Re: News Flash

Hey Jena,..I was just about to text you..sounds like you have been honest with yourself and with Gooch. That is good. I know you have been feeling this way for awhile now. I didn't realize it was for his birthday! I also didn't know 2 other couples are coming (who are they? his friends? or yours? if yours, do I know them?)

• But the reason I was about to contact you is because an apartment does not look good unfortunately. I reed an email this morning asking if we have an apt for a girl Jeffrey wants to stay here for the next 10 days! Such a drag...I wanted to stay in an apt with Ike tomorrow night also and that is not going to happen either. I'm

so sorry, but I think you better gear up for that hotel.

I hope you arc doing ok Jena. You deserve to be happy :) I know this is a tough time period for you. You want Gooch to work but it is not a long term relationship in the making...

ΧΟ

omg, totally. That was very sweet of him and a very nice surprise I'm sure for all of you. I will look at fb

I'm glad Gooch is paying for the hotel room...makes me feel better.

So get back to me on who else is celebrating his bday. Maybe on the monday 12th I meet just you for a drink and let you move on to dinner with everyone else? I don't want to impose and may be easier for me also since I will need to get on home (I was hoping if you guys had an apt I could maybe sleep on the sofa you know!)

omg this email cracks me up...hell, if I can sleep in your bedroom and watch...and the other guests are heavy drinkers I am in ;) I am drawing a blank on the name of that restaurant...will get it in a minute. saturday night is hard cause a lot of the places I like normally during week, become bridge/tunnel on weekend. I think you are safe with meatpacking district however...Buddalcan is very cool, hip and great food. It used to be an old Keebler cookie factory so it is gigantic. The elves have moved out.

• Lavo is the Italian place right across the street from Tao. I think you should definitely have that on the list. I'd like to see that place. I talk to Mark PAcker on the phone all the time (JE"s friend and owns the place) don't think I can hit him up for a ressi though. If you want to go to a Steve Hanson restaurant I could help with that...just go to B.R. Guest web site.

:) hehehehe

I am now back with a ticket to nyc in my stupid ass hand. I told him to have no expectations of a future as I am fully confused and trying to work thru my unhappiness. He and I always have FUN, therefore, nyc will be FUN. But it's depth and value and meaningful moments that 1 need to sustain a healthy relationship. I have FUN making a sandwich by myself. Don't need a man for that, especially one who recently I have allowed to bring my spirits DOWN. So, we will do NYC this weekend for his birthday with two other couples and tear that city up at Christmastime and enjoy all its magic. When we return to reality, I'll deal with it. I was uber honest in telling him it was an extremely high risk situation for him. I am no longer going to tolerate any of his BS, and I'm on the mad to getting my light and my happy back. I fear I sound like Pam Brewer at the moment and excuse me while I quietly throw up in my mouth on that one.

2012 is going to be a big year of important changes and growth for your crazy as bat shit friend Jena.

Namaste, bitches.

WE reserved a room at the Westin so we are fine. I'm making him pay for EVERYTHING so whatever! lol I love the apartment because I love the space and it makes me feel closer to you and sort of like a movie star to have my own apt in the city, but no prob. And thank you, Lesley, for even trying. I love you. Gooch paid for the eight of us girls (see FAcebook) to have dinner last night surprising us when the check was all paid up. Reminded me of ROB MALLIN.

I expected u to stay in the a t with us! Ma be in our bedroom too? lol The other two couples are - you don't know them but they are AWESOME! They were his friends, but now they are mine too and - and I especially get along. They are all heavy drinkers and way way fun, so if you don't join us for a drink, you'll be in huge trouble with me! ■is welcome too of course!

I'm not sure where to do G's actual bday dinner on Monday... I know everyone wants some authentic Little Italy time one night, and possible Wolfgang's for steak one night? What do you rec for Sat nite? And what is the name of the Sunday hot spot you mentioned again? You are welcome to stay in our room at the Westin too, silly. I love you, lesley, always room for you. If he and I need to get our sex on, you can either

watch (haha) or wait in the bathroom. :) :) :)

Made dinner res for Gooch's bday at Lavo Monday at 8pm
