Sunday

We got up at 4:20 to leave by 5. We got going a little early which was nice. I missed my mom by the time we got to Hinckley. Got to do most of our driving in the cooler hours. I could only do 1.5 of my 2 hour stint. I got too tired. But Shaun didn't seem to mind too much. The drive was pretty uneventful, and we got to Long Lake in time for his parent's surprise party. Well, it was a surprise to his mom. She got a beautiful past, present, future diamond ring. Her first diamonds. She was really surprised and almost cried, but she fought it off. But you could tell she was really touched and happy.

The food was really good. I love taco dip! And oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Shaun's grandma always makes them with the right amount of crispy and chewy. We went swimming with the kids (Sam, Max, Travis, Emma, Ben and Courtney) and some family friends. Steve went with us to keep and eye on the kidlings. Swam for about 45 minutes, then we went back to the shelter and Shaun and I left to go home and relax. We took showers and then went to Wal-Mart so I could buy Harry Potter. Went home again where he watched Garden State and I read for a little bit then fell asleep. We went to DQ for supper (Chicken strips basket, num!) and I got a blizzard. That was ok. It had mostly melted by the time I got to eat it since I called my mom quick and talked to Leo and Leanne for a while. Then I read from 9:30 to midnight.


Monday

Got up today at 8:30, took a shower, read a little bit then went to Seek (temp agency) in Sheboygan to hopefully get some temp work. FORGOT to bring a resume so I had to come back, print some off, then go back again. Dropped it off, was told that some lady would call me back, and that was it. So I went to Target (it took some driving around a little lost - I wasn't used to going there from that direction) and got a new toothbrush and two hair clippies. Wandered around a little bit and that was it.

I do the SAME thing with my mom! By the time I get driving in my car, I start missing her (and the rest of my family) and I get sad and wish they lived closer!

I thought of you the other night when I was walking around downtown because I saw a couple people dressed as Harry Potter characters at the Mpls Barnes & Noble. ;)
