The First Dinner Table

We invited a few friends over for dinner tonight for our housewarming.

My mom cooked spring rolls, a gigantic ginger beef stew, hand wrapped dumplings and salad. My husband and I went out to the local dollar store to purchase paper plates and forks; then headed to the liquor store for wines and beers. I’m feeling extremely grateful and full. I hope that the seniors in my building didn’t think we were too loud. Maybe it’s okay since I still, haven’t seen anyone in the hallways - so no worries. Where are you guys at!?

I also noticed that tonight was the first time that we actually had friends over for dinner where we actually sat down at a table ate and connected together. All ten of us had our own seats.

We didn’t have a dinner table in SF. We sat at our bar in black bar stools from Wayfair until we moved. It did the trick, but we hoped for a dinner table where our feet touched the floors after a long day’s work and a place where we can invite friends over and hang out :)

Tonight, we also played Mah-Jong! Everyone learned how to play quickly and welcomed my mom, who gave Tiger mom pointers throughout the two rounds.

I’m still, working on the interview presentation next week as well and did that today until my husband peeled me off the desk to head over to the dollar store.

It’s time for bed at 1:48am. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reconnecting.
