Freddy's Two Week Round-Up

These past two weeks have been filled with many adventures in my house (or should I say my teeny tiny little love cottage)! Last weekend the hubs and I made our way to Baltimore via the Amtrak from NYC. This was my first Amtrak experience and (eventhough it's a little pricey) it was so worth it! I looked for a car that wasn't too crowded and we ended up in the "Quiet Car." They have this sign that says "No cell phones and no loud conversations" which scares the normal American away from the quiet car. I found this sign to be a nice little invitation to 3 straight hours of relaxation. It was fun! The hubs and I whispered and giggled and then he napped. It was such a great way to travel- highly recommended!!! I wish Amtrak would endorse me for writing this so I could travel in that amazing quiet car more often without the heavy price tag!

Once in Baltimore we saw my in-laws and the whole family including my adorable nephew who is starting to speak and says Belbow instead of elbow and it just makes your heart MELT!!!! We also went to a wedding of some good friends who tied the knot! They had an Indian-American wedding to mesh their two cultures together and it was AWESOME!!! The ceremony was nice and everyone dressed in fancy Indian clothing and then they changed into their party clothes for the reception where the food, dancing, and good company was had by all until the wee hours of the morning (or 11pm which to me is very late now)!!!!

Also last week I got a new job offer on the table. Still mulling it over but it looks very enticing and it might just be the right thing for me.... I will follow you up with more info on this soon!

Can we also talk about Target mayhem this week with the opening of Missoni. I didn't get involved in the madness but heard it was like Black Friday in stores and obvi the website crashed. Target will get more shipments in as the days go by and I might just pop in to see whats on the racks.
Also, Kohls- I love this place!!!! I'm newly obsessed with Lauren Conrads collection and the new J.Lo collection. Must get coupons..... oh speaking of coupons, check out some deals to take advantage of this week:

Freddy's Fab-U Labor Day Weekend

We are all safe and sound up here after Hurricane Irene flew through the Island and battered many trees and flooded many communities. We were some of the lucky ones who had power the whole time and only had to clean up some tree damage. I hope that's the first and the last hurricane we get this season.


On a lighter note, this weekend marks the end of summer.... and that's why it needs to be a great weekend filled with friends and fun times. We are hosting our first out of town visitors this weekend. Luckily it's the hubs best friend and girlfriend, who happen to be very easy going and tons of fun, so I can't wait for the company!

There's so much to do and we figure we'll start by going to the Quicksilver surf competition in Long Beach tomorrow. The prize for the winner of the competition is $1 million dollars!!! It's getting alot of hype and there's tons of people coming out to watch so we might as well drive the 5 minutes and check it out!

I would also love to take our friends to my hometown of Port Jefferson. Its such a cute little town with one-off shops, a nice marina, and restuarants. There's plenty of sight-seeing to do!!!

Then there's always the big city... I would be ok with going to see a matinee on Broadway if the weather doesn't hold out.

I hope we play the part of good host and hostess....
