Some Comment on the Weather.
Feb. 23rd, 2007 09:16 amThe flight back east was uneventful - a bifurcated red-eye (that's a red-eye broken up into two flights with a natty stop-over in the middle) that I managed to sleep through somehow, even with all the terminal wandering.
Once at Mom's I settled in and relaxed, watching the telly and conversing on general topics. We looked at a variety of houses that I might be interested in buying (as I've decided to buy a house rather than rent one when I move) and discussed the pre-approval of financing options. I hopped on my trusty Internet connection to send out emails coordinating my visit to the University next week with my plans to go house hunting. Then, I laid back and vegged. Mom introduced me to a show called Firefly, which I'd heard talk of but never gotten around to watching, and I'm seriously loving it. It's an excellent Sci-fi series that should never have been canceled (although, there's no doubt in my mind why it was canceled - and goddamn the fucking prudes in our society with their gutter-brained antics).
Yesterday we ran some fun errands. Mom took me over to a local jewelers. She's having an old ring of her great-grandmother's made into three rings for myself and my two cousins. So I had a good time picking out the setting. Apparently, white gold is all the rage right now and the girls will be getting white gold rings, but I specifically requested yellow gold. I'm a traditionalist, or something. If I want white gold I'll get silver - you know?
After the jewelers and the library, we went to a nursery and bought a few plants. I get the impression that Mom's ready for the cold weather to end, and I get a sense of what I'll be facing from time to time after I move. Once done there we went over to a super cute, and super expensive, clothing boutique where I tried on all kinds of adorable clothes that I could never dream of owning and wound up with one sassy outfit and a shirt that - with the right pair of go-go boots - will make an awesome party outfit and is now being held in reserve for my BFF's birthday party that's coming up in a few weeks.
Dinner took place at a Mexican restaurant that we love and involved the acquisition and consumption of the fabled Big Beer (tm) - a 32oz. marvel that can be yours for under $4. Oh yeah, and the food is fabulous, too. ;)
Well, off I go to try and get some studying done. Miles to go before I sleep, as always.
