Ever since I moved in to her house, not quite a year ago, my roommate has been pestering me to go to Mai Thai. I'm a big fan of Thai food, so you would think I would easily cave to the pressure to eat it. Except that every time J invited me to go to Mai Thai with her, I always had other plans. So, when she finally told me, three weeks in advance, that she and her girlfriends were going to Mai Thai, and she hoped I would join them, I put stars on my calendar and blocked out any other potential activities. Really really glad that I did.
