Last night, I went to Craig's parents' place for dinner.

But I'll start with the beginning of the day.

As usual, I went to Church on Sunday like the Good little christian girl that I am. HA, yeah right. I was RIPPED from my warm bed and FORCED to go to the hell my parents call church. I finished off "Of Mice and Men" during service. It was very sad. I have been reading it only during services for the last two services and I finally finished it. poor lennie. Doesn't know his own strength.

I didn't eat at church because they were doing a fundraiser and food was $5. I didn't want to spare the money so my sister and I kept the money for ourselves and left.

At church, I asked Brenda if she wanted to see "Amelie" at 3pm that day and she said yes and that she would bring Emily too. We agreed to meet at 2:45 at galleria.

I called Craig and he wanted to come too so after sitting around my house for three hours, I went to pick him up at 2:30.

Oh yeah, an hour after I called him he called me to ask if I wanted to go to his parents' place for dinner. I was sooo going to say no because it didn't fit into my day's plans but he really wanted me to go and I've said no the last few times he's asked me so I ended up saying yes.

It took us forever to find a parking spot at the movie theatre and we were wondering why it was so busy there. Surely it could not have been because of the usually not busy theatre.... Unfortunately, that was the cause of the deadlocked parking lot. And everyone was there to see my movie, "Amelie". It was sold out for both shows that day, 3pm AND 7pm. So it was all for naught. Blah. At least Brenda and Emily got to meet my fabulous boyfriend. We contemplated going to another movie but nothing good was playing so Brenda and Emily went to eat and Craig and I went back to his place.

We watched some tv and ate some of the candy I had bought for the movie. Then we started to fool around but I didn't think we were actually going to have sex. I had not planned for this. I had not showered since the day before and I was still wearing the same underwear from the day before! yes yes ew ew.

So after some insistance on Craig's part to adjourn to his bedroom I said "can I take a quick shower here?" and I think he got a glint of understanding into the reason for my reluctance and he readily agreed, even got me a huge towel. He asked me if he could join me, I said no and shut the bathroom door.

I took a quick body shower (did not wash my hair because it would take forever to dry) and went in to Craig's bedroom with only a towel on. I went under the covers to warm up and we had FRIKIN FANTASTIC SEX. We came at the same time (that makes four for four since he has come back) and then cuddled for a bit and then we got up go to his parents' house.

It was a really well done dinner. The table was set very nicely with candles and place settings and cloth napkins. Please keep in mind that I NEVER eat with my family, this is new to me.

We had chicken parmagiana, salad that Craig brought, bread, pork roast, veggies, and these delicious scalloped potatoes mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. oh yeah and wine but I didn't have any. For desert we had two bite brownies, Hello dollies that Tara had made (Craig's brother's wife) and butter tarts. SOOO GOOD.

Dinner conversation was alright. I didn't really talk much. Claire is almost two. She's Craig's brother's daughter. She's really cute and all during dinner she was saying hi to everyone. "Hi mimi (Craig's mom), Hi papa (craig's dad), Hi mama (her mom), Hi dada (her dad), Hi leli (kelly, Craig's sister), Hi on (John, Kelly's husband), Hi nana (me)" and sometimes she would say hi to egg (Craig). I think she says it less often because it's hard for her to say. She kept on saying my name though "nana, nana" and she would rub her food laden hands on me but I didn't really mind.

After dinner, we sat around the living room and talked. Craig's mom asked me some questions and then there was a lull when Craig left to go to the bathroom were I just kind of awkwardly smiled at her and then I started talking about this child with no arms that I had heard about on tv the day before.

Craig showed me around their place.It's actually a two-storey condo. It's really nicely decorated. They changed a few things when they moved in, even finished the basement so that now it's a tv room. Lovely.

We left at about 9pm and Craig drove me to my car parked at his place. He asked me if I wanted to go in but I wanted to go home so he stayed with me in my car as it warmed up (sweet) and we kissed goodnight.

He's been talking more and more about leaving (taking the year or whatever off). This does not make me happy.
