Vacation Thursday

Oops. I forgot to update yesterday! I don't even have a faulty Internet to blame, like I did over the weekend, either. I just plain forgot. Oh well. :)

Vacation is continuing to go well. We spent yesterday driving to the mall and walking around. J had never been to the mall that I usually go to, and I hadn't been there in years. Turns out, there are a lot of empty locations there, which is kind of sad. But J still managed to find some cool new t-shirts at Hot Topic, and then we went to an adjacent mall and we went to TJ Maxx and Michaels. J's Mom had given me a $25 gift card for Michaels that someone had given her (she doesn't shop there, apparently), so I had fun spending that. I got J a couple of bandanas, I got myself a couple of plain t-shirts for $2.50 each that I can totally wear to work, I got a new pair of scissors, and I got a learn to knit kit that I can use to make a scarf. I'm an expert crocheter, but I never really learned to knit.

We also spent quite a while last night watching the end of season 5 of Buffy. J's watching through the series for the first time, and I'm having fun rewatching it. And we just watched the first two episodes of season 6, so that he could see how they brought Buffy back. :) I love that show. The later seasons aren't really as good as the earlier ones, but they're still fun.

We also went today and picked up my birthday cake, yay! It's sitting in the fridge waiting for tomorrow. And once J gets done watching some of his sitcoms (Roseanne, Simpsons), we're going to watch Episode 1 of Star Wars. I've never seen them (I might have seen the original ones at some point, but it was a long time ago, and I don't really remember them).

Oh! And J bought a wireless router today, so we are now wireless in our house! Or at least he is, since my laptop doesn't have integrated wireless, and the router didn't come with a card. But I can buy one, and then I can be wireless, too. And for now, it's just cool that he can go online upstairs, even though the modem is downstairs.

Okay. I'm off to do more fun stuff. Talk to you tomorrow! (On my birthday, woo!)
