Already looking forward to this weekend....
Adam and I have been invited to a fancy-schmansy event at the Constitution Center on Saturday night - its a black-tie, sit-down dinner for 300 people. It is a Dickinson event geared towards the Alumni in the area that have given large donations to the college. In addition to inviting those that have provided finanical support, they also invited those that have donated their time to actively help the college. Me & my co-chair, Deana were invited in recognition of the last 4 years that we have organized Alumni Events in Philadelphia (and kicked butt doing it!).
It may sound silly, but I am thrilled to death that it is black-tie, because Adam will get to break out his tux. This is either the second or third time he has needed it since our wedding, so it's looking to be a great investment. AND, since I have this event and two wedding to go to all in October, I get to go shopping for a new dress! I don't mind wearing the same outfit to two events (especially when there is no guest overlap), but three is a bit much, especially if they are so close together -- I'll look the same in all the photos - how boring!!!
I am also looking forward to vegging out on Saturday catching up on all the shows Tivo has waiting for me, Studio 60, Gilmore Girls, ER, Project Runway, LOST! -- high priority. I'm away on business Wed-Fri, so I'm sure I will be exhausted and will need time to recover. Adam, would argue that the highlight of the weekend is going to be the Eagles vs. Dallas game on Sunday.
The fun continues on Monday, because Adam has off for Columbus day and is going to come to NYC to see where I work (and maybe my new apartment -- cross your fingers!!) and just get a feel for the city. It will be nice for him to see where I disappear to all week - and we haven't really ever gotten to eat lunch together mid-week since he sits on the trading floor and only has a few minutes to grab a bite, so that will be nice as well.
