Busy. Busy. Weekend.

So many things happened (pretty much all good) this weekend, I'm not sure where to start. I went to the Emily Giffin book signing in Buckhead Friday night. Even though she was late because she was in a slight car accidne ton the way over (eek), she was fabulous. And her books are fabulous. I cannot recommend her highly enough: start with Something Borrowed and Something Blue if you are new to her writing. I was also reminded of how much I love Jason's Deli and Lauren and I had a late dinner there.

Saturday started off with a trip to the new Nordstrom Rack in Buckhead (love). I got a Trina Turk very cute (and very beachy) dress for $60! I think the retail was $200. Can't wait to debut it this weekend at le beach. I followed that up with a lovely massage and an afternoon hanging out with the bf. We managed to squeeze in dinner at Six Feet Under (one of my faves in Atlanta, also highly recommended if you love seafood and great views and alcoholic blueberry lemonade!), an appearance at Claire's birthday party, and the hilarious Avenue Q broadway show. Very, very fun.

Sunday was more low key because, frankly, it was too hot to enjoy much of anything. I think this summer is going to be a rough one. John was amazing and installed my new ceiling fan for me (YAY), then we drove to Midtown to visit the High Museum--second weekend in a row for me. Its only a short 5 or 6 block walk there from my office, but it seemed like forever in the 90something degree heat! We made a pit stop at Panera and Target, and then lounged around until it was finally time to get ready for the week ahead. Sigh.

At least this week is only 4 (hopefully) short days! And then its time for...the BEACH! I'm obviously thrilled and cannot wait to go! There's lots of packing and organizing and grocery shopping to do between now and then. Can't wait for Friday!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Is anything fun happening this week?

Fabulous rainy day

I woke up this morning to thunderstorms! I love storms and rainy weather in general, and I submit that waking up to a summer thunderstorm on a Friday (when you get to leave work a little early:) is the very best way to wake up. I know, its even better on a Saturday with no where to go and nothing to do...but an early afternoon is the closest I can get today.

I'm very excited about going to the Emily Giffin book signing tonight with my friend Lauren. Ms. Giffin is one of my favorite authors, and she's also a WFU alum! There's going to be a meet and greet for all the Deacs, followed by the signing of her new book in the Buckhead Borders tonight. Any friends in Atlanta, you should stop by!

Otherwise, I think this weekend will be a busy, but good one. John and I are attending my friend Claire's birthday dinner party on Saturday, and then heading to Avenue Q. I'm so excited to see what the funny Tony-winning musical is all about. I think we'll also visit the High this weekend so he can check out the Automobile exhibit that I saw last weekend. I'm almost ashamed to admit that my most favorite part of the weekend will probably be when J installs my new ceiling fan for me! Heaven!

What are y'all up to this weekend? Something fabulous, I hope :)
