FUN TIMES WITH FRIENDS

So this week's been a bit less hectic... Tuesday night I had an evening at home - we cooked Chinese stir fry with shrimp and chicken - and invited my mom down to join us, since my stepfather had a meeting to attend... after dinner, the three of us sat out on the deck enjoying the nice fall evening with coffee. Very nice, relaxing evening!

Wednesday night was my Girls' Night Out - a group of us went to Mad Platter for Diva for a Cure Night - and painted pottery and drank wine.. we had a blast. I can't wait to see how my pieces turned out. I was pretty ambitious - I painted TWO small, personal-sized chip and dip trays - one for me, one for Dennis.. so now, while watching some football on TV - or a movie - we can have our snacks too! I also painted a set of four coasters... I painted the chip and dip trays in Gamecock colors (of course!) and painted the coasters pink with palm trees on them.. hopefully, everything will turn out nicely!

Tonight, Dennis and I headed out for dinner @ Carrabba's with some new friends of ours, Dave and Deb. We enjoyed a nice dinner, wine and good conversation. Very nice evening, and I hope to do it again soon with them. I needed the break tonight, after being on the computer working on transcripts all day. Fortunately I'm off tomorrow (Friday) - and I can do a little more catching up, before we head out to Town Theater - we are volunteering at Town Theater as house managers/ushers on Friday night - and after we finish our volunteer duties, we get to sit down and watch the play. Looking forward to seeing Westside Story - and we haven't volunteered at the theater for awhile so that should be fun!
