The much more concise version as blogger errored and lost the original… grrrr.
Friday: Went back to my hometown. Saw mom & brother and some cousins & aunt. Met cousin’s super cute little baby (born Feb, first child out of all the cousins). Almost fell asleep relaxing and holding the baby as she slept. Also got to see mom’s store for the first time since she bought it and it looks great. I’m really proud of her.
Saturday: Drove home to meet up with CS and go to Bay Area for sister’s birthday and Easter festivities. Watched 3rd Lain dvd on the way. Interesting series and I’m looking forward to the last disk. Speaking of Netflix, did I mention I finally filled our queue? 500 dvd limit….. Anyway, we got there and went out for italian for birthday lunch with his mom and sister. Yummy food and then we went to see Robots which was so funny it made me laugh out loud a few times, which is darned rare. Makes me wish I’d see Ice Age on the big screen since they were done by the same company. Which is “Blue Sky.” Who I’ve never heard of…. I thought Pixar and Dreamworks was it for cg stuff like this. Now I’ll have to go research it. Anyway, I was a bit worn out by all the activity by then so I grabbed a bit of shut-eye before heading off to their dad’s place to do birthday gifts and go to dinner at Benihana’s. The chef put on a great show, so it was really fun, and I’m glad I got to go. I think I’m set now for the next 10 years or so, though. I don’t need the slow service or the crowd.
Sunday: I got to look for easter eggs in WoW for a bit before it was time to head to CS’s aunt & uncle’s place in Livermore. There was a ton of good food and CS got to ogle his sister’s boyfriend’s psp and play for a bit. The cinnamon rolls CS & his sister had been mentioning all day Saturday were indeed quite tasty. An egg hunt followed for the two youngest there (his sister & cousin) and everyone helped a bit. The garden was lovely and made for many good hiding spots among the flowers and bushes. They also had a kumquat tree and let me fill a couple bags to take home. They taste like a sweet & sour candy (which I love!) and they’re fruit so they’re healthy! On the way home I watched Miss Congeniality, which was cute, but I really don’t see how they’re squeezing a sequal out of it. (Speed 2 anyone?) After that I got the wireless working again and settled in to obsessively collecting easter eggs in WoW. Probably due to the stress of the weekend. In a mild case of sour grapes I’ve decided that I don’t want the easter dress anymore as pink is not my color. Hmph. All that time wasted and I could have leveled to 30 and gotten my travel form back.
Upcoming: a week of chores to get caught up from these busy weekends and to finally get sluggo and kill those snails!!! And a weekend trip up the coast with CS for my birthday, yay!
You know, CS had that for a bit and I had a ton of fun designing some characters (sooo many options! yay!) but the game itself I didn’t get into at all. But I obviously super duper adore playing WoW – but then again, the whole fantasy world is very me, and the whole comic book hero world is very you.
WoW???
But… but… I’ve hardly gotten used to playing CoH!!!
