It was a fun game because the next game will probably end up with our character's getting their asses kicked. Aldain's (Berek's character) underwear was stolen by a deranged sugar glider while he was wearing it under full plate armor. We also had some time negotiating with a Medusa who's trying to strike up a truce between his boss and our group. Not gonna happen. Anyhoo, game was fun and I think we're ready to go for the next big game. This morning Rob and I got up early so that we could be ready when AAA got here. The AAA guy came in a regular truck which easily made it down into our garage. He had a hand held car jumper which he was able to just walk over to the front of my car so we didn't have to worry about moving the car at all. Nice. The car started once it was jumped and we immediatly took it over to Lexus. I swear, that Lexus dealer never ceases to amaze me. We waited for the car (in their lounge room with free bottled water, sodas, orange juice, gormet coffee and teas, brownies, and popcorn) and it only took about a half an hour (we were quoted about an hour wait time). While we were waiting for the car I got the batteries changed out in my keys (they have a remote entry system and one was dead and the other was almost dead). The battery in my car was replaced because after testing it they found it couldn't hold a charge. Even after a half hour of driving it there after the jump they had to jump it again because the battery was dead again. So, the battery was replaced. They couldn't see if there was something draining it, so I'm instructed to try it tomorrow and see if it turns on. If so, it was the old battery. If not, there's also a drain coming from somewhere and the car will have to be jumped again and taken back to Lexus at some point. I hope it was just the old battery and that this is all over and done with. Once my car was done I drove it around for half an hour and we headed back home. We chilled out for a bit and then headed out (in Rob's car because we didn't want to be stuck somewhere if there is a drain). Our first stop was for lunch at In N Out. Okay, in my interview with Nobody I forgot to mention that In N Out is definitely one of the very good things about LA. After lunch we headed out to the Inland area (LaVerne, Montclair, etc.). We made a stop off at LionHeart for some of the new D&D minis and to see if Lenny was able to order something I had been looking to get for a friend's up-coming birthday. Unfortunately it's super back-ordered so I won't be able to get it in time. While there I waved hi to Marcelo (Kat's husband), but didn't want to bother him since he was in the middle of a game. After LionHeart we made a brief stop for gas and a drive through car wash for Rob's car and then headed to the Montclair Plaza mall. While there I was able to pick up a few cute things for that up-coming birthday I mentioned in the prior paragraph. We also made a stop in Bath and Body works for some Wallflower plug-ins (we're out), new bath poufs, and a gift card for PK (the woman who did the blood draw for me for the DNA test). Now I'm going to need to get PK's addy from my Mom. When we were done with the mall we headed to dinner at Baker's Square. Very yummy. We then made our way back home with a quick stop at The Game Zone (they had the large tube of plushie dice that we wanted to get for Kaylea) and a stop at the grocery store. After putting away all of our purchases and the groceries we passed out. From 9pm until 11pm we slept. I was tired to the point where I couldn't keep my eyes open or stay awake in the grocery store. At 11pm we got up and watched some TV. Now Rob's making some bacon and eggs while I quickly get some online things done for the day. We have no set plans for tomorrow so that means it's time to sleep in! ----------
