Hot Child In The City
Nope. Not this time.
Little A was invited to go to New York with her best friend and, apparantly, the coolest dad in the world. Yeah, M's dad spoils M to no end. It's beyond ridiculous. After Philip and I thought about it a bit, we were really stuck in that limbo of "it would be a great experience"/"she'll be gone 2 weeks without us or Big A for comfort if something goes wrong"...and more. Thank goodness Little A solved the dilemma. She's decided she doesn't want to be away from home for 2 whole weeks.
Big A is out tonight for her first real "test" of curfew. Philip will probably be really pissed at me for setting curfew at midnight, rather than 11pm. She's going to a cookout where most of her closest friends will be. There will be parental supervision - no drinking, drugs, sex, etc. - the whole evening. The mom is a bit miffed at Big A for a minor (okay, MAJOR) incident, last year, so the mom will probably be watching her like a hawk, anyway. This "test" is the first time where Big A is required to be home on time, no exceptions. Well, car accident (God forbid!) or car trouble (better frickin not be as it's MY car!) would be the only exceptions. I hope the evening goes without incident.
I would have pictures of the beach to show you, except all those pics were taken with Little A's camera and guess where her camera is? With her, of course. She'll be home from her friend's (this is a pre-New York visit) sometime tomorrow. I better get a frickin camera for my birthday or Christmas, this year! I'm losing it, I tell ya. You know I love[d my camera] more than my luggage! (guess that reference and I'll put a special link for you in my next post) For now, I'll tease you with some (stolen) shots of some of the shopping spots we hit...for the whole 2 hours we got to shop:
Remember Rose's? Morehead City still has one! I ended up there trying to find a t-shirt to replace the one that got ruined on our trip over (whole new story in its own...I won't bore you with that one) because I was too cheap to pay $20 for another Atlantic Beach, NC t-shirt. I think I have a dozen between myself and Philip's stash of t's.
Yeah, we had to go to Wally World for a few necessities we forgot to pack - like shampoo. Why doesn't my mother have shampoo in the second bathroom, yet?!
Speaking of...their place is up and running. The porches & decks are on and it really is pretty. She's still puttering around, decorating this that and the other. Knowing Mama, she'll never get it "just so". That's cool, though. I'll have to remember to tell you guys about the conversation we had with my dad about inviting company...it's a doozy. I'll have to do that one day when I'm not still pissed at his inuendos.
I'm off to find a display case, as I've got about 20 - 25 pieces I'm ready to showcase!
