Another Weekend….

Well I haven’t written anything since last weekend. I get so busy during the week.

This weekend I went to New York on Sunday. I went to Brooklyn for the first time. My brunch club had a brunch at a French restaurant called Cocotte. I thought I left enough time to get there on time but the subways were all rerouted for construction. So, I ended up being a few minutes late. Luckily several others had the same problem. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable day. When I got back to Grand Central Station, they were having a “safe” trick-or-treating event. The little kids in their costumes were so cute.

I’m uploading a foliage picture from last weekend.

Weekend Recap

Saturday I taxied some friends who live in New York City around doing the foliage thing. We went to Lyman Orchards in Middlefield and picked apples and then we did some leaf-peeping. It was pretty relaxing but I didn’t realize that I was tired until I got home and I went to bed at 8:30 p.m.!

Sunday, I came up to my parents’ house and just took it easy. I think we went to the mall. I bought a few things..clothes..socks, etc.

I stayed Sunday night because I had a class on preservation at the Farmington Library on Monday (today). I pretty much knew everything from the class from library school, but I guess it always helps to have a refresher. I did learn a few things. It was a weird setting because there were all these town clerks in the class and they were so not like librarians. They were so loud and kept talking over the instructor. Librarians just don’t do that. They needed the librarian action figure to shhhh them.

I’m taking tomorrow off from work…just because. I started my new job on April 14 and I had to wait six months before I was entitled to take a vacation day. So, tomorrow will be my first vacation day. I’m just going to chill..

I haven’t been reading anything. I read a little bit of the New Yorker this weekend and I played my Nintendo DS and watched my brother’s Pinky and the Brain DVD’s. I can feel my brain turning to mush as I write this.

Everybody’s blogging…. So, I guess I’m jumping on the blog bandwagon. I hardly ever update my personal web site. So, let’s see how this goes. Anyway, I guess I’ll start by introducing myself. My name is Jackie. I’m 37, a librarian, single and I live in Connecticut. I really don’t know what this blog is going to be about, probably just random boring thoughts about my day.

Let’s start with today. I would say the highlight of my day was going to lunch. I went to a pizza place in New Haven called Dayton St. Pizza. It was really good. I went with my colleague and fellow librarian, Nancy. We had a medium pie with onions and mushrooms. It was very tasty and we only left one slice. I have only been working in New Haven since April. So, I am still finding out where the good spots to eat lunch are.

Other than that, I purchased two tickets for my favorite band, The Who, on November 28th in Bridgeport. I am going to go with my Mom again. I went with her in September and saw them at Madison Square Garden.

Zzz..wake up today’s entry is done.
