Alright, I’m back in the swing of life after being on “vacation.”  Let me tell you, college orientation is NOT a vacation.  Too much information, too fast and all I can do is see $$...and wonder exactly who’s going to be responsible for my underage child while away at college.

This past weekend I was out and about.  I enjoy being gone on the weekends just as much as I enjoy staying home on the weekend.  I went to a baby shower and a “wedding reception” on Saturday and hung out with Sis on Sunday.

The baby shower was fun, I enjoyed the people there…usually I sit around and don’t talk to anyone.  I made a baby blanket in Halloween colors (that’s how I know ToyKeeper and his wife) and wrapped within it clothes for each 3 month time frame for the baby.  I managed to “win” one game (I was one of three) and I think that’s pretty good at my advanced age.  I had to leave a bit early because I was headed to the OC for the wedding reception.

The reception was held at a British pub, and it was noisy and fun and full of people I knew.  There was food I could eat and it would’ve only been better if I could’ve had a pint.  I got to share my funny story about the outrage I felt when I logged on to FB and saw the Mr. was married to NOT MY FRIEND!!! But it turned out she had changed her name format, so he was saved from a killing by me.

Sunday I spent time with Sis, we hung out, chatted and had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.  No, no Sheldon or Leonard – but the waiter had awesome curly hair (could’ve even been microdreds) pulled back into a bun-like thing.

It was a long-ish drive home, but I got there around 10, so it wasn’t too late an arrival.

This upcoming weekend, well, Thursday I’m going down to L.A. for a friend’s birthday, then to the OC for another birthday Saturday…then of course 4^th of July…probably at my cousin’s place.  We’re also supposed to go gaming at Elsa’s place Friday night and a nose piercing for Cousin H.  Whew…time to start imposing on friends and family. :-D
