I am down here for the weekend so as to attend Susan's baby shower, which was scheduled for 1pm this afternoon. It was very nice! :) There were tasty refreshments, some fun and low-key games (a word search, some mix-and-match, etc. -- played at one's own pace with no element of competition), and, of course, the gift-opening portion of the event. We also had the chance decorate onesies and bibs with fabric paint, fabric markers, and stencils -- I made a onesie and two bibs (one stenciled, one freehand, and one stencil-with-freehand-details), and while my creations were not remotely the most artistic, I flatter myself that they were not the least artistic either. :D

I drove down Friday evening after work, which was kind of annoying because work ran long. Mr. Geniality and I attended Destination Johnson, the Cornell business school's welcome weekend event for incoming MBA students, and I think we may get some applications out of it. But that was rather disruptive to our normal work pattern, plus I was trying to finish off some things since being in NJ is, for obvious reasons, not compatible with being in the office on Saturday. *wry* Anyway, I did get the most important things wrapped up, and the drive itself went very smoothly, so that's all right.

Mom and I went out for dinner tonight, at Il Goccino, an Italian restaurant downtown. Mom had the pollo Milanese, and I had the chicken rollatini special. The meal was delicious, as always. :)

And now I think I will go fold my newly washed linens (this is my laundry weekend, so I decided to take advantage of my parents' washer and dryer) and go to bed, because I was up too late last night and would like to take advantage of some daylight tomorrow before hitting the road. I am pondering a trip to the Chatham Bookseller, the local used book store, where I spent some very pleasant hours and made some much-treasured (as well as some much-mocked -- I read some awful nonsense back in high school) purchases in years gone by.
