Double Issues at work leave no time for anything else!
Super Busy week, just wanted a quick catch up from the weekend.
Friday- Came home from work and stopped by Kristen’s for a bit, Eric went out with his friend Jason and I went home early to bed since I was meeting my dad at 9 am the next morning.
Saturday- my dad came in to town to drop off his “winter car” with us. Now don’t you go thinking that we have anything in common with the trumps and I know that it sounds way more fancy then it should- the story is: he had gotten a very good deal on a car from a family friend that is a mechanic in Albany. The only problem was that it is a 2 wheel drive…not great for PA winters so we had been swapping my Ford back and forth so that he could have a car that was good for winter. Well when the Ford bit the dust earlier the summer it left us with quiet the dilemma. So, my dad leased this beauty below with his new company and didn’t need it for a few months since there was no snow. He called us up and asked if we wanted to have a car for a few months becasue he had to work in the city and could arrange it to work out and bring the car down to brooklyn. Phew! All of this wasn't expected at all but it came just in the nick of time since we need something the haul us all the way down south to Hilton Head SC next Wednesday. Perfect timing!
So we headed to Second Street in Park Slope for Brunch with Steve. Dad and Steve went back to Steve’s apt to relax and bit and Eric and I strolled along and checked out some target (well what was left on the shelves from the usual weekend pillage of the Atlantic Center). I also got a new pair of shoes because I have decided that people who have “real jobs” should probably not be wearing flip flops to those “real people jobs” what I am trying to do is actually dress like I have graduated college 3, not like i am still there with a wardrobe that consists of tee shirt, jeans, and flip flops. Very far from even somewhat professional; I give this new found sense of trying to dress better a good week maybe 2 before I regress and go back to the comfy ways.
After Target and DSW (cause I only shop fancy stores) we met up to watch Rugby at an Australian bar on 4th. France beat New Zealand. Even though I am not much of a sport voyeur, I have to admit it was kind of fun to be sitting there and watching the game while each teams supporters would yell during good plays.

We finished the night off with a very nice dinner at Good Fork in Red Hook and the I was in bed at 1030…yes you heard me right 10:30 on a Saturday night.
Sunday- drove my dad to the airport at 8 am! Then hit up the farmers market for some Cinderella pumpkins (one for us and 4 to bring to 2nd street) all to make some very delicious pumpkin soup (ok lets be honest Eric made it and I took a nap on the couch, I meant to help but I just kind of passed out).
After the Farmers market I met up with Cate to venture over to Union Square to do Pilates for Breast Cancer. Shape magazine was holding 5 Pilates classes in the area right in front of Barnes and Noble, basically you signed up for a $25 fee for a class and went with 75 other people in your class and did Pilates for 45 minutes. Other than the tent being a little toasty I had a lot of fun, I also have no idea what I am doing 1/2 the time when I am attempting Pilates and I think that entertained me as well (i.e. laughing at my unbalancable-self). We got to keep the mats from the event as well as a big tote bag, granted it was all pink but I don’t mind it too much! The Sponsors had said that just that day with the classes they had raised $10,000 for breast cancer research. It made me feel good to do something positive. I mean I like learning new things like Pilates, working out is good for me, and it makes me happy to give since I lost my grandmother to breast cancer complications when I was 16.
Sunday night we headed to Cate, Phil, and Kristen’s to have a nice growed up evening of dinner. The menu:
Pumpkin soup
Brussels sprouts (my absolute favorite how Eric makes them)
Gouda Mac and Cheese with Veggies.
Capped off with some Bret Michaels rock of love reunion for dessert!
Tonight I am going to see a preview of Ben Affleck's directorial debut: Gone Baby Gone.
Dorchester, one of the toughest neighborhoods in all of Boston, is no place for the weak or innocent. It’s a territory defined by hard heads and even harder luck, its streets littered with broken families, hearts, and dreams. When one of its own, a 4-year-old girl, goes missing, private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro don't want the case. But after pleas from the child's aunt, they open an investigation that will ultimately risk everything -- their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives -- to find a little girl-lost.
