Sometimes I hate computers. But that is not the reason why I didn't update last week. I decided to take the week off because of the holiday. Go me. I also decided to continue updating my life's events on LiveJournal for the time being because I'm hoping that the next person who friends me is actually a Hollywood exec who wants to turn my LJ into a movie or a literary agent who wants to make it a book. With sequels (for both). If I post only on Facebook, then I would be depriving the world of my witty musings and general self-indulgence and that would be a pity. So on I go...

Friday I had the day off from work so I went to The Limited because I had a coupon. There were some good sales to be had there, too, and I took advantage: two camis at the price of buy one, get one 50% off (The Limited is the only store in the world that makes camis without the stupid shelf bras), a bold flower print dress on sale for $25, a deep purple short-sleeve top with ruffle neckline (not on sale), and a sea foam green 3/4 shirt on sale for $9.99. Plus an extra $30 off with my coupon. AND they gave me more coupons!! I think it's safe to say that the only place I'll be shopping for clothes for the next two months is The Limited. It doesn't take much more than coupons to make me a loyal customer.

Friday night Mike and I tried to eat at the Sonic that just (FINALLY) opened near us. Seems that every person in the state of New Jersey had the same idea because there was a long line. So we left. I'll just take him to one in Missouri the next time we go because no one there really cares that much about Sonic anymore and there are, like, 25 million to choose from.

Saturday was the Fourth of July and Mike and I drove down to his parents' beach house. We walked along the boardwalk and I got a free sand pail and shovel and frisbee. Then we ate subpar hot dogs at Windmill. Then I fell asleep on his parents' couch while we were reading books and listening to the Yankees game on the radio. We played some pool. His dad BBQ'd chicken. We went back to the beach to watch the fireworks and listen to obnoxious people talking behind us. Then we tried to do a puzzle back at the house while waiting for the traffic to die down so we could go home and that puzzle was gosh dern hard! It's unfinished on the dining room table.

Sunday I did not much of anything. Practiced french braiding my hair, which turned out okay. Scrapbooked a lot and used up all of my adhesive so I need to go out this weekend and get more. I also need more paper for my wedding album and I hope that the good Michael's still has it in stock! Other than that, I think the weekend has been succintly summed up. So yeah! I hope everyone had a good Fourth of July. Kind of sucks to be back at work after a 3-day weekend, but what are ya gonna do?
