windandwaterGeh... it was my mom's birthday today. Of course, this meant that we had to do whatever she wanted.
She wanted to go to church at 8 AM, but considering that my cousin didn't arrive until almost 2 AM, and I had to wait up to let her in the house, that idea was scrapped. Yay!
Of course, not so yay, because even though I stayed in bed until 10 AM, my mother insisted on playing music on the stereo system at around 8 or 9. I stayed as asleep as possible, but once ABBA started playing and I was called to breakfast, I had to leave the comforts of my room.
Breakfast was good. My mom made german chocolate muffin things. Yum.
Then it was announced that we were going out shopping. >_<;; Thus started the rush for everyone (well, the four females in the house, at least) to take showers and get dressed. I managed to finish before the water ran cold, but I totally cut myself on my razor. Damn razor.
Anyway, the day was pretty overcast and chilly, so I pulled on a long-sleeved shirt, since I have a tendency to be cold. And guess what happened?
No, guess.
We went to Palm Springs, where it was 93 degrees.
*throttles parents for not telling me these things*
So, the second I stepped out of the car, I was dying. It became my mission to find a different shirt (or hell, even a dress), but the one clothes store I could find was this trendy designer store, where the stuff on the clearance rack was priced $65.
*shudders*
Anyway, we went to P. F. Chang's for lunch (yay, air conditioning!), where we got a LOT of food that we managed to polish off. ph33r the Hungry Filipino Family s|<1llz. And we told the waiter that it was my mom's birthday, and she got a slice of cake! The women of the family all attacked it. *___* It was so yummy! And chocolatey! And they decorated the plate with strawberry sauce and cream, and had raspberries and strawberries in it. Sooooooo gooooood...
Anyway, after that I felt like I needed a nap. And it was even HOTTER when we left the restaurant, so I ducked into a Border's, which I think is always set to a temperature comparable to most refrigerators. I ogled the manga section. Of course. I'm predicatable.
After that, we were dragged into Bath and Body Works (rather willingly) by my cousin, who wanted to buy some stuff. Damn their sales! Damn them! My mother and I went on a splurge and bought some really nice lotions and soaps. And I got a very nice Cucumber Melon lotion. So nice! And I love the way it smells!
/girly crap
Okay, so we braved the heat yet again. My cousin and I paused at the Ben and Jerry's, but we were too full and I think we went pale at the thought of eating more.
^^;;
Anyway, when we got home, me and her both crashed. Hard. And didn't wake up until 8 PM, even though we went to sleep at 5.
Whoo!
Good food, good smelling things, and good naps.
It was a good day.
