Girls Talk - HaHa Hah! Books

Another week where I scratch my head and think....when did I last have those?

The only funny reads that I lay my hands on are my Archie comic books...and I have a ton of them.

There are 3 more boxes like this in our house....full of comic books

I don't know what it is with this redheaded boy and his gang that has addicted me throughout my adolescent life and well into my twenties. I rarely missed an issue during those times. My husband was even jealous because I was spending too much time with Mr. Andrews and Mr. Jones and their antics.

I actually only stopped buying the comic books because they became too expensive (they are imported into South Africa, you see, and the import duties are hell). And I guess I realised I was growing old to be hanging out with 17-year-olds.... :-(

So I have passed on my museum collection of comic books to my daughters. And hope they enjoy the Archie gang as much as I did.

Don't know if comic books count but this is my entry for this week's Girls Talk.

A Rodriguez Girls' Day Out

And it would have extended to a girls’ night out as well if it was up to me but I’m sure hubby would have had something to say about it.

You see, hubby was naughty and so we decided to be naughtier. Hubby ventured on a day off of his own and so the naughty Rodriguez girls sneaked out as well.

Girls’ day out with a big emphasis on girls – 2 girls by age and me by (in)sanity.

We started our celebration with a very late lunch at around 2pm. I was sooooo hungry. My eldest kept me waiting for almost an hour while she beautified herself. I had to resort to washing dishes whilst waiting. Anyway, once at the restaurant (Texamo Spur at The Glen), we quickly made our orders. My eldest was unimpressed that she was given the same menu as my youngest – the one for 12 years and younger. Ppffft!

After we finished eating, we went to buy our movie tickets at the counter. We decided before leaving the house that today was the day we meet Aang, the last airbender (see blog Moviegoer's Review on The Last Airbender). We get to the counter and proceeded to buy the tickets. We were asked to choose our seats. My eldest tells me that the best seats in the house are the ones where when you sit back, you don’t see the black edges on the side (Really warped? Is this even my child?). Unfortunately, those “best” seats were already taken. So we chose the seats behind them. Almost missed it but it was another moment where my eldest was trying to teach me to be “uber cool”....again. (Missed the first time? See blog ETC Goes HTC)

We had an hour and a half to kill after that so we decided to explore the mall more. We shopped….with our eyes.

Went into the movies (if you haven’t, see blog Moviegoer's Review on The Last Airbender. Ain’t repeating it here now, LOL).

It was 7pm when we left the cinema. Twas definitely a good excursion of 5 hours.

Got home and woke hubby up to tell him what he missed. Bleh!
