Labor Day Weekend
What is it about September and Labor Day Weekend that still give me that icky back to school feeling even at 27? It makes me feel panicky like I need to run out and get black and white marble notebooks, pens, bookcovers and clear contact paper. Crazy...
Anyway, weekend was lovely. Cristina came out Friday night from LI and we just kind of hung out and watched some old episodes of Six Feet Under. At around 11pm my cousin Amy and her boyfriend Bo came over, followed by my Aunt Judi and Uncle Ray. It turned out to be a really fun night! The weather was gorgeous and we sat out on the front porch and had a few beers. How is it that the nights you have no particular plans always turn out to be the best?
Saturday was up to the Poconos for my nieces Kayla and Mya's birthdays. To be honest, I usually dread these parties since it's a mix of 2 totally different families who just don't seem to click, but all in all it turned out to be a great day. No traffic, the weather was great and I got to hang out with Frankie's cousin Marietta all day, who I absolutely adore! And I got to see my 2 beautiful nieces who I never get to see since they live so far away.
Sunday was pretty good too. Took a walk down by the beach with Frankie then came home and watched some TV. At about 8:30 we decided to go to the movies to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I put off seeing this movie for a while. I didn't know what to expect since the original is one of my all time faves. But I have to give it 2 thumbs up! Definitely weird, but so cool. I was a little disappointed that the songs were different (who doesn't love to sing along with Veruka to I Want it Now?) but all in all, I highly recommend seeing it. And the best part of the movie? Frankie and I were the only ones in the theater! I've never had that happen so it was pretty cool. A little scary since we just watched The Grudge earlier that day and felt like we kept hearing noises, but it was kind of fun.
Now off to my brother's for a little family BBQ.
