Long Island...yum.

Today was a bit of a gloomy day, weather-wise. I am supposed to be cleaning in preparation for the MIL visit this weekend. But I just do not feel like it. I managed to unpack my suitcase and do all of the laundry from this weekend. But beyond that? Not too much. I managed to catch up on the latest Hills episodes. Aaaaand that's about it.

I also managed to bribe Nick to come home early from work. We ended up going to Houlihan's for dinner, and discovered their $3.50 personal pitchers of Long Islands. And we each finished an entire pitcher. And yes, I could still walk out of the building by myself.

We've also been talking about getting an iPad since Ben has one and absolutely loves it. It seems like it would be great to play games on and watch movies/TV shows on, especially when going on long trips. Car trips, airports, on the plane...I wanted me an iPad. Which is ridiculous, because I've been making fun of them ever since they came out. I don't know what got into me...maybe it was all that Long Island...but we decided to go over to the mall and see about buying one.


Well...they didn't have one available in store. At this point, you still have to reserve them, and then pick them up within 24 hours. I was really hoping that we could get one before our trip next weekend, but I don't want to reserve one and then not be able to pick it up. So for now, we are waiting. And making this decision when not under the influence of Long Islands.

Restful Day

After such a busy weekend and such a long trip, I spent most of the day relaxing. I had plans to clean the house and get ready for Nick's mom to visit this weekend, but just couldn't get motivated. While I was procrastinating, I happened to find out about a sinkhole in Guatemala. Supposedly, it was caused by the heavy rains from Tropical Storm Agatha. But I have never seen anything like it. It doesn't look real. Much more like something out of a science fiction movie. Very creepy.


On a lighter note, I started to get a bit stir crazy and asked Nick if he wanted to go to dinner tonight. We decided to invite Ben and Noelle to go to Entourage with us. We both ordered the filet and crab cake medallions. A-mazing. Love it.
