Weekend Update - 10/31/2011

Boy, what a doozie of a weekend. Friday was a whirlwind going straight from work, to crashing the 'Business of Fashion' conference at Fordham Business School, then to watch the Cardinals win the World Series (yay) followed by a Halloween party at the Hudson Hotel where MC Hammer made a surprise appearance (yup). The snow/sleet/rain/ice Saturday served to pump the brakes and slow down the rest of the weekend. I've never in my life experienced such awful October weather but a 4-hour long birthday brunch at Harry's Cafe helped ease the blow. Sunday, while still chilly, the weather shaped up for a late-afternoon brunch at Back Forty and later napping / pinning (quickly addicted) while the boy watched football. Another big week this week with work trips to Charlotte and Boston, where I'll be seeing two of my favorite people. Happy Halloween!!
