Long relaxing weekend

After a long weekend in Colorado doing "wedding research" with my mom, and having my return flight cancelled, followed by a night meeting at work, I was completely exhausted. As a result, Terry and I spent the entire weekend lazing about, sleeping in and eating pizza. It was fantastic. But I don't have any pictures to share.

All that time in the airport and on the plane did give me the opportunity to read a lot though, and I recommend two books: The Myth of You and Me, by Leah Stewart, and Persuasian, by Jane Austen. One modern book and one old one, but both good reads. And The Myth of You and Me takes place partly in Boston, so that's always good!

Halloween & George's wedding



Terry managed to come by tix to the Boston Celtics for Halloween night (thank you, Rich!), so we headed downtown Friday night for some fun holiday basketball. The Celts won, and though that was awesome, what was even more interesting was the "green man" sitting next to Terry. A not-so-svelte but very friendly man had dressed himself in a head-to-toe spandex green bodysuit for Halloween. What was even crazier was that there was another green man at the game as well, causing quite the rivalry between our sections. Fun times. Both seemed to have the goal of getting on the jumbotron, and after much work, both were successful. 

We also headed to Poughkeepsie, NY on Saturday for George and Kelly's wedding. It was a beautiful affair, but of course we left our camera in the hotel room, so no pictures. We had a blast, with lots of wine drinking and dancing, and the scenery was absolutely fantastic. I was happy to meet lots of new people. We wish them all the best!

Seinfeld


I can't believe the weekend is already over, but it's Sunday night and Terry and I are about to sit down to a delicious (and not good for you) meal of home-cooked chicken pot pie and mashed potatoes. We actually started the weekend off with a trip to Providence to see Seinfeld at the Providence Performing Arts Center. That's him on stage in the not-so-clear pic. He was awesome, and highly worth the drive. Also, the Providence theatre is one of those gorgeous gold-gilded ones, so that was a bonus. If you like Seinfeld, I highly recommend seeing him when he comes by on his tour. 

This weekend I also made a trip to a bridal outlet with half off designer wedding dresses, and was highly overwhelmed. The saleswomen were so pushy! Stephanie had my back, and continues to talk sense into me before I put my credit card down. It was my third attempt to find a wedding dress, and I will have to keep looking. If you have any suggestions for places, please send them along!

Finally, this weekend was nice and warm, and will likely be the last nice day of the year. I've been investing in warm (and water resistant) clothes to try to make it through. All of those people who live in warm places (I'm thinking of you, Sara and Robyn), I'm jealous.
