Pre-Birthday Feast

And the birthday bash weekend has begun. :) My birthday (I'll be turning 26 ... god I am getting old) is on Monday so we decided to make the previous weekend special.

I am actually at work right now, just for a few hours, but once I get out we will head to Shaw's. It's a big grocery store in New Fairfield that I have been wanting to go to forever. They apparently have a huge aisle full of cool tea and a big organic section. I don't know if it's sad to be excited about a grocery store visit but hey, whatever makes me happy right ? :)

For dinner we are going to the Hopkins Inn in New Preston. The inn is owned by an Austrian couple and they serve some super yummy Austrian dishes. So I am very much looking forward to a special birthday dinner.

Tomorrow we are off to a visit at the Yankee Candle Flagshipstore in South Deerfield, Massachusetts. I love scented candles and Yankee Candle is just the best. Their flagship store is HUGE and they have a ton of other things besides candles as well.

And Monday, on my actual birthday, I will work 1/2 a day and treat myself to a shopping afternoon at the mall with the money my parents and my aunt sent. Isn't life great ? :)
