Weekend Recap

Originally Matt and I were gonna make an attempt at the Prince William County Fair on Friday, but it was soooooooooo hot and we were both cranky from a looooooong week. Also did I mention I got to go for my yearly girlie doctor check up and we all know getting a pap is not about to improve my mood. So needless to say I didn't want to be mauled and Matt didn't want to have a little brat on his hands so we opted to stay in. We watched several old movies that we'd recorded of TCM...I must say if you have not seen the Odd Couple you must! :)
Saturday we got up fairly early, not our normal sleep until at least 10 kinda day. Matt went and got Manhattan for breakfast....yummmy! :) I love their cream cheeses!! :) Sister came and we traded clothes again, since I'm not working in the office I don't need as many dress clothes so I can loan out more clothes to her to use. We had a fabulous lunch at Olive Garden followed up with slices of the Red Velvet Cake at home! :)
We had a major build to our production environment on Saturday which meant Matt and I both had to complete post builds for our agencies when we got the go ahead...the crappy thing about this situation is you never know when you'll be free to test. They ended up not getting everything done until MUCH MUCH later than expected so thankfully we had until Sunday to turn in all our stuff...which is a VERY good thing because we had tickets to see MGMT at Merriweather on Saturday night.
The band that opened for MGMT sounded like a modern day version of the Talking Heads, they were pretty neat. MGMT was awesome. For those of you that don't know them...check them out it's well worth it. They are actually these two dudes, two weird but wickedly talented dudes.

They actually had other folks with them for the concert but it was pretty amazing. Two of my favs are Electric Feel and Time to Pretend, both off their first album but their second album has some pretty neat stuff on it too.
I read in EW recently that Vampire Weekend (LOVE THEM and seen them twice woot!)is in some kind of legal trouble over the picture of the lady on their Contra album cover. Apparently the dude that took this picture really didn't have the lady's permission to distribute it or whatever and now the band is getting sued for using it...OUCH!

We have two tickets to their show at Merriweather on Saturday, September 11th if anyone is interested! :)
I am now the proud owner of several sharpie pens, yes the ones being advertised on TV! I am a sucker for office supplies! SUCKER!! Super office supply NERD! They are amazing! The only let down is they don't smell like regular sharpies but they also do not bleed through regular notebook paper so I will take it :)
In other news I have a new obsession...Dulce de Leche icecream from Baskin Robbins aka TCBY. I had some Sunday, Monday and now tonight. I went big tonight and got the triple scoops however I could not finish and its in the freezer but I will be having it for snack tomorrow.
In other news we were paid a little visit tonight...as we were leaving for BR on our icecream run something scrambled in the door as we are leaving. I about have a heartattack because it looked like a mouse scurried in. (I'm from the country and this is not an unusual occurance.) It was dark because we had all the lights off and we just assumed it must have been a leaf that blew in when the door opened...WRONG. It was a good hour or more later I realize that we are being visited by a little frog!

Matt took time out of his busy draft schedule to rescue the little guy and deposit him back outside. Yay Matt! :)
Yes his draft schedule, tonight is our draft party for his fantasy football team! And what does one do at a draft party...well you wear no pants and eat icecream. I talk trash to the other guys via Matt and cheer when Matt makes a pick. It's a fun party. Matt also just drafted Eddie Royal so there was a big celebration by this Hokie here! :)
I have ventured into Dum Dum city twice this week :( When I left the office Diana gave me a GIANT bag of dum dums. Megan and I call it dum dum city when I eat more than two dum dums in a sitting...normally in the count of 5-10 :( This is what happens when I have a stressful week in the office.
On a happy note I had lunch with Megs and A today and I will be having supper with all the girls on Friday (YAY Brina is back from vacay!). I also have H's package all ready to send now so I can FINALLY drop it off in the mail tomorrow! NOLA will probably be happening in another week which means we'll be there Labor Day weekend! :) Fun stuff! I love fun mini-vacays! :)
