Weekend Wonderland of Wine

So remember how I got a smackdown at work the other day for spending too much time on the internet?  I would just like to take this opportunity to tell you that I started asking for additional work at 12:30pm today and it hasn’t happened yet (current time 3:30).  However, in order to keep my word about not spending all my time on the internet, I’m writing this as a word document and I’ll just copy and paste it later. (ha! Take that!)

Anyway, my weekend was pretty glorious, even if it was not exactly action packed.  My good friend Amy came to visit for the weekend, and Friday we walked around Winthrop, ate lots of munchies, drank a couple bottles of wine, and sat next to the ocean and watched fireworks.  Neither of us really wanted to go into Boston, because we’re not exactly crowd people.  We started walking over to where the Winthrop fireworks were being held but we got distracted partway there because from Winthrop Shore Drive you can see the Nahant fireworks show, some other show on one of the islands around there, and the Winthrop fireworks.  So we sat on the wall along the road and watched all the different fireworks and enjoyed the small crowd of people around us, without being annoyed by huge amounts of crazy people everywhere we turned.  And then there was the soothing sound of the waves right next to us.  I didn’t hate it!

Saturday the weather wasn’t exactly spectacular so we went to Target (yes!  I love Target!) where I bought a dress and a tea kettle (I have decided it’s time to start drinking tea.  We’ll see how it goes), then we went downtown for a couple of hours to have lunch and go shopping, then we rounded out the day with girlie movies, manicures, pedicures, facials, and more wine.

Her flight out was outrageously early yesterday morning, but I took the opportunity given by the fact that I was awake to do all kinds of laundry, clean up my apartment and take a nice, long nap.  Oh, how I love the naps.  I still feel tired today a little bit, but at this point I’m pretty convinced it has something to do with the aforementioned NO WORK IN THE LAST THREE HOURS.  You know, not that I’m bitter.

I also feel that it’s necessary to point out that Amy showed amazing restraint in only mentioning that I should move back to Michigan about seven times in the 42 hours she was visiting.  That’s about seven times less than I expected.

And now my question of the day:  One of my birthday gifts was a gift card to Barnes & Noble.  I will be on a plane this coming weekend and again two weekends later.  Does anyone have any suggestions on good books I should get for my flights?
