much, but she can really get me down. i'm doing ok right now, because even though it's friday night i went out. but now it's getting late and i should go to bed. because sleep is the only cure for friday nights, and this has been the best one in a while.
