So I finally have some time to blog about my last couple weekends.
The first weekend in august:
my mom and aunt came out to visit me in grand ole Brattleboro. My mom flew in from Wisconsin like a week before, and asked my aunt to drive her out so she can visit. Now, I thought for a long time on how I could entertain my mom and aunt in Vermont. Figuring that we are no where near stowe or Burlington, I had to find new things to do in this state. After a lot of investigating, I came to the realization that there really isn’t anything to do in this part of the state that isn’t athletic.
Knowing my family, I knew that I had to find another place to bring the two shoppaholics. So we went down to Northampton to walk around and get home made ice cream, and shop, and shop, and shop. Then we headed to the mall and hit up the jc penny sale to shop, and then ate some dinner.
Now when they were planning on coming out, my aunt, HAD to stay in a hotel that had a pool. Considering that we are in southern Vermont, there aren’t too many choices on what hotel they were going to at. So they get this hotel that I think is just a bit too expensive for Brattleboro… just a bit too expensive, so they can swim in the pool. Now how many times did they go swimming???? None, they didn’t ever touch the pool. Figures.
The second weekend in august:
It was so nice, that the next weekend a friend of mine from school drove all the way up from long island to come visit me. Since it was so darn hot that weekend, we ended up spending it in the mall down in Massachusetts. It has been a long time since I went to the mall just to walk around and window shop, also to go down to the mall with a gal pal to walk around and window shop. It totally brought me back to middle school, where that is what you did every weekend with your gal pals. I usually ended up buying crap from cheep stores, like a new headband that I didn’t need, or nail polish that when it dried it smelt like perfume, or magnetic earings that fell out and got lost after a couple hours of wearing them…. aaww middle school. now we just buy that expensive sweater we don’t need, or the new pair of earings for pierced ears, or that new pair of shoes you’ve been dieing to have…. Actually we still buy crap that we don’t need… and it is all way more expensive than when we were in middle school too.
