Recharge

I've had the best couple of days in a long time. I feel like my batteries are recharged. On Tuesday, my cousin, E, asked me to go thrift shopping with her. Since the new resale shop was practically right next to Alterra (same strip mall-y thing) we had some delicious coffee as well. We hung around and decided to get me an actual ring for my nose. So we headed over to Brady and Farwell, the closest place to her house that would put the new ring in for me. I'm sad to report that they decided that getting lunch was more important than paying customers (since E decided to get her nose done as well). Then, I took E to work and hung out with Bestie. We watched Twilight. It was so amazingly awful that it was actually good. Just for the laughs.

Yesterday, I decided that since it was so ungodly hot E and I needed to go sun ourselves on the beach. I had a doctor's appointment and so did Rorschach, so we didn't get down to E's house til around 5. We went to Alterra on the Lake, sipped some delicious espresso/mocha shakes, and relaxed before heading off to the beach.

We ended up getting to a good spot (the deserted part of Bradford) at the perfect time. Still warm, but the sun was starting to go down. So we sunned ourselves for a good hour or so, just chatting away and making plans to do fun things.

Once it started to get chilly and a few kids started harassing us, we decided we were hungry. Where would I go for dinner on the most perfect day of my life? Noodles & Company, that's where. If there was one restaraunt that I would eat at, 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, it would be Noodles. Everything is so amazingly delicious.

Then we headed back to E's house, wandered around Wal-Mart for a while, and I came home and cuddled up with a good book and a cuddly cat.

It was honestly the most perfect two days in such a long time. I'm so grateful that I have the freedom to do those kinds of things. And, tomorrow I'm going to Summerfest with The Boy in the morning, then meeting up with Bestie and Squirrel Boy to see Carolina Liar. I'm really really excited.

Peace out everyone!
