What an awesome weekend!!! 2 FEET of SNOW on the ground!!!! I took like a million pictures! Finally we have some kind of winter like behavior!

So being snowed in this weekend proved to be a perfect setting to be glued to the TV to watch the Olympics while sipping on that hot chocolate with whipped cream (fat free- sit back down!)

However, all the cozying up that was going on I still had some time to run out and conduct a Blizzard'06 of my very OWN... at a friendly store... Swept in and out with 2 pairs of shoes and a few silk tops...

Ok, so too tired now, tomorrow a total photo entry!

OH, and I almost forgot... had a sorta marriage proposal from a certain young man in Singapore appropriately during browsing the bikini isle in the store... hehehe... you better step up your game Nico!!!!

True love!

....... exerpt from a lovely phone conversation this lovely evening.

Nico: ...you know tickets are are really cheap to Germany now....
Ale: ....yeah, and!? this is an invitation??
Nico:...yeah...one of many already!

(right, the other ones must have been "silent")

seriously am I just blonde? are these really invitations??

- "Berlin is very touristy... but a local knows the best areas... "
- "You've never been to Berlin? You must come!"
and my all time favorite:
- "If you fly over for dinner, maybe I'll pick you up at the airport"

I don't know, I think I'm old fashioned, but to me an invitation would sound like this:

- Come visit me in Berlin! My secretary is faxing you 3 itenuary choices I have taken the liberty to book for you. Let me know which one is most convenient.

yes, I AM old fashioned... a FAX!?!? you're right NO ONE uses a fax nowadays!

And if you're worried that he hasn't received clues weather or not I like him, well he DID!

Like when he asked me if I am for sure a good masseuse ... I said, I definitely am! But to be sure, I promised to go out and practice as much as possible this weekend... on all my dates... Now if this isn't a profession of true love, I don't know what is! damit!

Staten Island Ferry quote of the day...

Younger vulgar lady to an older vulgar lady:

YVL:
"I'm considering a princess cut diamond..."

OVL:
"Oh, yeah? I like those. I have a ring with a princess cut diamond, and that bastard is SO SHINY, that its even shinier than my f'king face."

(they both nod in approval...)

Ohhhh, and I get to ride the ferry in such intelligent company every day! OHHH, I hope Nicholas marries me so I can apply for EU citizenship... move to Germany and slowly start buying up property in Italy... Come on already, I can't wait!!!

Stage left - enter Blond boy

Heh-heeh heh....

OK so the date was a lot a lot of fun! Blond boy (he is blond) is totally great. I haven't really gotten a good look at him since I was staring at my plate the whole time...

Nahhh... just kidding!

He is a total cutie, has a similar sense of humor as my friends and I. This was a double date by the way, with Eye Candy and Mr. Eye Candy. Blond boy also has pretty eyes and nice teeth... (so if he was a horse, he'd be a healthy horse).

We went to my favorite restaurant of the moment and right from the start we were happy and friendly. It turns out that our jobs are actually very complementary... that is basically I would be contacting him if I wanted to acquire his company as a client... which I WANT...(!!!!)

After dinner we all went to this fun place for dessert and that's where I broke the rule of "NOT eating his sweets". I totally nibbled... though at least not with my hands... I used a spoon...

I'm sure at some point I did flash 3/4 chest at him, but it really was NOT intentional. I did laugh, but I watched myself to make sure it would not wake up any sleeping people in New Jersey.

So all in all, I did follow SOME of the guidelines. Like I totally kept my mouth shut when he told me that his family is Italian. I could have told him about my fantasy of marrying an Italian guy and living with him and his mom, eating spaghetti and having her do our laundry.... The strange thing is, he was so nice that I really did not feel a great urge to say outrageous stuff for shock value. I actually was a little shy... Except for the time I told him to take his shirt off. (Well, said that the collar was annoying him.)

Anyway, it was a blast! I like him, he will look good with my red dress I must wear to my friend's wedding and hopefully he likes me so we can get this show on the road.

Oh, in case you're wondering about #17. Profiteroles for desert was as french as we got. Though when I was saying goodbye, he grabbed me for a good strong kiss on the cheek... miaaau~

Tomorrow Eye Candy is supposed to arrange the "phone number exchange" so I guess we'll find out if he liked me or not...

Boy its late, I have a busy day tomorrow... which will start with an early trip to the hair salon, than lunch at Grandma and Grandpas for some gossip and discussion... and in the evening I will actually do something with cultural value, an evening at the NY philharmonic for some Mozart music. Trust me, I love Mozart, but I'd rather be listening to him on my way back from throwing myself of some snowy mountain all day! But what can you do if its like 50F in NY!!?!!

Wishing ya'll a great weekend!!!

Please dear, do as I tell you... just for ONCE!

Here is a picture from el Avion Bar in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. (Yeah, I just thought I'd ruin your weekend... yeah.)

Anyway, tonight is my date with the guy Eye Candy has set up.

And here are a few words from Grandma who swears that if I follow her "guidelines" it'll be a guaranteed "slam dunk"... (she used a much vulgar frase, but I'm keeping it PG13)

1. Don't laugh too loud
2. In fact, don't laugh outloud... just smile
3. Don't look around, stare at other guys, make comments about other guys' asses, OR his ass... just look down at your plate.
4. Don't talk too much
5. In fact, try not to talk at all
6. Don't wear too much make up, but DO wear red lip close (re-apply often).
7. DON'T MAKE FUN OF HIM, or make him cry! (DAMIT! there goes MY FAVORITE!)
8. Ditto for other patrons in the restaurant (DAMIT! there goes MY 2nd FAVORITE!)
9. Don't drink more than a glass of wine
10. Don't finish everything on you plate
11. SHARE your dessert with him, DO NOT grab his desert
12. Do bend down to fix something on your shoe and expose 3/4 chest for him
13. Act really embarrassed when you realize that #12 happened
14. Wear a bit of blush on your forehead, gives you a post-sex look
15. DON'T ask if he has any hot friends... DON'T ask too many questions about his brothers or cousins.
16. When complemented do not say "I know", rather say "Thank you" and look down
17. If he goes for a good night kiss, make it french.

OK, its not like I haven't heard this nonsense before... its just that besides #17, I was not executing.

Wish me a "slam dunk" for tonight... and feel free if you have any to add to the list, please do so!

Eye Candy, Turkish food... and.. Honey?

Last night I went out to dinner at this awesome Turkish restaurant with a friend of mine that I know since forever! (Lets call her Eye Candy) She and I were the tornadoes, we were basically crazy! We chased boys together back in junior high, we copied on tests, we tortured our teachers... what a blast! On her 16th birthday party I met my "first love". He was the one guy that was actually NOT invited to her party...

Ms Eye Candy, is actually a Mrs now. She's been actually trying to set me up with some friends of hers. I'd always just say, "nahhh". This time I said: "Ok, please... my only requirement is that he looks good on the arm at weddings, and is willing to travel... to weddings." Before I even finished the sentence she was flipping her phone open and dialing!
About 15 seconds later, I was booked for a double date for this Friday.

I really am on a mission... and the plot is thickening...

Ciao!
PS. Nicholas is getting fresh... He addressed me as "Hon" on a work related email!!!!
(That's like sexual harassment, no? Well, I HOPE it IS! I hope he finally comes to NY to harass me in person!)
