This has been a pretty uneventful weekend. I trekked out to my aunt and uncle's place in central Mass to celebrate my grandmother's 84th birthday (which is today). I went to Konditor Meister earlier in the day to pick up the most delicious carrot cake I have ever tasted. My aunt made me take the rest home (evil) so I brought it to my downstairs neighbors (also evil).

This afternoon, Jen and I braved the mall because she needed some new shirts for work. Most of the shirts she's been wearing week in and week out are not my favorites and I don't find them terribly professional... so we got her three shirts and two pairs of pants. And then she conned me into getting a shirt, a skirt, and a pair of dress pants on clearance at Filene's Basement. And Sims 2!

I started playing Sims 2 but holy cow, it's a lot more complicated and uses a LOT more resources (memory and battery). It's going to be a lot of fun, though! I'm not 100% on all of the changes but I'm sure I'll be spending some time figuring it out.

We were going to catch a movie with Marti Maraschino but the one movie Marti and I both wanted to see (Quincenera) was only playing at 10pm. So, no.

It's COLD tonight - rainy and damp and bitter. I made grilled cheese sandwiches and vegetable soup for dinner. We are SO six years old in the fall - school shopping and grilled cheese!

My grandparents are quite possibly the cutest people in the history of the planet.

I remember when I was in high school my grandparents came to visit and we were walking around I remember them holding hands and thinking I wanted to be in love like then when I'm their age.

Dude, totally. I want to have a 64th anniversary, too!

They are totally cute. =)

Miss you, too.

I'm not 100% on the Sims changes, either, but you get used to them after a while. Let me know what you think once you've gotten used to it.

And for something funny, let someone's social get down to zero sometime. It's pretty amusing.

I'm starting to get the hang of it but it's so different that it's kind of overstimulating. The bigger people help with the overstimulation, too. I like the changes, though, especially the aspirations. I haven't really played enough to really see the benefits, but I'm looking forward to it. :)

My grandpa and John Waters are two of the coolest men ever.
