finishing sleepover
so, i woke up in the morning, and it was 8:30, i think. Her clock has birds instead of number. then i watched a squirrel in a tree. then i think i woke Anna up, and we both were so smashed we fell asleep again for an hour. (well, not smashed. we didn't drink. lol) once we woke up at 9:30, we woke up Alison and talked bout getting up till 1. we realized that Alison had to go around 10 to go on a camping trip 2. Julia, Anna's sister came down, ready to watch cartoons. we got up around 10, and i had a waffle as we watched a little of Julia's cartoon, then we finally got up and went to her bedroom to just chat and read magazines and stuff. Then, we did makeovers cause she has a lot of designer stuff, and we asked to walk over to Solano to shop and have lunch. we went to a nice mexican place like i did the last time i went over there. we had some really good enchiladas and after running into 2 ppl from school, headed over to do some shopping. Problem. I had 5 bucks and some change. Know what that can buy you on Solono? Not much, let me tell ya. not much at all. But i did what i could. we went to a shop with a lot of nice lotions and stuff, and i bought some soaps for my grandma for her birthday. then, we went to a stationary shop. i really need a set, but alas, no money. lol. just got a caligraphy pen. we ran across the street (almost getting run over) and went to this awesome pharmacy and i got a pad of paper that wasn't made from trees! save the trees, y'all! got some free green tea too, and it wasn't the cheap ass kind, which was good. we headed on home after that, taking the long way. once we got back there, we showed off our stuff, and then went back up to her room for more magazines and makeup and talking, before we decided to take a walk. after clearing it with the 'rents, we headed out, and bascially, walked and talked, stopping in a bookstore for about a sec, but kept going for lack of money for about a mile till mom called me to tell me she was at Juneteeth at city hall, and i convinced her to not come right then. we went back to the main circle and called Anna's dad to see if he would come give us a ride back. he didn't. also, on the way, we played "what are our teachers doing right now?" ill add some of them later, im just trying to get through the recap. we then started hiking back, and then just did some more hanging out till her babysitter and her mom came back, and my mom showed up not too long after. they talked for a little while, i did have to head home, after being with Anna for liteally, 35 hours. ( 8:30 on Friday to 7:30 on Sunday.) i didn't actually go home, we went to the mall to get some sandwiches, and then to the fabric store to buy stuff on this big sale they had. then, i headed home. End of Saturday |
