housewarming for brooke
By Eric | August 11, 2002 11:21 am
Saturday ended up being kind of an aimless day… Sara thought she was going to get called into work, then they called and said they didnt need her, so she was gonna go in at 5 like she was supposed to, and she’d be the first one to go home, usually like 9ish. Which was actually important for once, because we had Brooke’s housewarming party to go to! (More on that later). So after wasting a bunch of time in the morning after I got up, I picked up Sara, and we hit one lame garage sale in Tonawanda, then the Salvo on Military, and of course Frizb’s 🙂 (Gotta love 4 for $10!) I picked up the last Bush CD I didnt have (Science of things), the 2nd Tonic CD, Local H, and a band called Skunk Anansie, who I heard about because the female lead singer did a track with Sevendust. woohoo! After that we picked up lunch at the Bvld mall, and Sara had to get ready to go to work, so I dropped her back off about 3:30. I proceeded to go out Niagara Falls way, stopped at Media Play, and the Goodwill across the street from the Factory Outlet Mall. Goodwill was kind to me…. Finally got Atari paddles, and two more games! (River Raid and Berzerk!) Then went to the mall itself, and finally got some books at the discount book store. I got the NASA Mission Control book I’ve been lusting after forever, the book of Lincoln’s speeches (Dr F will be thrilled!), and a little surprise for Karl (dunno if he reads this, so I’m not giving it away, you’ll find out monday!). So I came back from there, and vegged out at home for a while. Never really did eat dinner, just lounged. Sara finally got let out of work about 10ish, and me, her and Adrienne finally hit the road to Brooke’s place about 11. Brooke was our high school valedictorian, and is going to UB to get her MBA in Corporate Finance. Her and her boyfriend got an apartment near Gates Circle Hospital in the city, and had a party to “open it up”. We turned out to be the only people from high school there, but being the socal butterflies that we are, that didn’t matter, and of course, we ended up knowing mutual people… one of Brooke’s friends, Roy, lives down in Nassau county and knows (or at least knows of) Dan! So the night was fun, catching up with Brooke and meeting her friends and all that. We didn’t leave till about 2:30, and Sara needed to get a card (and food, of course!), so before we went home, we stopped at Wegmans… mmmm… iced animal cookies.. aaaarrrrrrghghghgghhghg 🙂 So finally got to bed about 4, and up at 11… not too shabby 🙂
current mood: still waking up
