I am supposed to be in bed right now. I am exhausted and think I got a maximum of 2h sleep last night. There are 2 things I try not to do right before going to bed: watch the news or write intense emails. Broke my rule, barely got any sleep, and am surprised that I am even conscious at this point. Instead I choose to blog and keep myself up for a short while longer so I can catch some of retro night - if I am home I can't miss that. That would just be wrong.

Last night I stopped for BBQ after work at Jenn & Stew's, prior to the guys' geekfest. Then Jenn and I hit west side Frenchy's. Jenn found a really nice sweater and a hawaiian shirt (more on that later). I found a skanky top. She talked me into buying it, I've yet to decide that I will actually brave wearing it.

After the Frenchy's run, Jenn and I headed back to my place and Mare met up with us to watch Pride & Prejudice. Jenn had never seen it so we had to indoctrinate her. We got through the first 3 hours, then they headed home. Or tried to. Dory had a flat tire again and Mare had to call her dad to pick them up (Dory was blocking my car so I couldn't drive them home). They left and I set to work on staying up too late writing an email.

This morning the tow truck came to inflate Mare's tire and then she came and got her car to take into the dealership to get the tire issue figured out. I took my usual forever to get ready and then headed to pick up Jenn for more shopping. We met up with Mare at Old Navy, which seemed to be a madhouse today. I got what I was looking for, some thin long sleeve t's for layering and the tunic I wanted was finally on sale. Didn't see my size at first but then Jenn noticed a mannequin was wearing it so we made them take it off so I could have it :) Mission accomplished. Jenn got some flip-flops and Mare got an awesome suit.

Jenn and I then headed to Sussex Frenchy's. Just past the Dolan Rd Irving I was behind a truck with a camper when a rock (not a pebble, a rock, like the size of a golf ball) came flying off the top of the camper and bounced off the road and into my car. Spent the rest of the drive wondering how big a dent I had in the side of my car. Luckily it's just a couple of small scratches. Thank God, this car has had enough bad luck from me cracking the front on a foot-high curb, dropping a dot matrix printer on it, and getting rear-ended. It's been an adventure with this car.

We got to Sussex and Jenn found a pile of stuff, she had a good trip there. I managed to find a pair of cords for next winter and a very cute hawaiian dress. We headed back to SJ, I dropped Jenn off and went to church. I find church a very calming place, so the fact that I was exhausted meant I had a hard time staying awake. Haven't fallen asleep in church yet so that is a good thing.

After church I headed back to Jenn's, we went and got chinese food and then went to my place to finish the rest of P&P, because once you start watching it, you have to finish it. Our chinese food was gross, and not as cheap as it used to be. No more going to China Coast.

This summer. Hawaiian luau. Where we all wear hawaiian clothes. And eat ham. Unless someone wants to roast a whole pig with an apple in its mouth. Jenn and I are already in the planning stages. If you see any hawaiian shirts, pick them up in preparation. The coincidence of Jenn and I both finding hawaiian stuff this weekend is a sign that we must have this party. It'll be a blast! We'll all wear silly clothes and get laid, er, I mean, wear leis.

Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to try some cliff jumping.
