At work the student employees were told no more internet at all except for lunch. Including AIM. So that sucked.
Friday was a fun day! I had to go into work for a few hours and it was our company picnic. Like a picnic for anyone who has ever been affiliated with John's Hopkins! It was massive! D worked from home like usual until noon and then we headed into my office. We got there and D went to the bank to cash my check and run some errands. He came back around 330ish and hung out at my desk doing Soduku while I worked. This was nice to have his company :)
At 5pm the picnic started and by the time we walked back there, there were hundreds of people already. We both pigged out on burgers and brownies and D drank lots of free beer and then we left. We had to stop out at this Target a bit out of the way because I picked up a prescription there last week and forgot to give them the coupon for my free $10 gift card. So they told me to come back before this weekend. While we were there I got some very cute shoes for over 60% off! Here's a pic of them :) I have become obsessed with heels lately. I *love* wearing them to work and such now :)
After we left Target, we headed over to Best Buy b/c D and I are OBSESSED with Guitar Hero for the PS2. I mean, D *rarely* asks for anything and he is dying to get this :) They have it set up there, so we sat there and played for about an hour and then headed home. We might end up getting it next weekend b/c Best Buy sent us a coupon :)
Saturday we got up early to see one of my good friends, Loretta, get married. It was a beautiful wedding in this small homey feeling church near Annapolis, MD. And then the reception was on this very neat restaurant on the water that was so nice! She only had about 50-75 people there and it was so weird since I haven't been to too many smallish weddings. It was so intimate and beautiful. (Except, all me to rant for a moment...There was this toddler in the back of this church, that was maybe 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, talking THE WHOLE TIME! I was *horrified* that her mother let her continue that way and didn't either shush her or take her outside. I understand it's hard to keep a toddle quiet, but this mother made NO effort. And I'm not just talking about little noises, but I couldn't hear any of the vows over her! Seriously tho, this was a very intimate wedding in a very intimate space and you just don't let that happen.)
Her and I have been friends since my first semester at Towson over 2 years ago and she and her then boyfriend/now husband were at our wedding. I really value her friendship, but we haven't been able to keep in touch much since our wedding. Soon after we got married, she started her student teaching and was busy all the time, then she got engaged and here we are now :) But we all agreed to get together soon after they get back from their honeymoon at Beaches in the Turks & Caicos. She even suggested dinners alternating at each others houses! How exciting!
But one of the biggest hurdles to going to their house is The Bridge™. I have a huge fear of bridges and the fact that they offer an *ESCORT* across the bridge does not make me feel comfortable. I still don't know how it compares to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge which scared the shit out of me on our honeymoon. I seriously had a major panic attack and thought we were going to die.
Here's a picture of them being silly at our wedding almost 2 years ago.
After the wedding, we went to the Annapolis Mall and walked around for a bit. Didn't buy anything except two magazines. But we had Panda Express, which is truly LOVE. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, I have this huge weakness for dreamsicle flavors. So last week we went out to dinner and went by Cheeburger, Cheeburger to get another Dreamsicle shake and they had already closed! So today we were at the food court and they had an Arby's! (we don't have many around here) And Arby's has a new dreamsicle shake. So I was so excited, I went up to the counter and their SHAKE MACHINE WAS BROKEN! No one wants me to have a dreamsicle shake :(
Oh, the one thing we did get at the mall was Comcast's VoIP (Voice over IP). This will combine all of our cable/internet/phone into one bill *and* b/c we have all three, the bills will be lower! Yay us! Our phone number will stay the same tho.
Sunday night we watched Sahara and it's okay. But we drank coffee and were silly together :)
Sunday we went going grocery shopping, produce marketing and then went to see Superman, which was tons of fun!
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
