dreamlingHad a decent weekend. Saturday I went to the Salon ! woo! I am now a sexy red head! It's a pretty auburn color and goes really well with my skin tone, yah! new hair, new hair! I'll try to take some cam pics or something, to show it off, it's so much fun.
Then we spent most of the afternoon moving my parents biz into a new warehouse they'll be using. It's a big deal, this is the first time ever the family biz has moved out of the house. Nice place too, has a garage door they can pull into and unload their boxes. It was kinda cold, hope they figure out the heat thing. My husband works for them, and I don't want him to freeze his toesies! heh. Called Brian, poor guy, I can only get a hold of him when my mom needs something moved, but he's a good sport and came to help out anyway.
After the moving bits(which they need to do more of next weekend) Brian, Carlo and I played Xbox, then headed over to Olive Garden. Brian went off to the club, and Sarah came over for more xbox(around 10). It was sooo late though, We did some racing(which she was really good at, and I was abysmal, 2 min behind them on one race) Then she wanted to see him race it in one person mode. (at this point I began to nod off, I actually fell asleep before she left, I was dead tired, couldn't keep myself awake) It was so nice to see her though.
Sunday was pretty relaxing, I played Munch's Oddessey on the Xbox till Carlo woke up, then we got bagels. (Saw some friends of my parents who raved over my hair, woo!)
Later, I did some laundry and decided to go to Half Price books, but stopped at the camera company first, to ask them if they could fix my poor elph camera, which won't eject the film. :( Well I turned into the parking lot, and their was a parking space to my left, and a huge truck right in front of me that wouldn't move, and they were kinda coming towards me, so I tried to turn quick into the left parking spot, but I didn't have quite enough room and as I pulled in, I heard branches from the straggly bush scrape the side of the car, lightly.
This, I though, won't do. So I tried to back up to get away from the branches, but, of course, I turned the wheel wrong, and ended up getting my mirror stuck in the bramble, and the branches were scratching harder. They were knotty and trimmed, and about the size of my pink finger, around, so pretty substantial branches. I almost had a nervous breakdown, I could barely pull forward, there was a car in the next spot, I was almost on the curb to the right, I couldn't get out, and I was kinda on a slope, half outta the spot. I finally got it all figured out, but it looks like I've scraped through the clear coat on the white neon a bit. *sigh* grrr.
I finally did get to Half Price, and picked up some books int 2 series I was looking for, but not the next book in each of the series I need to read, ack! I picked those 2 up at Barnes and noble, and went home to read until we needed to do dinner with Carlo's dad and his girlfriend.
Dinner was nice, steak sirloin, shrimp, rice and chocolate covered biscotti like cookies for desert. And lots of talking and stories from his Dad. He's a very interesting person, though hard to get a hold of. Talia had some great pictures from our wedding, which we'll get copies of later this week. Yah!
So, it was a good day briefly punctuated by a couple frustrating moments. So nice to have more books to read though. Nice and relaxing. snuggled into bed before sleep reading No Quarter by Tanya Huff.
