Weekend update

I guess I haven't really updated much lately. I spent New Years Eve with Vanessa and four of her friends. They had a hotel room in Boston for the night (one of them works at the hotel) and we ordered $90 worth of Chinese food. We played board games and it was all pretty laid back. It was nice though. The photo on the right is a big ice sculpture outside the Chinese restaurant.

I forgot to mention that I recently saw the movie "Juno." It was quite charming. (And, by the way, my roommate Vanessa went with me so it was my first movie in Boston with another person, haha.)

This weekend was relaxing and fun. On Friday, I had my 3-month review at Equal Exchange. I received really positive feedback and it made me want to work even harder. It was nice to hear such great things. Then I came home and had dinner with Tiffiney, Vanessa, and two of Vanessa's friends, Emliee and Alana (we hung out with them on New Year's Eve). We made turkey burgers and sweet potato fries and had blueberry pie for dessert. Then we played a board game and drank some wine. It was a fun, low-key girls' night. I spent all day Saturday finishing The Golden Compass (book one of the His Dark Materials series). It was such a good book! I really enjoyed it. Then Tiffiney and I watched the New Hampshire debates, but I won't say anything about that (yet) except that it was frustrating and depressing.

On Sunday, I went downtown with Tiffiney while she did a little shopping. I got The Subtle Knife, book two of the His Dark Materials series. Then I split from Tiffiney and went and saw "The Golden Compass" since it is still in the theater. I found the movie to be visually cool but ultimately I get too invested in books to really enjoy their film adaptations - unless they are almost entirely true to the book (which this was not).

I am very busy at work this week - there is much to do now that the holidays are over and we're getting back into the swing of things.

I feel like I had more I wanted to say but I can't think of anything else right now. Have a good week!

Oh, and my car is still gone.
