Weekend fun
Colleen and I finally met up Friday with the rest of her Powerpuff Posse from work. We went to Friendly's and had food and fun. Colleen decided she wanted me around for the weekend- I take a really long time to do anything, and me taking my time would slow her down and get her to relax. So I stayed on the couch Friday night, and spent most of the day Saturday watching Colleen in pre-trip mode.
We had breakfast with Wade at Perkin's, a resteraunt I remember as a treat when visiting my grandmother in Iowa. I didn't realize they were this far east. Yummy trippleberry syrup. Mmmmmmmmm. Then we went to the mall to froof. I had my hair trimmed a bit and braided in a crown around my head. Colleen had hers trimmed and washed and came out looking lovely. Then we had out nails done. My fingernails are shiny and opal-like, while my toenails are purple!!!! PURPLE!!!! I love having very purple toenails. Yay!
We stopped and got a few other travel essentials for Colleen, then tried to have ice cream with Aaron. This didn't work out so we grabbed Kevin and Berardi instead. Colleen's favorite ice cream place turns out to be Berardi's favorite too, and I must agree that they had some wonderful flavors and were exceedingly generous with the servings. Brain got a large- 5 scoops, and we sang him Happy Birthday while he tried to finish it. He probably would have if Colleen hadn't needed to pack and the cone hadn't fallen apart under the weight of the ice cream.
Then Brian and I went to Sabbat while Colleen packed. There was a big battle with what was left of the Inquisition, and they lost. It took AGES for the battle to start, and once it did Di ended up shooting people rather then hitting them because she was not in the first wave of people through the door and could not really get close to anyone. I left once it was over.
We got up ass-early to get Colleen to the airport. She's going to be the prettiest woman getting off the plane in Georgia, and I hope she has a wonderful vacation. She really deserves one.
I wanted to see Sinbad today, but there are no shows after 5:00. So I'll probably see Tomb Raider. I doubt it will matter that I haven't seen the first one.
The only sad note of the weekend was coming in to work on AI and finding a dead bird on the stairs of Building 70. Finding dead animals is a disturbing trend that has to stop.
