Weekend Festivities

On Friday, I got the unexpected news that I had Saturday off! I was excited because that meant I had a full weekend. Any time I get two consecutive days off I feel the need to do something productive with the time.

What to do, what to do?

I ended up going down to the cities and meeting up with a friend. We spent Saturday at the Mall of America shopping and eating amazing food. Then in the evening we watched a couple of shows where people track ghosts. Now, I will say that I am a HUGE skeptic but still found the shows interesting from a historical perspective.

The next morning we enjoyed a great brunch at a local cafe. This place is really cool because they try to make smart choices for their customers by using local farm eggs, fair trade coffee and giving back to the community. As you can see I am enjoying the coffee from Brazil. (And for those of you wondering, I am back on coffee. I have, however, significantly reduced my intake - its down to 1 or 2 cups a day!)

All in all, a successful Halloween weekend!
