Ermmm... I don't really remember what we did on Friday. Probably just decompressed from the week.
Saturday: Went to C's parents house just so he could pick up mail. But then his mom mentioned that she had converted some home videos into dvds. So...we got stuck watching them. It wasn't too bad. We saw 3, one of his mom's 27th bday, his dad's 30th bday, and his great-grandma's 87th bday, one of his dad going somewhere in upstate NY and watching car racing, and then him flying on a glider, and then one of C's 1st bday, him learning to swim, his first steps, and him biking in his neighborhood. He was such a cutie! (I guess he still is!)
Then we threw responsibilities to the wind and hung out by our friend's pool for the rest of the afternoon. We were supposed to get groceries, go shopping for a few presents for events coming up, and clean our apartment, but it was way too nice out. And it's really nice to be able to just say screw it! And do whatever we want! It was a perfect Saturday summer afternoon. Our friends bbq'ed up some hot dogs and ribs, we drank beers and swam/waded in the pool.
Sunday we were supposed to go to the Point Pleasant beach with my mom, but she was so indecisive all weekend. By 7pm Saturday, she said that she was tired and a whole day at the beach would've been too much, so she would plan something else with us soon. Then Sunday morning at 9am (when we were getting ready to go to the beach with our friends), she said she wanted to go. But by this point, we already had alternate plans. I felt bad, but we started trying to make plans with her on Friday, and she said she was out on Sat night. So I felt pretty guilty, but we weren't going to just drop our friends last minute either.
So we headed to a different beach, and got there at 10:45 only to find out that the park was full!! Ugh! But we were able to park nearby, and our friends (who got there about an hour before) were able to pick us up right at the park gates and take us to where they were set up...so we were able to enjoy the beach!
And this was the first time I fully got in the water! It was pretty warm, and almost no jellyfish (they freak me out). But I did got knocked down twice! The first time I was able to remember to hang on to my sunglasses (I have no idea why I thought it would be a good idea to wear them into the ocean!),...but the second time, I forgot, and they were gone. We searched for about 10 minutes to no avail. C was already trying to console me, and I was telling myself that it was ok, because at least they were only $10 (though they were my first pair of amber lenses, and they fit my face perfectly)...when our friend went right to one spot and found them! He just walked straight into the ocean, and picked them out like they were on a shelf! He definitely saved the beach day!
I can't find any pics of me in the sunglasses, but you can kinda see them on top of my head here
Yesterday I stayed home from work. From Sunday, my eye kinda hurt, but I figured the pain would go away. Sunday night my eye was tearing pretty bad, and felt strained. I took my contacts out and rinsed my eye out, but it didn't help. I went to the doctor, and she said that I probably had "iriatis" - basically an eye irritation caused by my contacts, but taking the contacts out a few days would probably clear it right up. She gave me a prescription to use in case it did develop into conjunctivitis, but it feels MUCH better, so I don't think I'll have to use it. And she gave me a note for work. Which was great because even though I called my boss at 6:45 AM leaving a message saying I was going to be out because of my eye, apparently she didn't get it and was asking my coworkers (who then texted me) where I was. I called her 3 more times, but she never answered so I left her voice messages, and texted my coworkers that I went to Dr. but would be back tomorrow (today). It's just so weird that she didn't get my messages- I know I didn't misdial because it was her voice message on the machine. Oh wells, at least I have coworker friends that care enough to get in touch with me, and a note to clear up any additional confusion.
So yesterday I woke up late, went to the Dr., straightened up the apartment a bit, took a nap, did some laundry, and then made chocolate chip cookies just for the heck of it. They came out a little mis-shapen, but delicious!

QUESTIONS
1. When is the last time you read the printed paper?
I read the Comics just about every Sunday...does that count??!
2. Who would you rather go on a date with, George Clooney, Brad Pitt or David Beckham?
George Clooney. I think Brad Pitt is weird for being with that Jolie crew, and Beckham is hot, but doesn't "wow" me. Clooney is sophisticated and seems like a real charmer...not to mention very handsome!
3. Do you like to cook? Do you have a specialty dish?
No, I don't like to cook. But sometimes I like to bake- my specialty is pumpkin pie :)
4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Australia, because I've always wanted to go there. I think I would love the culture, the overall vibe, and of course the Great Barrier Reef!
5. If you're married, do you see yourself married to the same person for the rest of your life? If you're not married, do you see yourself getting married?
Yes, I definitely see myself getting married. One day, hopefully!
6. What is your favorite time of the day?
7:40-ish pm. That's when C picks me up from the train. I love that I'm (almost) home, he picks me up, and we talk about our days.
