all was right in the world of wheat and duck

hope came...and she left.
but we had loads of fun- wore ourselves out actually, which is how it should be. i didn't want her to come here and be bored.
we went shopping A LOT!, going a couple places that we couldn't with our boys, like the Dish Barn. sounds corny but it was so cool. yeah, corey or sam wouldn't have went in there with us. there's a lot of christmas presents i want in there.
so we shopped, we baked donuts, we cooked stir fry, ate dippin dots, watched the Bee Movie, ate Panera (Hope's first time!), watched our movie the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (a movie corey would not watch with me. We also went grocery shopping, had gourmet hot chocolate and fell asleep and woke up to Friends. It was all fun, but put Hope and me together and the mundane (i.e. grocery shopping) becomes excellent fun.
it was super sad when she left. we procrasted by going out for lunch before she got on the road and after that i was lonely so i got a new friend. it's called a fittonia, which means 'striped forever' and it's so pretty. if i get a new plant everytime something happens in my life, whether i'm celebrating a new job, my first photography sell, or bumming about a friend leaving or corey being away or missing the fam, my apartment's gonna be a jungle. and that's okay. :)
but the weekend was great beside the last few hours of loneliness. fun times, i loved being with hopie and it felt like my life was back to normal with her here. i can't wait till the horrorfest of nov. 08 takes corey away and brings hope back. ;)
