Another 3 day weekend come and gone. A much needed break after my manager was gone for a week, leaving the reins of the store in my hands. This weekend Milca was able to get Friday and Saturday off, so we spent the entirety of it together.
Friday was a day to run errands. After waking to the typical racket, we went to the bank, the post office, and to Would You Believe to get costumes for our trip to the renaissance Faire on Saturday.
Would You Believe is owned by some old family friends, who I also know through school. I always go there to rent my costumes because they have an EXCELLENT selection, they are uber friendly, and they hook me up. I never have to pay a deposit, and the cost for the rental is typically slashed in half, if not more.
Working friday was the youngest daughter, Sara, and her mom, Candy. Sara and I caught up on all the gossip and whatnot. With Milca there, she was able to listen in on all the old school dirt. I don’t keep anything from her, but being able to listen in on two peeps remembering the days of yore is a very educational experience. After getting the proper amout of info, and giving some as well, we then went on to Milca’s mom’s to feed the dogs, and clean the house up for her mom’s return from Argentina on Sunday.
That night we hung with the Pooks, the Nikki, and the Nikki’s man. It was some good times. Nikki’s man Sean (there’s too many spellings, this is the most common, and I’m likely wrong anyhow) is very quiet, but we had some good chatting. I did my typical commercial for Netflix, then after Nikki and Sean left the Pooks, Milca and I watched American Pop.
Saturday we geared up for the Faire bright and early. It looked like rain was upon us. When we got there, it was. We got to see some cool stuff, but the cold, rain, mud, and general blah-ness prompted us to leave early. We got return passes, so we can come back another day. I don’t think we’ll go in costume, but if we do, we’ll make our own. I really should have a Dread Pirate Roberts costume, or something like it, so I’ll piece that together. We got home and hung out with my brother Corey and his friend Michael for a bit.
Sunday we went to Milca’s mom’s and had a late lunch and welcomed her home. She brought Milca a new pair of shoes, which she needed. She also brought me a leather wallet. She didn’t know if I wanted one, neede one, or even liked wallets. I did, I did, and I do. My current wallet was falling apart and was flimsy. It was an eel skin wallet, so it had some cool character, but the skin had stretched and broke, so the eel skin was almost entirely gone. Those are my favorite presents. the ones that you need, and really want, ut just don’t get for yourself. It was much appreciated.
We left after having some good grub, picked up my brother Charles, and went to see Kill Bill vol. 2. My socks were rocked completely off. Rapture, indeed. If you haven’t seen vol 1, go see it now. Once you have seen it, getting you to want to see vol. 2 will not be a challenge at all, as the hook at the end of vol 1 will make you yearn for the next installment.
We got home, went to sleep, and so ended a 3 day weekend.
Boobies.
