Oh, that stinks, Rock. I hope you guys can get a break soon. I don't understand people who just assume the host is going to cover their meals; if anything, they should have been buying your meals for taking them around.
Weekend was good. I had Friday off, so we just hung out. Saturday, I had to get an oil change and find shoes for my brother's wedding, and I was able to get in and out of DSW in under 20 minutes with an inexpensive pair that doesn't seem like it'll kill my feet. Saturday night, we went to Lucky's in Southie for dinner, and then to the Jane's Addiction show. It was awesome. Such a great concert. I did the white-girl-rock-show-dance all night, and I hurt like a mo-effer on Sunday, heh. Yesterday, we laid low - breakfast at the dinner, napping, movies, and grocery shopping.
And now I am super annoyed to be back at work, and counting the minutes until my vacation starts next Wednesday. I actually just checked to see if I had enough time to take Monday and Tuesday off too, but no dice. Womp womp.
Busy weekend. Worked all day Saturday, which was *exhausting* as it involved being on my feet all day and getting home very late. That meant I slept until about noon yesterday. The big accomplishment for Sunday was cleanign the house (long overdue) and cooking dinner. H went grocery shopping too so we have a meal plan for the week (yay, healthy food!). We've been so busy lately we've been living off take out.
The good news: we leave for Curacao SATURDAY!!! Man, I can't wait. We've been so busy, I haven't had time for the trip to sink in that we are actually going on vacation! Now lets just hope no hurricanes for next week...
My weekend was pretty productive. I ended up buying a new tv, some chairs, a desk, a dining room table, cleaning supplies, and for something fun, a new wallet. I also went out to eat a couple of times, saw some friends, etc.
Can't wait for Thursday to go home and for this coming weekend and to see my family!

ooh, have fun in Curacao, noodle! I'm jealous.
Rock, I was out of there in 20 minutes last weekend, too (I needed new sandals before the Chicago trip - ended up buying the first pair I saw, plus a replacement pair of some loafers I have). It never happens, so I am pretty sure I have jinxed my shoe-buying luck for the rest of my life. And no plans for vacation, just hanging out and maybe doing a couple of day trips once we get past all of the super-terrific wedding time.
Have a safe trip home, Rikki, and I hope you got some great deals!
Friday DD and I flew back from CA. Looooooooooooooooong day Saturday DH got home from being away for almost 2 weeks. Sunday we just all tried to get our bearings. I'm back to trying to get my kid to sleep normally again, and just get caught up on stuff. Our mailman brought a BOX of mail yesterday!
