I was wrong to hate on my team builder last night. I actually had a good time, though I am paying for it now! We went to Lucca which was amazing then my boss surprised us with tickets to improv asylum and we had a few bottles of wine there and the show was great. The bad news is today is not fun and I have a hangover.
We are going to see my inlaws in CT this weekend and to check on our rental property, kinda boring but we are meeting some friends for brunch Sunday so that will be nice.
Glad you had fun last night! I went to dinner with one of my girlfriends last night and unfortunately ended up with some sort of food poisoning. I am feeling a bit better this morning but last night wasn't fun.
I am meeting a friend at lunchtime for some shopping. i'll probably continue to shop around Newbury after seeing her.
We're having a painter come next week so we need to figure out the colors tomorrow. I picked the nursery bedding and decor (http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/jackson-nursery-bedding/?pkey=bboys-nursery-bedding) so we'll probably pick that up, too. Saturday night we are having some of J's neighbors over for dinner.
Sunday is up in the air. I wish it would just stay warm. I'd love to go somewhere and just walk around outside.
Sounds like fun, Preppy, I love Lucca we went there last Friday! Hope you survive the day.
Tonight - office happy hour at the Yard House after work
Tomorrow - running errands and working on wedding stuff
Sunday - making corned beef and cabbage
Yum! How do you make the cabbage? It's my favorite but I don't know how to do it. Do you just boil it? What do you add? Or, do you just make it with the corned beef?

The only way I've done it is in the crockpot. I literally just put a corned beef in with some cut up some cabbage and then pour a dark beer, like Guinness, over all of it and it's great!

SO HAPPY it's Friday, wheeee! Last night, we had a 90th birthday party for one of the faculty at the end of the day, then a couple of us went to Charlies, and then my program had final dinner til 9 o'clock. I was here at 730 yesterday morning, and didn't get home til almost 9:30. It's been a long-ass week, so I am tiiiiiiired today.
I'm out at 230 today, thankfully, so I may go home and take a nap. Tomorrow, we're going to go to lunch and the movies in town, and then have fajitas and margaritas. Sunday, we probably won't do much of anything. And I was able to snag a last-minute dentist appointment for Monday at 11, so I'm taking a personal day and will be laaaaaaazeeee.
I will, but you guys are going to judge the befores like crazy lol. We moved in to our house 3.5 years ago and did NOTHING with our bedroom. The walls have nothing hanging, our curtains and bedding are mismatched leftovers, and we have no bed frame. Plus the room is only 10x11'. Its seriously the most depressing room ever and we've finally decided to do something about it.

If it makes you feel better since we moved our master bedroom is just a bed on the floor since I can't make any decisions about furniture. Can't wait to see what you do with the room!

Happy Friday! I am exhausted this week. Kids have just not been sleeping well. I cannot wait to sleep in tomorrow. Our plan is to continue cleaning and eventually purge stuff. We're just packed to the gills. Oh and we may even attempt an Ikea trip. I want to get some shelves for the kids' room so we can put crap where they can't reach it.
Tonight DH has fighter practice, so DD and I may go out to eat just us girls
Tomorrow I think I'm going to hit my knitting circle. I'm in a sock knitting competition and I'd like to finish mine off so I can do something else before the next round.
Sunday we're taking our Irish rose over to the Celtic Cultural Center for some St Paddy's Day lunch and activities
Rock-n-voll: I didn't end up shopping. I ran some errands and hit traffic heading over there so I only had about 30 mins to spare and I just walked around the north end until I met up with everyone.
We're having friends over saturday evening for a pre-St. Patrick's party so cleaning/laundry/groceries is on the agenda for tonight. I'm hoping to get some priming done (and aired out!) before people come over tomorrow. I'm working on all of our bedrooms this year

I think I have a complete random. I'm waiting for my volunteer shift to start in 30 minutes, so I'm sitting alone in the cafeteria at a table that seats 4 (it was the only table available when I sat down) and I've been here about 45 minutes. [ETA to clarify: not the only table, but all the tables that were available were 4- or more.]
So I'm sitting here GBCNing, and all of a sudden some lady puts her crap down across from me and sits down and starts eating. I'm totally not upset by it and I'm going to leave because clearly it's lunchtime now and the place is busy ... but she didn't say anything to me! Just sat down and started eating! So I looked at her and smiled a small smile, because, y'know, human being sitting at the same table and all. Then she says to me "Do you have anyone else coming?" No, but what if I had? This is weird, isn't it? Don't you usually say, "Mind if I sit here" or something?
Plus her food is really stinky. I can't place the seasoning, but whatever it is, it's not appealing to me.
