Yes, I just got back from more SHOPPING. Today, it was Lakeside. I actually bought those Sketchers shoes today (didn't have enough money yesterday and was going to buy them later in the week but they had 'em at JC Penny, so I did).

Thursday night was sad and yet happy too. It proved just how dependent we are on things like electricity... I needed my little portable, battery-operated TV to see the news (or radio) and yes, I missed my computer. But all that was made up for by the stargazing! Wootness!
