Christmas On Houston


December 17 2024.

Today I thankfully slept in.

I did set an alarm to get an earlier start, but that didn't happen.

The alarm must have been turned off, and I slept until 47 texts came through in a group chat, around 1.

When I did wake up I went through my phones, went to the post office with the chocolate I got my mom, and then waited in line.

I waited in line for a bit to ask if this was the right box, which was not.

So I got the right box, and then a man in line lent me a pen.

If I would have had my bag, I would have had a pen, but I didn't.

Then I put the chocolates in this mini cooler I had with an ice pack, and sealed it up.

The girls at the Louis Vuitton counter said I needed them frozen, but I froze them last night, sent them in the cooler thinking that would be safe.

Then the girl at the post office said Grand Junction isn't in a zone that qualifies for overnight delivery.

So, my present won't arrive until Thursday.

Hopefully they're fine.

I wrapped them in cellophane twice, so fingers crossed no water damage. And just a hope that they survive in general.

While I was at the post office I talked to Julia and Hayley.

Then I came home, got ready, and headed out.

I met Anna and Kate at Torrissi.

We stood in line for about 20 minutes.

Were told they don't offer bar seats to parties of 3, but we might get in a canceled table.

So we waited, and let Anna go in.

A moment later she came out to get us.

Then when were were there, I thought the host was basically saying we'd have to come back at 7.

But, she was saying they needed the table back at 7.

We stayed til 8 I think.

They never said anything. So, I guess it wasn't pressing.

We ordered the cucumbers, octopus, and hams with zippole.

All of those were good.

And instead of a main we just did four pastas.

Tortellini pomodoro (times two), cavatelli with beef ragu, and a maccheroni amatriciana

The pomodoro was still my favorite.

We also ordered the scallop potatoes, and those were interesting.

For dessert I had the almond cheesecake again, and Kate and Anna did the affogato.

Kate took a cab home, and I walked with Anna to the Houston 1 station.

When I got home I steamed a bit, talked to Bailey and Kinley, and then Jason.

He had been called by a detective saying he'd been identified as a person of interest in a theft at Saks Off Fifth in White Plains.

Which is unbelievable on all counts.

White Plains? Saks Off Fifth?!

Probably couldn't even give him that garbage.

Anyway, I was giving him suggestions as how to prove his location for the day in question.

It made me wonder.

I mean thankfully I blog everyday, but having any real paper trail might be challenging.

Makes you stop.

Until Tomorrow.
