This weekend was pretty good, I spent some good time with good people. On Friday I met my bff at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, Peking Gourmet. After dinner I headed over to Carpool to see my friend’s little sister’s band play. They are pretty good, I’ve seen them before - they have a fun setlist and great energy. I ended the night with a little unexpected smoke and SHUB action. All in all, a pretty damn good Friday night!

Saturday I went to see The Departed with my friend N, which was always a good time. The movie made me want to hit up Boston for some hot Irish cops, corrupted or not! N, you were looking fabulous too my friend! Especially in your I Love Black People shirt hahaha. I then headed to Tysons to meet some friends for dinner at CPK and pick up a few things, including a VERY espensive perfume (um yeah, I won’t be eating until next week as I can now not afford food) and exchanging/buying a couple shirts at Nordstrom and Express (got some cute and cheap stuff there!). I kind of feel bad stealing someone else’s signature scent (I got the name from a friend’s girlfriend)…but it smells amazing - and it’s not like I see her/them very often. If you want to know what it is ask, but I don’t want to share lest others know the secret to my sexy new scent. It’s also great because the fragrance lingers forever and it smells as expensive and luxurious as it is. Clearly I’m obsessed with it.

Sunday I met the Ad-Man for coffee (or in my case, a tasty chai latte) in Arlington. He’s helping me out with some career advice and networking, and it was definitely good to meet him. Thanks for the ego and confidence booster Geoff! The rest of the day was spent cleaning up and laying around the house. My roomie made us a yummy dinner and we got pumpkins to carve this week!

I can’t believe it’s almost November. And I also have NO money for Christmas presents. I guess that is time that I can be happy my family is so small. I really only have to get gifts for my parents and a few friends. But, I’m an overly giving person, and I always end up spending way too much on entirely too many people. I can’t help it…I’m the ultimate consumer and I LOVE buying presents!

Anyway, fun times, good people, and now…back to work. Sigh.
