Yaaaaaawwwwwnnnn...what a great weekend!

Friday the 13th was atypical in that nothing spooky happened; in fact, it was quite the normal day (knock on wood). I relaxed and watched some Tivo'd stuff and that was about it.

Saturday, I ran errands and then drove to Portsmouth, RI with Megan to check out the corn maze at Escobar's Farm. Additionally, it was Harry Potter Day there, so there were lots of kids dressed in robes, running around with wands and casting spells (not really) (well...maybe). Megan and I stood in line (it was CROWDED) to purchase tickets for the maze and headed in. Those of you that know my directional abilities know that we were lost within two seconds. Megan took over navigational duties and had us hitting each numbered point, look outs, Snape's potions dungeon AND out in record time! Well done!

That evening I headed to Diane's, unfortunately 2 hours late, which meant I missed her husband's surprise party. But I did get to see Diane, her two adorable girls and Bailey, their cutie dog (and her husband, who made me a yummy dirty martini) as well as Maureen. We caught up a bit, and I finally gave Diane the pictures of her daughters I'd taken a couple months ago.

Sunday, I met up with Maureen at Blue Heron Tattoo in Derry, NH; Monique met us there (with Freya!). Maureen decided on a HUGE tattoo in the shape of a belt in celtic style...um...OUCH! She set up her appointment for 11/11; my appointment follows hers, and Monique's follows mine...girls day out at the tattoo parlour! Anyone else want to come get tattoos with us?

Maureen & Freya

I came home, picked up the dogs and went to Salisbury for a run on the beach. The sky was absolutely gorgeous today!

And finally, I closed my Pampered Chef catalogue party tonight. I want to thank Megan, DebR, Krista, Monique, Lauren & Heather for purchasing things which enabled me to hit my goal of getting the knife I wanted for 60% off. Thank you for not being offended by my emailing you with my Pampered Chef request, and thank you for responding. Woohoo!

See the knife? Isn't it purty? Just in time for Halloween, muhahahahah!!!

How was your weekend?

I see that Rachel Ray is now selling her stuff at Kohls and the wonderful knife she's always using on TV is $100!!!! For a knife...as cool as it is, I can do a lot with $100!

It was too short! I have tons of photos to upload from the Ren Faire and a bunch from our party today. :) I had a *good* weekend. Mmm. Oh, um, sorry.

Congrats on the knife!

DAMN! I want another tattoo in the WORST way.......

I'm so happy you were able to get your knife :) and i"m sure many more things too.

Glad you had a great weekend. Oooh another tattoo, can't wait to see your next creation.

I agree the weekend was way too short. Went to Maine the entire weekend and exhausted and now back to hell ;)

With that knife, remind me not to piss you off. ;)
