July 1st & 2nd

I love it when the first of a month starts out awesome. Ah the word awesome feels delicious on this American's mind/tongue. Just, shiver. Ha, alright time to dive into what made this first so damn awesome.

It was Suzanne! My friends truly are important to me and make any day spent with them truly amazing. Today was another day of shopping though slightly different, we hit up Four Corners.

Four Corners is an outdoor strip mall of sorts partially in my town. Well two of the corners are in DG. The other two, one is in Darien the other in Woodridge. It is four corners that unite three suburbs. Real deep. In any case they have a BestBuy and a PartyCity. Dah real draw.

So as you all know I was recently a counselor for Wesley Woods camp and although I volunteer they still pay me one hundred dollars for the job. Doux. What does Mary love to do? Spend money on things she probably could live without. Do DVDs fall under that category? Naw, I can't live without a Blu-Ray DVD copy of the Hobbit. Or American Pie. Or Big Libowski. You see where I'm going with this. I walked out of BestBuy with seven movies that I simply adore. My movie collection needed them!

After that Suzy and I slipped into PartyCity which conveniently now is right next to BestBuy. It was here that we found these.

Such beauties.

I ended up buying a pair since I'm silly that way and because they will be perfect for LA. Yes later this month (the 17th actually) I'll be visiting my big brother out in Los Angeles. Should be epic. Back to today though. 

Later on Suzy and I returned to my house to watch a classic film. Anyone remember in my Spring blog when I watched Psycho? I do! So does Babe (my lil piggy). Well Suzy and I love Hitchcock and sorta have a thing for Norman Bates. We are strange (look above) and we're ok with that. Sides it is such an amazing film. If you've never seen it fix that error right away! Psycho is fantastic.

That sums up Monday rather nicely. For Tuesday. As I always say pictures are worth a thousand words. 

Spot the owl!

Heh, I wanted to "summer" up my hair a bit. I have to say I'm loving the added blonde bits just frames nicely.  That was the 2nd of July audience. And I have the entire month left to go.
