the right stuff

since i had this past weekend to myself, i planned a little lunch with a good friend at the nordstrom's bistro...and who did we end up sitting next to?

NKOTB jordan knight

looking better than ever

but i have been a fan since the beginning when he looked like this

she had to hold me back from taking a picture or asking for an autograph

(she had already seen me turn into a squealing teen at the george michael concert a few years back!)

then it was off to shop

i found this darling jacket

(this is not me)

at

wow!

then it was time to work...

i worked for hours cleaning and organizing my basement

i think what took so long was reminiscing over every box i found

from college pictures

(more on college days later)

to baby muffy things

it's a good thing i had the weekend to myself!

(i could use more like it!)

free weekend

i've always loved filling the social calendar, 

but lately it's had lots of muffy's dates on it....

gymnastics, birthday parties, library, etc....

so, mr prep is planning a daddy-daughter weekend 

away at his parents' home in vermont 

to give me a little free time

(plus, i promised him that i would attempt to clear 

our basement of all my old college stuff!)

and i plan to fill every minute!

first, an evening with a friend at kate spade

tomorrow, a lunch date with another friend at 

nordstroms

and lunch at the bistro

and drinks

and then, if i have time, i'll attack the basement!

what do you do when the husband and kids are away?
