I got in touch with another friend from "back in the days" who lives about as far north of me as my other friend lives south - the one I spent a weekend with a few weeks back. If everything goes according to plan, I will be going up to spend this coming weekend with her and her three children...hmm... Should be an interesting time, to say the least!

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent. You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored. You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts. And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be.

You Are 50% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird... But too damn weird to do anything about it!

Candy Cigarettes

You're a total badass, but you don't taste very good.

You Are a Strawberry Daiquiri

You're a fun, playful drinker who loves to party. You may get totally wasted, but you're always a happy drunk!

Ok, I need to give a bit more explanation for the last couple entries I've posted in the photo blog. On Tuesday, my mom and I picked up her childhood friend (coincidentally also my godmother) who is spending a couple days here. We had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, then went to White Bear Avenue shopping. I got a couple shirts, a sweater, and some jeans at the Salvation Army (and not embarrassed to say so; they're cute and they were damn cheap!). Then we went to this place called Ceragem and used these awesome massage beds, which are totally free to use, anytime. After that, we came home and played some games, ate waaaayyy too much junk food and drank three bottles of wine between us!

Wednesday I refrained from joining them on their trip to a new local mall. I actually wasn't really too hung over, I was just really tired and pretty dehydrated.

Today we went to St. Paul to try to go to some art museums, but couldn't find anything worth going to. We wanted to have sushi for lunch, so I'd looked up where to have it online and found a Sakura in downtown St. Paul. My mom remembered that my cousin worked somewhere around there but couldn't remember where; we were going to call him to find out but didn't have his number along. As we drove along trying to locate the restaurant, we passed some library - I forget the guy it's named for; somebody Hill (not Hank!) and decided to check it out for shits and giggles. We walk in the front door and who's standing at the front desk but my cousin. I mean, what are the odds?? So he showed us around there for awhile, then we went and walked around for an hour or so and came back to get him for lunch. The Sakura happened to also be conveniently located two blocks from there!

After all of that, we decided to tour a bunch of models for local townhome complexes being built, just for something else free and interesting to do. One of them had all these gift baskets all over the kitchen table as part of the decor and they were filled with little things of coffee and biscuits and stuff; I copped a bag of hazelnut coffee for breakfast tomorrow ;) And that pretty much wraps up the highlights.

Went to my cousin's wedding last night. Damn, weddings make me feel bad. I'm such a bitter old hag. Receptions with complimentary wine are nice, though. I'll have pictures whenever my aunt and/or cousins send me copies.
