Quite a weekend

Woo-
What a weekend.
I was jammed packed with things to do. I mean I saw a movie, granted it was a rental, but from 2008.
"Baby Mama," starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is freaking wonderful. This movie reflects the hopes and dreams of any two best friends. Basically I mean that if you took your very best friend, wrote a crazy script and got to work with them for 3 months, this is probably what it would look like--give or take a plot line.

So Jeffrey, Sarah FF and I all crammed into my tiny room, on my tiny futon and enjoyed the movie.
We did stop at 10 PM for Sarah Palin PART DEUX. Charlie Gibson once again blew our brains all over our faces with his balls to the wall style interviews. She has really shown her politician side...and let us all know that she can see Russia from her house and most likely, also her sea plane.

After ranting and raving about the SP for a while...we finished the movie. Bonded, had a few laughs.

Saturday was a blast! Jeff and I went to Wilmington, the city of my birth (aka the reason everything is so awesome), and joined the Festivo Hispano! There were about 20 people there when we arrived with Jeff's class, so then there were 30.
It was fun! We walked around for about 5 mins, then just joked with his teacher and classmates. The music was good and there were Flaminco dancers and food. When we left, we decided to go to the Christiana mall.
Now I have been to the Christiana mall more times than I can count, but this visit topped them all. When we were exiting JCPenny's (Jeff's FAVORITE store), a cop stopped us at the mall entrance. I held my bag open thinking he was checking for stolen items, or randomly like in NYC, but NO! He asked to see our ID's, and when I customarily asked "why" he said "no one under 18 is permitted without a 21 year old escort." WHAT?!
Jeff pulled out his ID and before I could get to mine the cop said "Oh, you're okay. I don't need to see it now that you have an escort."
So basically due to this ridiculous rule, I was put down like a little girl (NOT OKAY) and then patronized further (ALSO NOT OKAY).
I called my Aunt Adi to find out what's up with this rule and she told me that it was due to children loitering.

This brings me to the next point... Where are the loitering children's parents? This mall is not easily accessible. Anyway, I think it's probably not completely kosher, but whatever...gotta pick your battles.

Saturday night, of course, involved SNL, but we all know how that went (if not check my previous blogs).

Sunday was also eventful.
Still reeling from my SNL fever, I woke up pleasantly and did some work.
That afternoon Jeff and I went to Toys R Us, were harrassed and yet really had a good time.
We also attended a birthday party. The little girl I babysit turns 2 today, and we were assisting her with bringing home the fun.
I got her a giant bowling set, it's pretty much my dreams being made into realities, again, but we were pretty stoked.
There were kids running around, cupcakes (LOTS of sugar) and conversation. It was quite a time.
I'm pretty sure Julia has a bit of a party hangover today. She crashed at 1230 for her nap...a good birthday...I think so.

So now I must retreat to a book or maybe some work for my internship...who knows!?
