We've had a shop-til-we-drop Saturday thus far. First stop, after the post office, was Toys-r-Us to snag birthday gifts for our neices. They're getting a Fischer Price "My First Dollhouse" plus "Grandma with baby carriage" and "Baby's bedroom furniture". I'm so excited for them! Next up was Tarzhay for toiletries and some household things.

Then, the main target for our shopping: Lowe's. We now have a gallon of exterior latex paint in the most gorgeous shade of royal blue -- not that there's a bad shade of blue -- called "Planetarium". Oh my goodness, this is going to be gorgeous on the tent. I also picked up some new brushes, tarps, and other paraphrenalia. We also found poles for the dayshade uprights and ridge, a metal sleeve for the ridge, and boards and a pole for a clothing rack for Pennsic. Of the wood and whatnot, we brought home only the sleeve and clothing rack pole; we'll go back in the Jeep so the long boards and poles can go on the roof rack.

Last stop was Eastern Mountain Sports to see if they carry Canvak. No dice, but Hubbyfink did get a cute pair of cargo pants on clearance. So, not a total loss.

When we're not spending money like we have some, we're cooperatively killing zombies (and being killed many, many times) in Left 4 Dead. We're having fun, but I can't say this is my favorite game. I want to stop and explore, but that gets you eaten. So, we run for it and shot anything that moves including party members occassionally.

Left4Dead becomes better by an order of magnitude when you play online :) The recently added "Survival Mode" is a very white-knuckle experience.

I've been playing since November of last year, and it's still my favorite. Last night's Versus games were still hilarious... I love playing tank :)

Make sure you're in a very well ventilated area when you use the Canvak!! I can't wait to see this dayshade. It sounds stunningly gorgeous.
