While J was away....

...I got to play :)

Now, if you ask T, that's not unusual for me...but we just ignore that comment! When J goes to camp, as I've mentioned in a previous post, I get to visit friends too...friends I really only see once or so a year, old camp friends. The bonds we made at camp are hard ones to break. Even after being apart for a year, we tend to pick up as usual...(course 1/2 of us blog or facebook so I guess that helps keep us updated too, ha!)

Ok...Wednesday, Batgirl and I visited a couple of friends for a few minutes before heading to find her a new computer (see her story HERE). That planned short trip turned into a 5 hour trip b/c the BBuy stores in town made it ridiculous. BUT...she got her computer...granted, it's not the "brand" she's usually chosen, but I (and the knowledgeable computer guy she talked to for an hour) helped her step out of her comfort zone to choose the HP. It's shiny and nice and loaded with ram and memory, etc...a digi-scrapper's dream...and it's shiny...can you tell that impressed me? Easily pleased :) So this day didn't go as planned (did I mention we didn't get to eat until 6pm that day? We were thriving on early morning coffee) but we made it back just in time to pick up J and then I kept my neices & J Wed. night so my brother and his wife could have a night out.

Thursday, we hung out in town w/friends and I spent a few minutes watching my adorable neices sweat in a non-air conditioned gym for gymnastics (the little one gave up after 30 min...poor thing's cheeks were so red! I quickly saw why my sis-in-law hadn't taken them much this summer) That night, my brother kept the kids while my sis-in-law & I went to see Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince with my camp friends. This had been planned for weeks! See...2 years ago, when HP#5 came out, we happened to be in town for camp and 4 of us girls were able to go together during the day while J was at camp. So we HAD to do #6 together when we found out it started this week! It was perfect, but this time we went at night so we also had dinner out at the usual Mexican restaurant.

Friday, Batgirl and I spent a fun day shopping in a nearby town with one of our close camp friends. We had a wonderfully relaxing day...found some fun items, had a nice lunch and even better desserts from the bakery we all love. That night, (after that AWESOME awards ceremony I mentioned in a previous post), Aunt L and KK, J & I, Batgirl & her girls and mother-in-law & my friend Janette & her 2 girls went to see Beauty and the Beast at the outdoor theater. It was really good. J hadn't been too excited about it, well, you know...b/c it's girly. But...he changed his mind quickly, he loved it. Gaston was his favorite character, ofcourse! Cracked us up.

So, that's just some of the fun that went on...hope you have a great Wednesday! And even though I'm not home yet, don't forget it's Anti-Procrastination Day!!! Find something you've been putting off and DO IT! Get it finished or atleast work on it, you'll feel great about it.
