In a first attempt to try and see Match Point at the nearby movie house, we got shut out! Okay, we didn\u2019t get there until 5 minutes before the scheduled showing, but we figured since the movie had been out a while, the crowds would have died down. Wrong. It was so packed, that seating was only available in the 1st and 2nd rows. Ugh. So, we opted for a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant a couple doors down. I\u2019m glad that the movie was almost sold out because it gave S & I to catch up on the past week and just talk. It was nice.<\/p>\n
…in other weekend news…our friend JC came by to drop off presents (the best kind of visit!) that he had purchased for us during his big South American tour. S received an authentic peruvian alpaca knit hat and I received a most colorful and beautiful scarf\/shawl from Bolivia (or was it Peru?). His photos and stories were amazing! Anyone up for an Inca Trail hiking<\/a> vacation? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Sunday, Niki and I visited our friend Dani and her 1-month old daughter. She’s so precious. (Dani is the mom of Hershel, who is Lucie’s best-est friend.) We had lunch at a local Italian deli (they make THE BEST sandwiches) and spent the afternoon catching up.<\/p>\n And now, here we are at Monday. The 3-day weekend can’t come soon enough. To make things a bit better, a co-worker of mine was taking last-minute orders for Girl Scout cookies! Yummy Samoas (or Caramel DeLites, is what they’re calling them now), Peanut Butter patties (fka Tagalongs) and Thanks-a-Lots (a new shortbread cookie that’s dipped in chocolate and that says thank you in 5 different languages: English, Chinese, French, Spanish and Swahili – okay, the Swahili is bit random) are coming my way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a first attempt to try and see Match Point at the nearby movie house, we got shut out!
