Well, I tried to go into someone's house yesterday to claim it as my own, but everyone has ADT signs outside. I didn't feel like getting the police involved in my attempted imperialism. Also, it rained all day and I didn't want to tromp mud into someone's house.
Anyway, this wasn't the worst weekend ever, but I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty pathetic. Colby has been working his butt off to finish his Masters program, and this semester he's taking two pretty intense classes. So, his weekend was spent with his nose in a book trying to work out complicated accounting problems in preparation for his midterm tomorrow. I'd hoped we'd be able to have a little bit of fun around the city since this is our last weekend in Charleston before his deployment, but alas, studies come first.
I did manage to shoehorn a little bit of fun into my weekend spent mainly either in front of the tv or behind a book. Friday night, I spent my evening surrounded by jewels at a Lia Sophia party. I went in promising myself I wouldn't spend much, and ended up with a sparkly necklace and two pairs of earrings. But really, I SAVED so much money!
Saturday, I went for an absolutely glorious four mile run in the neighborhood. Charleston is currently in the midst of one of the two or three months out of the year where it is quite enjoyable to run outside, and I've been taking full advantage. It was my first time back up to the four mile mark since we got back from our vacation, and I saw a definite improvement in my pace from the last time I ran it. I'm still slow as molasses, but more like warm molasses as opposed to cold.
Sunday, I dragged Colby out for a date night at a new (to us) pizza place before he buried himself back in schoolwork. Then Monday rolled around, rainy, grey and uneventful. The lazy weekend caught up with me last night, and I was wide awake until about 3:30 in the morning. Of course, I did nothing to stop the vicious cycle by staying in bed until (cough, mumble, cough) 11 o'clock (cough) this morning. But tonight, I'm hitting up the melatonin early. I may not be able to conquer entire inhabited continents through the use of flags and deadly disease, but sleep? Sleep I WILL conquer!
I hope you guys get to spend some time together this week before Colby leaves! Also - I am SO jealous you got to sleep in until 11!!

I've never been to a Lia Sophia party, what did you end up getting?

Yes, it was very decadent :)

It was nice stuff! Kind of like Premier or Silpada if you've been to one of those. I got some pretty studs, silver and hematite hoops, and a long silver sparkly strand. Can't wait to get them in!

Uggh - it was kinda gross this weekend. I had to work Sat & Sun night at 5 both nights and I felt like I wasted the day. I hate working evenings when i have nothing in the day. Where did you go for pizza?
