TGIF, People!

Because this week has been the worst. Anyone have any fun/interesting plans?

H's grandmother has been in the hospital, so we're hoping to visit her tomorrow. Whether she'll be home or still in the hospital, we don't know. Other than that, no real plans. I think we may try for a movie, but we'll see what's going on with her.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Happy Friday everyone!

I'm heading down to Virginia for the weekend for an event with my sorority then coming back on Sunday and flying out on Monday to San Diego for a work conference. So will be lots of traveling.

The tree lighting was fun! My best friend was in town for the night so thought it would be fun to do. We had dinner at Stoddards then walked over at around 7:30 and they lit the tree a little before 8. So we'd had a few cocktails to keep us warm during the 30 minute wait.

It was a bit cheesy, but it was neat to see, they set off little fireworks and stuff when they lit the tree.

Tomorrow we're getting our Christmas tree and then going to the NU vs. UMass hockey game (H and I both went to NU).

My husband went there, too. I have no idea when you guys were there, but he graduated in 2000. That would be hilarious if you somehow knew him, heh.

We are trying to figure out something to do outside the city tomorrow. Has anyone every been to the Newport Mansions? They look pretty decorated for Christmas... I've never been to RI so maybe a daytrip. Otherwise maybe up to Newburyport or Gloucester ... we should start thinking about buying some Christmas gifts, just have no good ideas!

I love Newport! The mansions are really fun and are beautiful during the holidays. I've toured some of them multiple times and it never gets old. I'd recommend the Breakers and Rose Cliff!

Have fun!

Sucky week here too, so I'm looking forward to a weekend with no plans. Jealous of a SD trip--I went to college there. And the Newport mansions-my parents toured them last year

Yes, this has absolutely been the week from hell! I am counting down the hours until the weekend gets here...

We're going to the NorthShore Mall tonight to get a new rug from Pottery Barn. Yay, they finally have it in stock! This will complete our living room transformation.

Going to help our friends put up their Christmas tree Sat, a nice tradition we have. Maybe that will get me in the Christmas mood?

Other than that I will be getting my resume ready and hopefully applying for some jobs this weekend. It has been an awful week at work and I'm hoping I can get out of here soon.

PS. I'm an NU grad too! Class of 2002, COE.

We need pictures!

Haha, yes I need to figure out how to upload my own pics on here! I need to make a photobucket account or something, right? I'm so internet challenged.

Caleb has a birthday party to attend tomorrow, but he might be too sick to go. I think Dave and I would be very relieved to have the entire weekend obligation free.
