*sigh* Back at work after a three-day weekend. Well, if you consider sitting on my couch eating oatmeal and watching Masterchef on BBCAmerica while reading email and setting up my week's conference calls work. :)
Anyway, I had a great weekend! My two oldest friends came into town for a girls weekend. Tamii and I have been best friends since first grade, and Debbie moved to our school in the eighth grade. They came down on Thursday night, and we spent the next three days visiting every shopping venue in Atlanta. I managed to withstand the shopping frenzy without spending too much - I got a humidifier, a pair of sunglasses, an eyeliner, a lipstick and a bottle of perfume. I'm really excited about the perfume - I haven't bought any in about 5 years. Fingers crossed that bees won't chase me.
Unfortunately, I seem to have had the anti-Midas touch as well... Saturday night, I went to put the humidifier together, only to discover that the entire base was cracked. Then yesterday, as we were walking out the door to go to brunch, I dropped my new sunglasses in the hallway, and they snapped in two. *headdesk* So we went to Target to exchange the humidifier and I had them open the box on the new one before I left and it was cracked as well. Both the boxes looked a little rough, I'm guessing they came in on the same shipment. After I dropped the girls off at the airport, I went to a different Target and got another one. I haven't opened this one up yet, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
The weekend ended on a good note, though... David came over last night, and we had dinner and watched the Simpsons Halloween special and a movie and just generally had a lovely time.
