VERY busy week!

Well, I haven't posted for over a week, so I figured it was time again. This past week has been SUPER busy - one of those weeks I met myself coming and going!

Started out Monday night with my Palmetto Woman's Club meeting... my friend Deb joined me for that, and it was great to have her come too! On Tuesday evening, I had orientation with the new JWC provisionals - as President, I attended that - and we had a TERRIFIC evening.. a wonderful dinner was served, thanks to Carolyn - and we had a very nice evening getting to know each other.. of course, 9 out of 10 of my provisionals were there so it was great to spend that evening with several friends.

On Wednesday night, Dennis and I headed up to Capital City Club and enjoyed the evening with cocktails and several friends. Our friends Neel and George came and we hung out with them for awhile - so that was a lot of fun! Thursday night we met our friends Andy and Mary Alice for dinner, then headed to the Koger Center to see the ballet Dracula - that's been my favorite ballet since Columbia City Ballet started performing it in the early '90s.

On Friday night, since it was Halloween, we had planned to have a few friends over for cocktails and to just hang out while we handed out candy.. but we ended up canceling the gathering because a couple friends got sick, and since I started feeling a bit under the weather myself, we just decided to postpone our gathering and just hang out ourselves at home and take it easy.. my mom and stepfather joined us, and we made dinner and had a couple drinks and had a good time handing out candy to neighborhood kids!

On Saturday, we loaded up the car and met our friends Christy and Michael for an afternoon of tailgating and an evening of Gamecock football! We had an absolutely awesome time tailgating at Carolina Field House with Christy and Michael and some others who ended up joining us as well, and then the game was AWESOME - an awesome victory! Our friend Michael wasn't too happy, since he's an avid Vols fan - but he was a good sport about it! He and Dennis made a bet on the game - so now, we can look forward to being treated to dinner by Michael at Bonefish Grill - woo hoo!

Today, Sunday, we went to church, then came home and I got caught up on a little work and Dennis cut the grass and worked out in the yard, probably for one of the last times this season, since the grass is starting to go dormant - finally! All in all, a great week - and a fantastic weekend! Not used to the time change yet, but I'll get there!
