Fun weekend, and yay, Friday’s my birthday! (Should I yay about that? It’s my last birthday in my twenties. How strange. But I’m not seriously stressing out about that. It’s just weird.)

Let’s seeee…Friday night, George and I went to this new Chinese buffet on the West Bank. Disgusting. Well, not completely gross, but it used to be a Shoney’s, and you can tell. It was just weird. We went to the pub afterwards, but George left after a little while because he wasn’t feeling well. I suppose from dinner, but I felt fine. I think he just ate too much. So I stayed at the pub for a while, hung out with Polly and Colin and Lindsay and her sister. It got pretty crowded, and I left a little while before midnight.

On Saturday, Terry and I went to the Navy base, to the exchange. It’s like the best store in the world. Love it. So cheap! And then George and I went and picked out new glasses for him – I swear I picked out the pair he got, but he insists I didn’t. Hmmph. After that, Terry and I went to Metairie to return something for her computer, which I’m attempting to fix up for her. Then we went to the Babies r Us store and scanned some more stuff for her registry. I was paranoid that people would think that I was the pregnant one, but since she’s quite obviously with child, I may have been overreacting. But she let me scan the stuff, which was fun. And which also made me realize just how expensive babies are. Very. Went to the pub that night. Lots and lots of LSU fans. Don’t know how they found the pub, can only imagine they spilled onto the ferry and wandered over. Hmm. I left just as the Oklahoma fans were getting there. Whew!

Sunday was just relaxing. I went to Walmart to get some groceries, but other than that, I didn’t do much. Watched Notting Hill instead of the game, though I did pause the movie and flip to the game every so often to see how LSU was doing. Yay, they won. Should I be more excited for my alma mater? Eh…I didn’t care much about it while I was there – and I was there for a long time – so I don’t see why I should care now. Nevertheless, it’s pretty cool that they won.

Oh, and here’s a picture of my necklace that I’m finally uploading. It’s turned on its side a bit. Gorgeous, eh? Note: not actual size. Ha ha.
