My weekend (and weekday, counting today) has been busy, busy, busy...

Saturday: Had my piano recital at 1:30 in the afternoon. I was scared to pieces, but it went rather well. :) Maybe sometime I'll post the video my dad taped of me on here...
Sunday: My mom and I hosted a bridal shower for my brother's fiance. It was a really nice shower; we made it a tea party (hats and all, although no one really wore a hat...). There weren't very many people (no more than 20), but it was nice because it was small. Cozy. ;) (Oh yes, and the wedding's June 5. We're all pretty excited.)
Today (Monday): Spent about 6 or 7 hours driving to different malls with my mom, shopping. She was looking for a mother-of-the-groom dress for the wedding; and I convinced her to drop me off at Half-Price Books while she checked out JC Penney's and Sears!! I was so pumped. :D I promised myself I wouldn't go over my budget (I was carrying about $20, so that was my limit), but of course I ended up having to borrow money from Mom when she came and picked me up. ;D So here's what I got:

a Rebecca St. James CD (called Transform, and it has two of my favorite of her songs on it, so I was pretty happy.)
The Tolkien Companion -- I don't remember who it's by, but it's a really cool book, almost like a Tolkien dictionary...(and the cover looks really awesome)
Hood (Book 1 of the King Raven Trilogy) -- Stephen R. Lawhead
Dragon Rider -- Cornelia Funke
The Thief Lord -- Cornelia Funke
Auralia's Colors -- Jeffrey Overstreet (I actually haven't read it, but I've been wanting to and it looks really good. ;D)

Also, while browsing around Best Buy (Mom was in a different JC Penney's at that point), I found Brisingr by Christopher Paolini! Leave it to me to go into an electronics store and come out with a book. ;D It was 25% off, so that made me happy; and I was even happier to find out that it was even cheaper than I expected it to be!

So all in all, I think I made out pretty good. ;)

How was your weekend?
