A Weekend Full of Distraction

Roy getting into the Halloween spirit

First of all, don't forget to enter my giveway. Only two days left, and I know there are more than 7 followers out there!

It is much easier to stay distracted when one actually has something to do! This was a very full and fun weekend.

Hubby and I started by heading into Boston for dinner. We went to a new place called Max Brenner. He is a chocolatier who has branched off into the restaurant world. It was a fun place. It smelled heavenly, of rich chocolate. That was probably my favorite part. The food was fine. They give you the dessert menu first so you know not to eat too much for dinner. My dessert was ok...a chocolate chocolate chip cookie with chocolate sauce, berries, and whipped cream. It would have been better if the cookie was just a little chewier. And I was little disappointed that the actual meals didn't feature more chocolate. I mean come on, mole sauce...perfect opportunity! All in all though, it was a fun night out with Hubby. The restaurant is on the 700 block of Boylston St, where I used to work many moons ago. It was fun to walk around and see how much the area had grown since I worked down there every day. We browsed around Crat.e & Barrel, and strolled down Newbury Street as well. 

Saturday, Hubby had to go to work for a bit, so I went out to get some bulbs and mums and did some gardening. It's my first attempt at bulbs, so we'll see how things turn out next spring!

Saturday night, we went to dinner and a movie with a friend. We saw Driver. Good movie, but extremely, graphically violent. I had to close my eyes often. The good news is, that I could always tell in advance when I needed to. 

This morning, I had one last acupuncture appointment, at 8dpo and 5dp3dt, hopefully perfectly timed to help out with implantation. 

This afternoon, Hubby and I headed back into Boston to check out the SoWa Open Market and Vintage Market. we found a great 12x12 piece of art with green stripes to hang in our dining room, for only $25. And Hubby found a gorgeous vintage cocktail ring, sterling silver with amethysts and something amber colored that he bought for me. 

Tonight, we had a friend over for the Patriots (timed delayed thanks to Tivo) and had our first fire in our fireplace. We couldn't use it all last year because of a chimney issue that has since been resolved. I also broke out the Halloween decorations, since it is October now!

So, needless to say, my own time is not the issue, it's being stuck at work without a deadline to inspired me to get shit done that is the problem! We'll see what tomorrow brings. 

Lastly, I feel the need for my own sake to document a few symptoms. Friday night, I woke up because of a really acute sustained cramp and back ache. It was definitely crampy feeling I am not familiar with. It had me awake for about a hour. Not fun. But the timing could be good for implantation...maybe? Other than that, not too much cramping. A little bit here and there, more so in the evening the last two days. Definitely a slight feeling of heaviness. And bloated especially after meals. My boobs are just slightly sore. I'm feeling very mildly nasueas at times, especially when I haven't eaten in awhile. 

OK, I just remembered that I didn't even tell you about my crazed hormonal run-in with our smoke detector. Maybe I'll write about that tomorrow from work when I get bored! In any case, definitely feeling increasingly irritable!
