What I did today
Barring the whole debacle I've been having with James today, it's been a pretty good day!

The weather sucked, so the group plan to go to the beach went down the drain. Ville-Matti and I just went by ourselves to Point Pleasant.

We ate at Subway (he's never been!), and walked on the beach for a while and took pictures. (He's traumatized by some ocean-eaten plastic cup that I didn't get a good look at.) The water was really cold and we made it a game of seeing how close we could get before the waves came in. We ran repeatedly from the waves, and I got my feet wet a couple times. (And I took off my shoes for a bit -- THAT was a mistake. Waaaay too cold!)

Then we got back in the car, got gas and directions, and headed off for Freehold in pursuit of the mall. We got terribly lost, but ended up on Freehold Borough Main street, where we entered the lair of the Monmouth County Republican Headquarters. I met some sort of senator, and the first women sheriff of Monmouth County. (I talked about law school and political science with her.) It was interesting, pretending to be an independent, and trying to be bipartisan. XD

We visited a couple other shops, and I got a piggy back ride from V. I overheard a woman asking a cop for directions to the Freehold Mall, so then I proceeded to ask the cop the same directions. Apparently all we had to do was go straight!

SO we went to the mall, and met Steph Rosato there -- serendipity! How conincidental, ne?

We walked around in the mall for a bit, overheard a family speaking Swedish, visited Nordstroms b/c V said it was a Swedish name, and had dinner there. We had a lovely time trying to find the way back to Rt. 195 West, and I finally got help from the lovely young man working as a cashier at Bobs, who was more helpful than the people I asked in the mall who are paid to be helpful.

I dropped V off, and came back here, missed Working (oh well?), and have been chilling ever since! ^^;

It was a pretty good day, and we got some cool pictures, so yay!
