Some discoveries of the past week....
Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka *DANGEROUSLY YUMMY!
Tea Cup and Saucer. I love hot tea with milk and sugar and I always drink it out of a mug but I had purchased a couple tea cups and saucers years ago, they have always sat in the back of the cabinet until this afternoon I wanted a cup of tea and thought, what the hell!...Something about drinking tea from a cup with a saucer, very sophistcated.

Recap of the week...
Monday: david's first day at his new job woo hoo!!! This is a very exciting position with a great company and he is going to kick some bootie. I had an ultrasound today to try to get to the bottom of my abdominal pains but the ultrasound came out fine. Dr.'s exact words were that I have "textbook ovaries"....Went to dinner with david's Mom and Brooke (David's brother's girlfriend) then we went and saw Nights in Rodanthe and I cried liek a baby!
Tuesday: I had Danielle & Carleen over for a dinner and it was soooo great! Carleen made a fresh ceasar salad and Danielle made chocolate,banana,nut bread and fopr the main dish I did farfalle pasta with spicy pink sauce and turkey meatballs...Danielle is engaged! We had a wonderful dinner, drank champagne, laughed and caught up. The 3 of us ended up on the floor doing yoga at the end....Carleen starts her classes in Hillsborough on Tuesday nights and I am going to try my darndest to attend!
Wednesday: Supposed to work at the Mint but was too slow...I finally got to see David and hear about how his job is going, he's working long hours. we enjoyed chinese and hit the hay early.
Thursday: had to work late but got to have dinner with my old boss Evan who was visiting from MD. We went to The Pit for dinner...I had an incredible spinach salad with fried green tomatoes, carrots, red onion, goat cheese & roasted pepper vinaigrette and for my main course seared trout yummoliscious!
Friday: Woke up sooo soooo thirsty but could not drink or eat because i had to go under for my widom teeth removal...I brushed my teeth 15 times just to feel like I drank something! I am so glad my Mom was there to take care of me.
Saturday:Jello, drugs,mashed potatoes
Sunday:Layed in bed all day...I have come to the realization that I LOVE the tubs of already made mashed potatoes (the Simply Potatoes brand is much better than country crock) mixed with stove top, and a dallop of sour cream! It is nice and easy to eat. I feel a little better but my left side is stilla littel numb, I think they might have hit a nerve, let's hope I don't have a lazy mouth once this is all done!

I survived but can barely move!
The weekend went perfect and I could not have done it without David!! Friday I cut fruit and vegetables for what seemed like 10 hours, David skewered and marinated 300 pieces of chicken. Saturday we woke up at 6:00 am, packed the coolers, loaded the car and I was off! Arrived at the wedding location about 8:40 and started setting up tables. The day flew by and with limited ovens I had no space to cook the chicken! David to the rescue....just so happens he had his grill in his truck from tailgating so him and Kevin grilled all 300 pieces of chicken...phew! It was awesome to have such a great team. Kevin and Carleen and their friend Emily were my "staff" and they worked their booties off!
The wedding was beautiful, the weather was perfect and everything went as planned (once the DJ arrived after being lost for 2 hrs). I made enough money to pay for my wisdom teeth as well as a have a good amount of money for San Fran. I was home by 11:00pm.
Sunday we were up at 7:00. I had to ice my knee before the "Walk for Hope". With being on my feet for 13 straight hours on Saturday, I think I twisted my knee at some point (if that is possible). David's parents picked us up at 9:00am and we were off. The day again was beautiful and there were at least 3000 people participating in the walk. Our team raised close to a $1000 for the cause. We walked our 6.2 miles through Olmstead park, it was really nice and it felt great to do something that had so much meaning. Plus I always enjoy spending time with David and his parents, his Mom, Peggy is such a joy to be around and Randy (his Dad) is like an older version of David....We were home by 1:30 and I napped for a little while then cleaned the house from top to bottom. We did our grocery shopping for the week, then before I knew it, I was in bed.
So now it's Monday and I wish I were sitting at my home computer rather than work, but oh well...I am just hoping I won't have to walk much today because every bone and muscle in my body hurts!

Longest Week Ever
So this Saturday is the wedding that I have been helping plan and I truly realize why I got out of the event business....not that it has been bad by any means, but just all the details paired with my day job and my part time job are driving me C-R-A-Z-Y! David and I have also signed up for the 2008 Walk For Hope which is Sunday so after working 12 hours on my feet Saturday I get to wake up and walk 6 miles. I do have to say it is for a great cause and what better way to spend a morning. Our team has already raised over $600!!
Another factor that is making this week inch by is that David has a job interview on Thursday for a company in Cary. I am so anxious and excited for him, I know he will do well and win them over! I am relieved he is interviewing with a compny close by, I was truly wrried we would have to move away...and for once I feel truly settled where I am living, I could stay in Raleigh for a long....long time
The weather is so perfect right now, very cool in the morning, breezy but warm in the afternoon and cool at night. I love the fall in NC.
