Best birthday ever!!!
Dear all,
What is the latest news?
Well, I have not moved into my apartment yet but at least I have the keys. My furniture has arrived, but it should now be going through customs. Hope they leave my stash alone...LOL
Weather has been treating us well lately, we cannot complain. Nice and sunny with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees.
My good friend Ellen dropped in from Belgium last weekend to celebrate our birthday together. Hers was last week, mine next Saturday.
It was magical and the best birthday ever. She arrived at 1pm, we went immediately to Ikea to look for some stuff I needed. Then I showed her my apartment, which she approved. Apparently, she thinks my future place is awesome. At 7.30pm, I got the call from the doorman telling me my taxi was waiting for me. Ellen had rented a limo to take us for a ride through New York for 1.5 hours. It was amazing. We drank a bottle of champagne while gazing at the beautiful scenery. We were completely mesmerized.
Afterwards we had dinner at a restaurant located in a cathedral. After a bottle of wine and a nice dinner, we had a good laugh and decided to call it a night. (we were exhausted actually).
On Sunday, it was my turn to give Ellen a present. So we went to the US Open to watch the tennis matches in the Arthur Ashe Stadium. We saw John McEnroe, Rafael Nadal, the Williams gorillas...euh...I mean sisters, Andy Roddick and even Justine Henin. This last one being our countrywoman, totally blew us off by not signing the Belgian flag we were waving at her. Needless to say that we were pissed off after that. Justine is never getting any cheers from me again. That B**ch...
Later that day we indulged ourselves of food and wine at an amazing restaurant. No wild parties, sorry, as we were both exhausted from all the excitement at the Open.
Ellen left yesterday, leaving me behind alone... But I don't despair as she will be back soon.
Besides I have another guest arriving tomorrow and next weekend Washington DC will have the pleasure of welcoming me.
Hope you are all OK.
