Best. weekend. ever...

So this past weekend (starting Friday) I was in Long Island for my college roommate's wedding. This is one I've been looking forward to since I heard they got engaged.

It obliterated expectations.

From the rehearsal dinner to the hotel afterparty, you could not imagine a more perfect wedding. What everyone shoots for (or should) is a wedding that pleases both bride and guest(s). Ninety-nine point nine percent of people fail at that. The balance is so hard. This wedding fell into that 0.01 percent. Classiness, elegance and fun shone from every facet of the weekend.

I could make a joke about how Michelle and Chris have now been married longer than most celebrities, but I would rather just end with a heartfelt congratulations to my two favorite newlyweds, wish them all the best and thank them for letting me be a part of such a terrific event and special moment for them.

Mimosas and Michelle...

So this past weekend I got a much-needed break from Boston and hopped in the car with a couple of girlfriends for a road-trip. But this wasn't just any road-trip. We were the Boston Bridesmaids, and we were headed for the wedding shower of one of our very best friends from college. 

I will not go into the details of the drive since this is a good news blog, but I can report that a fantastic time was had by all once we got there (due not entirely to the two-fer drink special at Chili's). 

It was so wonderful to see all of us together in one place again (it's been almost a year), and we were so happy to be there to celebrate Michelle's (and Chris') big day. The food at the shower was excellent, and the company even better. I can't wait for the wedding!

This post is a short one, as I've taken the day off from work (to enjoy the sunshine and not being in a seated position for hours on end!).  I hope you all enjoy your days as much as I am enjoying this one!

Yeah, yeah, I know...

Today's post is really about my good day. Yes, I know it's narcissistic and not really newsworthy, but, well, this is my blog. : ) 

I sold my first baked goods this morning, so I guess I'm officially a small business. Then I actually had work to do, so that was cool. It's a flat-out gorgeous day - sunny and warm and totally un-New England in April. Finally, my friend Joel is in town from far away, and I hadn't seen him since like Thanksgiving. We had lunch with our friend Stef at an old haunt and caught up. It was fabulous. 

My day isn't even over and it's already one of the best I've had in a while, so I really thought I'd just go with that for today. : ) I hope you all have wonderful weekends and blessed Easters/Passovers.
