Glad you had a good time with your friends, Rock! Sounds like a fabulous weekend. And for some reason, I have yet to try Tasty Burger. I need to get on that.
Friday, a bunch of us went to Park after work for drinks/food to celebrate my friend's last days at work. It was really fun - a couple of people who left ages ago joined us, so it was great to catch up on gossip. Saturday, I don't think we did much. Just a couple of errands, then finished up Arrested Development and watched Behind the Candelabra (which was really good, but also kind of weird). Yesterday, I got a pedicure and a massage, and it was heavenly.
Today, round one of the summer programs starts. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and they're not even here til 2 o'clock. It's going to be a looooong three weeks.
Also, if everyone could light a candle/send good vibes that the rain in the forecast for Saturday goes away, I would really, really appreciate it. We have Outward Bound on Thompson Island, and I SO don't want to deal with 62 people bitching about being wet. (Or, you know, spend the day on the island soaked.)

Yeah, I start obsessing over it as soon as the 10-day appears, but I know it could change. The only thing that worries me is the rain in the forecast for Friday- it usually shifts a day or two before we get there, so hopefully, it shifts 2 days, not one. We're also having a bbq when we get back, and there aren't enough seats in the room we booked, so we need for people to be able to sit outside.
We left Friday to go camping. It was pretty fun. The RV next to us started on fire and there was a huge explosion. Tons of fire trucks and excitement. Sleeping in a tent was not fun. Saturday we went to the driving range near the campground and played mini golf. Went to the ocean at the campground but it was freezing. We grilled out Saturday night and at that point I was SO hot and sick of being there, so we came home a night early.
Yesterday I didn't leave the house. I was in a lot of pain from sleeping on the ground.
Today I am headed to the pool supply store to schedule the opening for later this week.
Rock- your food weekend sounds glorious!
SCM- wish my dad was handy and would just show up!
Rock- your weekend sounds delicious. I love tasty burger! Scm- what an awesome surprise from your dad! Rikki- the fire sounds eventful! I don't blame you for bailing a little early, it was HOT to be in a tent this weekend!
My weekend was good, I went to RI for the day Saturday and went to the beach with my mom. Saturday night my DH brought home fresh tog and lobster he caught while spear diving in Glouster and we made fish tacos and grilled lobster, yum!
Sunday we sat by the pool in the morning and then I went to a baby shower for my college roommate in Sharon. It was cute, I had to make a onesie though and I am the least creative person ever.
Wasn't all bad and wasn't trying to sound like too much of a complainer. I think I would have loved it if I was 20 weeks less pregnant and it was 20 degrees cooler. This is the seagull that ran away with my cookies and as close as I got to the fire.
rikki, I hate camping. I love swimming, easy hiking, hanging by the campfire and roasting marshmallows. I hate sleeping on the ground, mosquitoes and showering at a campground. The best thing we do is visit our friends during the day while they camp, stay late by the fire and then drive home and sleep in our beds! Best of both worlds.
Our weekend was good. Awesome night out with some friends on Friday. Lots of yummy drinks outside on the patio at Max and Dylans in Bedford.
The rest of the weekend we pretty much vegged and shopped. I *LOVE* Macy's! I found an awesome dress for a black tie wedding this summer. I really wanted a new dress, but didn't want to spend more than about $75 (I'm cheap, I know). I tried on a gorgeous one at Nordstrom, but it was $180. Doh! I then found the same dress in a different color at Macy's, on super clearance and after coupon, I got it for $37. I swear, I have no idea how this was possible! They happened to have just one of this dress, in my size (!!!), in an older fabric or color or something so it was on clearance. I am SO happy! I'll have to post of pic of it, it actually makes me look skinny!!

We were the envy of the neighborhood! We have central air. So we had friends over all weekend We hit the farmers market on Saturday and we had a museum pass for the Children's Museum on Sunday. It was practically empty, which we didn't expect, and the kids had a great time. And we saw all the kids at the park since there are sprinklers there. And our 2 closest friends brought their families over to hang out and have dinner each day.
preppy Do you still want to get lunch or something to discuss non-profit stuff? Let me know. I'd love to!
I would love to! I am feeling better about my current job, things are improving, but I still don't think it is a good fit so I want to calculate my next step. Do certain days of the week work best for you? Let me know and we can nail down a date. Thanks!

I'm pretty much open whenever. Send me a message and let me know when works best for you.
I'm glad to hear things are at least a little bit better!
Okay...color me jealous. I had a muscle spasm in my back so I spent the weekend quietly convalescing in the central air. I need to add Clio and Tasty Burger to my to-try list. DH & I adore good onion rings and keep finding bad ones Cold, too much batter or greasy just is not proper onion rings.
This weekend was freaking hot! The baby is a big crank ass in the super heat, so we stayed home a lot doing house projects and relishing in the A/C (poor DH got stuck sanding and staining the deck, though) We also went bicycle shopping (we need a new bike rack and baby seat) and started teaching DS1 to ride without training wheels. He rocked it! Can't steer or slow down without falling, but aim him straight and he is golden.
