Good Evening Crews!

Its Sunday night, and barring Hammon Organ Recital Night, I had a blast this weekend! Of course, if logic serves, You are still in the having of a great weekend, by way of the Avenger Meeting which should, be at either Panera or the Omega, and winding down soon... in about an hour or so. If history is any kind of guide.

Day One, Saturday

This weekend for me has consisted of a great sleep in till 11:45am On Saturday, followed by a loooong shower from 12:45-130p and then had we whisking off to Suzanne's place, slightly behind schedule for a 2:00pm Shopping trip, courtesy Suzanne ala Belated Christmas:)

So, On arrival Suzanne was still getting ready after having spent the night over at Chris and Jesi's and having only arrived at 1 to start getting ready. Which was fine for me, because this was makeup time, and it afforded me the opportunity to do my makeup before going out as I hadn't been able to prior due to time constrainsts. Anyhoo, Suzanne, I, Chris and Jesi took up and went out to the Greentree mall and the first stop on our shopping tour, Sears!

Yes, Sears... because there were some solid coloured mandarin, quasi-business/evening attired tops. So, upping the style meter and gaining significant approval via my peers here, we made off with 3 of em, and they are soooooooooo gorgeous :)

So we went further on to Lane Bryant, and Suzanne found a red tank that at 70% off redlines came about to 4 or 7 bucks! Additionally, we both picked up carbon clone Black blouses, that will be perfect alone or together in a variety of combinations ;) Good choice Suzanne! (And we matched like the Bobsy Twins), and then on our way down to Babbages (or was it Elbo?) we dropped into 'The Avenue' and found a killer top for Suzanne, Black and lacy with support that makes this the winfall of the trip me thinks ;)

Moving on down the way, we stopped at Waldenbooks for the latest Petshop Of Horrors Manga (Vol. 4) and took a tour through Suncoast without actually buying anything there, despite numerous things that caught our eyes.

Still onward and not even to the halfway point of this uni-level mall, we dropped into Payless, because I needed some flats. And when we got there, Jesi spied with her elven eyes, the most beautiful pair of oriental brocade mules that it has ever been my pleasure to own :) So noting the buy two pair get one free, Suzanne got a pair of awesome black boots, and I got my flats and the lovely mules, pictures to be forthcoming, or on the right side bar if I get industrious tonight.

A few store browsings later, we decided that we were fashionably laden... or laden with fashion, and that all this shopping had made us quite famished, so we adjourned to the local China Buffet where acceptable Chinese food, the best damn potato skins, and banana pudding are always on the menu :) After a yummy two hours and an overexuberant 11 year old local in blue camouflage and an eye for Suzanne later, we left and Chris & Jesi had to go home.... and we were off, under cover of darkness, for more shopping at Wallmart!

Sooooo after a little more shopping at Wallmart for sheets, pillows, Champagne and Sangria and other assorteds, I got slightly annoyed because they were out of Cover Girl's Perfect Point Plus eyeliner in Charcoal (GRRRR). But I quickly perked up again after some dew purchasing and a quick accusation of mine being the both the Angel and The Devil on Suzanne's shoulder where shopping is concerned :)

The night ended fairly quickly returning in the OMG cold night via an alternate route due to a traffic accident cleanup right in front of Suzanne and Tess's place. We got back, got warm, did the Fashion Show for Tess, and cracked open the champagne and Sangria, and toasted an awesome day goodbye...falling asleep watching Hackers and Forever Knight Disc 1.

Day Two, Sunday

Day Two has been spent mostly in Hathor Hair Dye Camp! Two Feria Dye Jobs in red, and a crime-scene cleanup later, we were stylin' watching the rest of Forever Knight Disc 1, Pump Up The Volume, and half of Fight Club. I had a great time, got a manicure and pedicure done by Suzanne (cuticles all fixed;) and Had a really relaxed breakfast with the Red Baron and his breakfast pizza's (kept impromptu frozen in the mailbox outside all night).

And Then Suzanne's parents phoned up and we cut the day short as I had to get home anyway to help out with some alterations to the living room (turning it into Amy's bedroom.)

Tommorrow and time during the week permitting, I'm gonna clean up the kitchen somethin fierce before Tony's arrival and we're gonna figure a place to put the Air mattress for Tony, probably in Ben's room, or if I get enough done in my room during the week, then I might have space to throw it in here. But, we shall see.

So, as you can see, I've had a pretty full weekend that just basically rocked :) Thanks Suzanne! Special shouts out to Tess, and Chris and Jesi :) Now, Avenger folk, what did you get up to on Sunday? Someone dish! ;)
