In the words of Ice Cube, today was a good day; I didn't even have to use my A-K.

Tonight

Andy and I had a wonderful time tonight! After exchanging gifts (he got me some movies, I got/constructed a director's chair for him and had a Beatles calendar for him too!) we went out for sushi. He has never had it before. He struggled a little with chopsticks, but it was pretty adorable! He tried the California Roll (the "beginners' roll"/ the roll for people that aren't really that into sushi but still want to eat it in order to look cool), and wasn't a big fan of it because it has more avocado than anything else, which washes out the rest of the flavors. I had a "Spicy Phoenix Roll" which is crab, spicy shrimp, and spicy crayfish (it's not spicy at all) with delicious crispy crunchy bits wrapped up in sesame seeded rice and this sweet rice paper. It's sooooo good. It comes with this dipping sauce which has a little spice to it, but overall it's fairly sweet. He tried that, and decided that the next time we get sushi, he's just going to get what I get since I know what I'm doing! We spent the rest of the night making fun of rom-coms and Adam Sandler movies that were on cable and eating homemade ice cream (his older sister is an AMAZING dessert chef- she made a whole plethora of cookies for Christmas, regularly bakes cakes and cupcakes from scratch, and then had made dark chocolate/cayenne pepper/cinnamon ice cream and vanilla ice cream with cherry cobbler inside of the ice cream!). It was a fantastic night, and I wouldn't have traded anything that happened today, from running errands with my sister this morning to typing this post. It couldn't get better!

Today my sister and I went on a bunch off errands for my mom. It was fun at first, but then it got really tiring. On the bright side, I had a really delicious lunch at Skyway (a drive-in burger place) with her, and Andy's roommate/best friend Matt was our waiter. We tipped well! I'm going to see Andy in about an hour. I'm excited! We're going to get sushi, which he's never had before. I've been craving a particular sushi roll, so I'm pumped!
