An Extra Hour of Buddhas and Boyfriends

Wow this weekend flew by, even with that time change.  I expected it to feel like it would make the weekend so much longer and it's really not.  It's just going to get darker earlier which will be somewhat depressing.  Meh.  Who cares, though.  It's winter time and November<3 and I'm pleased with that.  My beautiful boyfriend visited me last night with his brother Bryant and Rakim.  They arrived here before I was done babysitting so they stopped by to get my keys where I was babysitting and just made themselves at home.  I felt very inferior when I had to request they let me into my own apartment complex since I had earlier relinquished my keys.  These waiting in my bedroom made up for that feeling.

I think he prides himself on the element of surprise because I wasn't expecting them at all and I was pissed they weren't my favorite flower, daisies.  Once I read the note I was less pissed because at least he tried.  Joking joking joking.  SERIOUSLY JOKING.  I would have been ecstatic (and confused) if the boy had put even weeds in a vase for me.  Although I feel like he'd be trying to tell me something not so good if that were the case.

Ty, a mutual friend of both Bryant and myself, also came over because he hadn't seen Bryant in years.  For a while we thought Bry was just trying to silently terminate the friendship with Ty because he consistently avoided texts that Ty would send, but he's a resistant boy.  And alas, I finally remembered to give Ty his Buddha figurine which Genna and I bought for him in Australia to add to his collection.  We got back from Australia in June of 2011, and I gave him his gift last night.  Nice.  Oh, and did I mention Ty forgot it last night in the living room when he left?  I'll try and give it to him next year I guess.

Patiently waiting for his true owner.

Genna and I went thrift shopping (a favorite bonding activity of ours) yesterday and we were both successful with a few buys, but I got the good end of the deal this time.  The lady waiting on us at the cashier was getting frustrated (I think she was new) and ended up only charging me for my first item...when I had four total.  She told me with her mouth that my total was $3.88 while she told me with her eyes that if I shouldn't question her because I'll be saving myself $15.  Then Gen gets her two items rung up for $13.  We win some we lose some.  It's ok though because I paid her in cold hard cash for this months utility bills which is a huge deal.

I wish everyone a happy and fulfilling extra hour today.
