WADE!!!

I got spend a good chunk of my day with one of my BFFs, Wade. I haven't seen her since around my birthday in March. I had such a lovely day with her, and I also got to remember why I hate that she lives far away.

We went to Best Buy and wished that we could buy Rock Band. I know, again, that I'm a Johnny-come-lately here, but still, I can only imagine the amount of time I'd spend playing that game. Plus, on a couple of versions, there's a song by Garbage. We next visited the appliances. Here's where I know I'm getting old - omigod, I know I'll be dreaming of washers and dryers with settings I never knew existed.

We went next to Target, where she tried almost every sample, and we explored plate settings.

We later took pictures of me for my boy. He's been endlessly begging for recent pictures of me. So we did, and we learned that my camera eats batteries, and that some of those fuzzy shots are fabulous, and that my neighbor was willing to loan us his headlights for the photos. Mind you, he laughed his head off the entire time.

I hate that she lives so far away. Wow, I'd gotten so used to talking to her on the phone that I thought that was OK. Now, what I really really want is for her to move her family back here. Yeah, I know it won't happen, but a girl can dream, right?

For my in-town friends - we need to get together more often.
