in syracuse...

ok, so here i am out of town for the night and im actually finding time to blog!! amazing the things you can do without kids around. so here's whats been accomplished today...
i left the house at 820am...stoppped at starbucks and got my grande soy no whip 3 pump white mocha with caramel drizzle on top. got on the thruway by 845...
stopped at the outlet mall in waterloo to get some winter jammies for the babies - i had a 25% off coupon for carters...and yes i did stop in the children's place, was tempted..but resisted! and by 1055am i was headed for the northern lights plaza where i was meeting kelly at the christmas tree shops ( www.christmastreeshops.com ) awesome store, i love it!! got all the paperware for the twins bday party out of the way...then we grabbed some lunch and got really great pedicures...and they were only $25!! the best part was that while your nails are drying, they come over with a hot towel and massage your shoulders! it was awesome...something i havent done since last summer when my parents got married! i was over due!
then we stopped at starbucks, for my round 2...i had to use my treat receipt!! im never out of the house after 2, so i have never had a chance to use one before...stopped at wegmans for shower last minutes (lunch meat and cheese) and came home to finish preparing.
since arriving home we have rolled 25 ham and cheese roll-ups and 25 beef and cheese roll-ups, finished the shower favors, i painted wooden signs for the baby's nursery, we re-arranged furniture for tomorrow...its been a pretty busy day!! but awesome, lots of chatting, reminiscing...just really great girl time for both of us.
and i have heard that my parents had a great day with the kids. beth said they are like clock work and everything happened exactly when i told her it would!! good news...maybe it means they would be willing to do it again (like on oct 25th when mandy is in town??) anyhow...tomorrow will be fun, the whole weekend will go by way to fast, but its nice to know that i will see kelly again on oct 26th for my lia sophia party (her aunt is the consultant) and again the week that kellie is in town, we are already planning a day up here whether the baby is born yet or not..(keeping our fingers crossed that "he" is...)
pics to follow of pedicures and other shower weekend festivities!

well firstly, you *actually* drank a grande, 3 pump, soy, no whip, caramel drizzle white mocha...but who's counting ;) you know I just couldn't resist the chance to *over exaggerate* your less than technically perfect starbucks ordering..I mean, I only had 5 hours to harass you out of the *whole entire* day.
secondly, for some reason my eyes took "stopped at wegmans for shower last minutes" and made it into some kind of taking a shower at wegmans. I'm like..I know they have nice bathrooms but dannng! haha. miss you already. hope they tracked down the murderer with the shopping cart by now. *mwah*
