Sorry it's been so long.... but D and I have been nuts these past couple weeks. We have yet to have a weekend to ourselves and it's been about 2 months since that happened.
Most recently we were in New York sharing a hotel room with an old childhood buddy of D's.Despite the fact we got little sleep it was pretty fun. We were in NY to attend our friend's wedding (pictures in my flickr tagged pete). Many of my friends are getting married, which is nice, however it is also becoming quite expensive for me. On top of the money for our own wedding here is the tally of what I have spent so far:
-- wedding gift for childhood girlfriend I've known since I was 8 year old $80 bucks (my share of the gift split 3 ways with my other girlfriends)
-- hotel room in Boston for the event $100 (thanks to a family discount)
-- gas money for the drive down $30
-- gas money for the drive back up $30
-- gas money for drive to NY $60
-- gas money for drive back $60
-- hotel room for 3 nights $300
-- wedding gift $125
-- food for the 3 days $50
-- bandaids for the blisters on my feet $2
-- ear plugs 60 cents
-- magazines to occupy the time I wasn't at the wedding or in the pool $5
Although both of these occasions were wonderful to attend and I am very glad we were there.... I hope none of my other friends get married until at least next year. With the stuff we're doing to the house and our own wedding I need at least that amount of time to recover.
