Exceedingly Mundane

Wow, it’s almost 10 PM and this is the first time I have had a chance all day to sit down and check my email and try to blog. Well, other than the few minutes this morning, when I did the trivia on Hambones. I wanted to get yesterday’s answers posted and new questions up before I left.

I was gone almost all day today, and am fairly worn out. It was a good day though!

The Highlights – went shopping with Gail most of the day. I had a blast! It’s so nice to go shopping with someone else sometime (no offense Tim, I know how much you hate to go clothes shopping with me, which is why I try not to drag you much 🙂 ) It helps me to have other people see the clothes I try on, and say “that looks good on you, or that doesn’t look good, or that doesn’t look like it fits, or whatever”. I’m so indecisive and every little bit helps, plus it’s just more fun to go shopping with someone else! 😀 We went to Linens-N-Things, Target, Steinmart, Kohls, 2 shoe stores, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Whew! We also stopped in at McAlisters for lunch (had a turkey melt and fruit, it was de-licious!) I got clothes at Steinmart (2 shirts and some cute pink and green flip flops), then I hit the mother lode at Kohl’s. They were having a one day sale, plus I had my handy-dandy gift card that came in the mail to use. So I bought a bunch of shirts there. Who’s counting, but I think it was 6! 😀 I got more stuff for our bathroom at Marshalls and BB&B (a different kind of roman shade, new towels, and some wicker stuff).

Gail left while I was checking out in BB&B, and Tim called, to say he was leaving work. It was 5 PM and we had shopped all day! He offered to take me out to eat, so since I’m not one to refuse a free meal out, I gladly accepted. We tried the new Garfield’s that opened last week by Sam’s, and it was good. I had the mandarin chicken salad and Tim had the chicken quesadilla salad. We went to Sam’s after supper, and got a few things on my list, and also several things for Fred. Then, we went to Circuit City and bought several movies (2 for $15 this week). We barely made it home in time to watch Survivor! 🙂

I’m pretty wiped out, and will be headed to bed shortly. Poor Tim. They were on the conference call last night for a while, and finally, after an hour and a half, they put their project on hold till tonight. So, he has to get back on starting at 11 PM and try to implement their code tonight. I hope it goes smoothly for him this time.

I am still not feeling great. I blogged yesterday that my head was killing me, and I thought it was from not having caffeine. I had a glass of tea last night with supper, and some sweet tea at McAlister’s today at lunch (they have the best sweet tea), but I still have a headache. Scratchy throat, too, so I guess it’s sinus or something. Ick. Go away, whatever you are. Maybe a good night’s sleep and less shopping tomorrow will make you disappear, whatever you are.
