Fabulous niece Sarah and I are having a fine time. She's only been here a couple of days, but we've been so very very busy it seems like longer!
Thursday was just an insane day of moving stuff around; Dennis' grandparents are moving and they offered us their gas grill and a big ol' leather barcolounger, so I got some hired teenage muscle from St. Ned's and went to get that. The chair is perfectly broken in and I predict that there will be naps taken in it.
Sarah started the new Harry Potter on the plane out here and finished it in the car yesterday. We drove down to the outlets in Freaking Gilroy to do some school-related shopping. I got a very silly purse for $12 at the Banana Republic outlet. It's green and matches my car and has enough room for a smallish portable knitting project. I also got a Chococat tape dispenser for my desk at work from the half-price Sanrio store. I'm hoping it will keep my tape from being stolen all the time.
This morning we are going to go see Dennis on his last Saturday at the record barn. He traded in a bunch of CDs yesterday and gave Sarah the $75 trade slip, so there will be shopping. I'm glad that some CDs left our place, although I'm sure there are many many more new ones waiting in the PO box. He is making good progress on packing up all the music here. I'm not touching it, since I don't know how the system of piles works. There's stuff to be reviewed, stuff for the next review column, people he wants to talk to, etc. etc. etc. One of the first tasks when we start setting up the new place will be figuring out where the piles are going to go.
Anyway, after we finish amusing ourselves in Berkeley, we're going to go hang out at Ryan's, and she's going to show us how to make icing flowers and we're going to watch a bunch of MST3K and relax a bit. Tomorrow is the Monterey Aquarium and a Hookslide show, and Monday we're going to Santa Cruz. She goes back to Michigan on Tuesday, and then the long tedious moving process begins.
