Oscar Weekend
And almost the end of February already again. Time flies. This week was fairly uneventful which was good I guess. I was off on Tuesday, was semi-productive (washed our current bed set and put a different one on) and also finished reading Stephen King's 11-22-63. What a great book. I would recommend that to anyone looking for a good book to read. It's totally different from Stephen King's normal horror books too. Anyway, definitely something I would recommend.
Since I was off on Tuesday I had to work on Saturday. Was a pretty quiet day all in all though. After work we went over to our friend Tim's house to hang out there with a few other friends. Tim made a delicious dinner (bruschetta, steak, pasta & sausage) and we had a good time hanging out eating, drinking and talking.
Today we slept in late, then went grocery shopping and for a late lunch at TKs. In a bit we will catch up on some of our recorded shows and then later we will watch the Oscars of course. Always neat to watch. We bought some cheese and crackers and will enjoy that with some wine.
Next weekend we will be off to Indianapolis. We will leave really early on Saturday as it's a 13 hour drive. We will spend Saturday night, Sunday and Monday in Indianapolis. IN (Monday we have tickets to see The Kooks). Then on Tuesday we will head to Pittsburgh, PA with a stop in Dayton, OH to visit the Airforce Museum. Wednesday it's back home to CT. Should be a fun roadtrip. It's always fun to get away for a few days.
Mail update: A letter went out to Nina/WA. Received letters from/owe replies to: Celia/MA, Lotte/Denmark, Jessica/DE, Emilia/Finland and Tiffany/OK.

David Garrett, Rizzuto's & Super Bowl
Fighting an annoying cold at the moment. Ugh. Have had it since Wednesday so I am hoping that it will go away fairly soon. Luckily it wasn't too bad yet on Wednesday so I was able to enjoy the David Garrett concert and our short overnight stay in Morristown, NJ. The show was absolutely incredible as expected. Our seats were third row center so just perfect. The hotel we stayed at was really nice too (got a great deal on Hotwire so worked out). On our way back from NJ on Thursday we stopped in our Newburgh, NY office for a bit and then went back to work in our Danbury office.
The rest of the week was fairly uneventful. Had to work Saturday but luckily it was a pretty quiet day. Today, Sunday, we went to check out the newest location of Rizzuto's in Stamford, CT. We had a Buy 1 Get 1 Free Entree coupon to use so that worked out nicely. Had yummy pizza (mine was topped with prosciutto and arugala) and nutella cheesecake for dessert. Delcious!!
Now we are back home and watching the Super Bowl. Well Mike is watching the game, I am mostly just watching the commercials and drinking tea. :) But that's ok, the commercials are usually pretty entertaining since all the companies put so much money in their special Super Bowl ads.
Mail update: Letters going out tomorrow to: Celia/MA, Received letters from/owe replies to: Charles/TN, Nina/WA, Emilia/Finland, Nicki/OZ and Tiffany/OK.

Low key weekend
And another week gone by. Can't believe it's March already. I have never been a big fan of March. We had pretty nice weather this weekend. Sunny and around 50F. But it's still chilly to me and everything is so brown and gray, muddy and ugly. I am happier when things start to turn green again, the trees get leaves, flowers start to bloom etc.
The picture on the left shows Mike and me at the zoo in Atlanta last weekend. Definitely a fun weekend. This weekend was pretty low key in comparison. Worked on Saturday and today I have caught up with a few things around the house (dishes, laundry, emails, etc) Still have quite a pile of letters to answer but I will catch up with that eventually I suppose. Will try and get some Rosetta Stone in now. Feels like I haven't practised my Spanish in ages.
Later we are going to have some snacks (cheese+crackers, veggies+dip) and watch the Oscars, maybe have a bottle of wine. Should be fun. I always enjoy watching the Oscars.
Short mail update for today. Letter went out on Tuesday to Celia/MA. Received letters from/still owe replies to: Emilia/Finland, Nina/WA, Kimber/Canada, Jetta/Finland, Lotte/Denmark.Posted by Hanna at 05:36 PM in Random Thoughts, Television | Permalink | Comments (1) | TrackBack
