01/03/05 Peter & David
have Udon; Celebrating Erin and Aaron's Engagement; Richard's Window
gets Dressed:
This morning, David and Peter had a lovely chinatown breakfast.
This evening, Natalie and I picked up an Eileene's Cheesecake, and went
over to Aaron's apartment to congratulate him and Erin on their
engagement! Even though they've been together for 5 years, since our
Freshman year of college, it's still kind of a shock to see the fairly
sizeable rock on Erin's finger. They have announced that they are
moving to California in June so that Aaron can go to law school, and so
that Erin can pursue Acting in a much larger pool of work (L.A.).
But before all that, we played a puzzle-book game. 6 pieces fit
together to make a solid shape in only one very hard to figure out
combination of positions.
Before Erin arrived from a late night at her job (which she has come to
hate) at her kids-gym, we decorated the cake.
Natalie got so into figuring this one out, that I'm not sure she
noticed the fork on her back.
Then Erin arrived, ecstatic to show us the ring! And she said that even
though she's been showing it to tons of people for a few days now,
she's still as excited as she was when she first put it on! She so....
marry-happy.
The kitchen was not much help in cutting up the cake, as Mike and Aaron
have basically pretended that they do not have a kitchen. So, they
don't even have a knife!! Or any utensils. This is because their
kitchen, which has a range, an oven, a sink, a few cabinets and
drawers, and a fridge.... is only about 1 foot wide. The oven door
can't even open all the way before hitting the opposite wall!!!
So, we had to cut the cake with a plastic fork. (Probably the one I
just stuck on Natalie's back!)
They did decorate their almost totally-empty fridge with magnets.
After celebrating with Erin and Aaron, we came back to Brooklyn, and
found Rich and his dad, hanging curtain rods and putting up blinds, etc.
