Celebration Weekend is OVER
This weekend was my CELEBRATION weekend :-) We offically finished the Cisco Business Simulation Proof of Concept at 4:30PM on Friday afternoon. I am so relieved. I also think that it is pretty cool :-) I'm excited to be able to show it to Seymen too. My PM is putting it out on an external site so that I can show Seymen (so he can see the finished product. I made him sit and stare at the business sim map, and all the pieces, but he hasn't seen it all cleaned up in the skin all working.)
Anyway, true to his word, Seymen didn't work at all this weekend. He completely dedicated the weekend to spending time with me. Friday night, I had two dinners. One with my sister, step-dad, and Jake, because I forgot that I already had dinner plans with Colin. He called my cell phone as I was driving out to my mom's house. It actually worked out perfectly though, because he pushed dinner out unitl 7:30PM, and Bill made reservations at the Yacht club @ 6, so I ended sitting through mostly all of the first dinner. They were just drinking coffee and eating dessert when I had to leave. We also, had the strangest conversations throughout dinner...but it was nice, although we did miss my mom (who was is Saratoga Springs for a conference) and Seymen (who was still at work).
Afterwards, Seymen and I met up, and then we met with Colin, Katie, Ryan, and Allee. Katie's cousins bought the old Tony Roma's restuaruant and made it into a "Delmonicos". It's a new chain, they have them in Utica, Albany, Syracuse and Buffalo. SO they opened this one last week. Anyway, it was awesome food. They put us in this private room with a long dining room table. It was very homey! We really enjoyed it!
Unfortunately, it was so cold and rainy outside Saturday and Sunday, that we didn't really feel like going out that much. We did end up grocery shopping on Saturday, and once we were out we did get some errands done. But it took us all day, seriously...until 6PM to get out of the apartment. Sunday, we needed to get propane for the grill for dinner so we were forced to go outside :-) And again, we made more stops once we were out...Sunday night we made a nice and healthy salmon, broccoli, and salad dinner.
The good thing about the weekend was the number of really good movies on TV. We watched Erin Brocovich like 5 times, and Pretty Women like 3 times! (They were both on TNT special). I also started and finished a book yesterday. It was really good...but as always, I was sad that I finished it so fast. I need to stock up again. Especially since I have airplane flights coming up not this weekend but next to Austin, where I can read for 5 hours straight...And it's even better because I'll be missing 1 day of work! WAHOOOOOOOO :-) I love vacation days!!! :-) Yeay...I'm so excited for my trip. I booked the rental car today.
