It's snowing! And Miss SC goes to Boston.

And since I'm snug indoors it looks so pretty :) First snow of the season. I don't think it's supposed to stick so for now it just looks pretty drifting down.

Our friend SC was here from S.F. to visit last Thursday to Sunday. She had a conference to attend at the new Boston Convention Center but mostly used it as an excuse to come see us (at least that's what we like to think). She was a sport about navigating Boston's spaghetti street system, but thank goodness she got out of here before it started snowing or she really wouldn't come visit us again! We didn't get to do much tourist-wise with her besides taking her to Fanueil Hall and Harvard, but we had fun walking around and got some cool stuff at the FunUsual store.

Thanks for visiting, SC! We hope you, hubby, and Rocky will come visit us again soon!

Done!...

...with weddings for the year. Congrats again to PY and CC; it was fun being involved in your wedding and I'm so glad the two of you had a great time.

Now that the '07 events are over, planning for the '08 ones are already underway. Got home on yet another lovely red eye flight this morning and found in my inbox an e-mail about EC and TC's August '08 wedding which I'm also coordinating. They're getting married at Kohl Mansion, which I've heard lots about but have never actually been to so I'm looking forward to seeing that.

For now though I'm just looking forward to getting some sleep tonight. I knew it was a bad sign when a half dozen people answered the call to pre-board our flight with children. Sure enough, one of the kids was a devil child that had the most ear-piercing screech I have ever heard. Luckily she got her two major screaming fits out of her system relatively early in the flight, but she actaully made our ears hurt.

Going back to Cali one more time

We're off tonight for our last trip to S.F. for the year. It's going to be a quick one too--get in at 11pm PST tonight and crash with EL, PY & CC's wedding all day tomorrow, then we have just Sunday to hang out before leaving on an 11:50pm flight that night--ugh! Why is it that all of the flights we've booked this year have had schedule changes after we buy the tickets? Originally we were supposed to leave OAK around 10:30pm but that got pushed to nearly midnight. Which means we don't get home to BOS until 8:15am on Monday morning and I'll barely have time to shower before needing to run into the office for Monday meetings. Blech.

Oh well, at least we'll get to see everyone again. This wedding has the potential to be the drunkest one we've been to yet, so should be fun ;)

Happy Halloween!

We only got a couple dozen trick-or-treaters this year, which actually isn't too bad considering the kinda busy street (traffic-wise) we live on. I don't like getting the older kids--c'mon, should you really be trick-or-treating when you're over 15?--so we turned the light off a little after 8pm to avoid that. Thank goodness I only bought one medium-sized bag of candy though cuz we still have a bunch left.

Check out the pumpkins we carved last week. So fun :) We didn't really put them out until tonight because my sisters had me so paranoid that someone would come through and smash them if we put them out earlier. Nice thought, huh? Carving was fun, I think we'll have to make a tradition of it.
