R and R ...and R

My vacation is nearly over. It will be time to return to work on Monday. *sigh*

So this is what's been going on:

My college roomie/soul-mate-type best friend Raina came to visit for the week. It had been 2 years or so since we've even seen each other!

So we did a lot of laughing...





Particularly when we watched hours of our old home-movies from college. How embarrassing!

We played with my beagles, one of which sits very nicely for the camera.


We shopped. A LOT.

We froze in Philly trying to locate a small block of cool stores to yet again, shop in. We also went to this super chill Tapas Restaurant/Bar called Amada. I think we ate a little of almost everything on the menu. The weirdest part was when they brought out our shrimp with their big fat heads still attached. I wasn't afraid though. I've yanked out human brains before, so we were okay.

The best part was the dessert (of course). One was chocolate croquettes sitting in coconut cream with a raspberry BEER FOAM dip. It was divine.

I tried to adjust to my new haircut which my hairdresser called a "faux-hawk." I think it's a little punk rock. I just hope I dont scare the babies when I go back to work on Monday.




We also played a lot of games. I discovered that Rai is my match at Boggle, dangit.

Last night a bunch of my churchy friends came over for some hysterical game playing. Our favorite was "Things in a Box." I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I just don't know WHAT happened, but the whole thing turned very dirty. I guess we're all just "frustrated." *sigh x 2*

Overall it was the perfect week. I laughed, played, shopped, ate and caught up on 6 months of sleep. What more could I ask for?
