Chicago (sort of)

I've been at training for work this week at the lovely Q Center. It's been awhile since I've eaten three meals a day from a buffet, carried my food on trays, and slept in a twin bed. I'm definitely looking forward to returing home to Atlanta tomorrow night (it's still so weird to say that!). Not to mention that while there is snow on the ground here, it's at least 65 degrees in atl.

Overall though, it's not been bad. If you ever get an opportunity to play WhirlyBall, give it a shot That was our social event last night and it's actually kind of fun.

Thank God for the Internet....

So I've been pretty busy at work lately. Unfortunately I'm busy with document review, which can be the most mind-numbingly boring task ever. To the rescue....the miracles of the internet (or internets, if you're GW).


Here's what's keeping me sane today:


* http://alltop.com/ - a fun, quick way to see top stories on pretty much any topic you can imagine.



* This recipe for Nutella ice cream. Seriously dangerous. I'm going to try it the next time I have a free day at home (ha!) or more likely after we buy a house and have storage space for things like ice cream makers.


* The latest undergrad B-school rankings from BusinessWeek. Not only does this make me even more proud to be a Wahoo, it makes my resume look better!


* and of course, my faithful friends at jcrew and bluefly - because there's no work a little online shopping can't help!

Weekend

So this weekend ended up being pretty fun - even if I did spent several hours Saturday and Sunday at work ;(

Friday we had dinner with a couple Cary works with. We went to Noche - a fun tapas restaurant in Virginia-Highlands. After an hour plus wait at the bar, we finally got a table but it was worth the wait. I love tapas- it's so fun and I like being able to taste dishes without having to commit to one. (plus the sangria, although Noche's wasn't the best)

Saturday and Sunday were mostly filled with work (me) and driving range (Cary). I also found this hilarious shirt for Jackson - any dog owners out there, check out the pet section at Target. The one at Atlantic Station had a ton of dog shirts for less than $2!




Spring in on it's way in Atlanta - the weekend was mid-60s and today in the 70s. As anyone who knows me can imagine, I'm very happy ;)


Hope everyone had a great weekend!
