POD

posted Monday, 21 November 2005

My friends continue to make me feel loved like I never imagined. Abby & Maura drove from Boston this morning, to take me out for a celebration dinner. 6 hours in the car to take a friend to dinner? Crazy. That is love.

Nancy joined us for a fancy, dress-up dinner in Philly at a trendy place called Pod. They convinced me to wear a feather boa (which was a gift from Jess Jarvis), because "when else do you get to wear a feather boa"? Good point.

We could only get reservations at 5:45pm (fairly early), but we were hungry, so it worked fine. Their martini cocktails were color coded -- I had pink, Nancy yellow, Maura blue, and Abby green. We ordered several appetizers & 4 meals & shared it all family-style... yum... the chocolate trio for dessert wasn't bad either...

We were planning to have a night out on the town, but we wrapped up dinner by 7:30... the city isn't exactly "hopping" at 7:30pm... we would have to wait 4 hours before things would really get crazy... and we were all getting tired... so we headed back to my house and watched gilmore girls. just as good!
