Since we drove across town to a different Ford dealership and we were near the Lakeland corridor (tons of great retail, including a new Hobby Lobby opening in the next month, yeah!), I begged and pleaded with Tim for a chance to stop at the Target out there. It’s so much bigger and nicer than the one by our house, and the scrapbook aisle is twice the size! They had just opened a new Best Buy about three door fronts down from the Target, so Tim headed to Best Buy and I got to go to Target and peruse the scrapbook aisle to my hearts content. I picked up 3 $1 document boxes to store some scrapbook foam stamps in, a makeup thingie on sale, and some scrapbook stuff. They had a bunch of patriotic stuff that I had seen a month or so earlier that they didn’t have at my store. I want to try to start work on my pages from DC when the pictures arrive in my mailbox from Snapfish, so I wanted some new papers and toys to play with.

After Target, I walked over to Best Buy and Tim and I browsed a bit longer. Then, we realized Chris and Elizabeth would be over soon, and so we headed out. We stopped at Kroger to pick up some dip and cokes for snacking on before the pizza arrived, and I also picked up some necessities while I was there (fruit, veggies, salad, milk, etc). We also stopped in and rented “Million Dollar Baby” with one of the last of my free rental coupons.
We got home just a few minutes before Chris and Liz got to our house. Elizabeth brought the rest of her laundry, and they brought back our Scene-It DVD game they had borrowed. We ordered 2 pizzas from Papa Johns and hung out till it got there. I must stop here and commend our local Papa Johns on their speedy service. I called at 6:15 to order pizza and the guy on the phone said 45 min-1 hour, which is very reasonable for a Saturday night. Less than 25 minutes later, the delivery guy was banging on our front door with two piping hot delicious pizzas. Way to go Papa Johns!
We ate dip, snack mix and then pizza, and played Liverpool (rummy card game, similar to Phase 10 that everyone seemed familiar with but me!) and then two games of Scene It. I must stop here and point out that Elizabeth beat the pants off the rest of us in Liverpool. She won 6 out of 7 hands, which Tim and I think is the best we’ve ever seen. I know I’ve been playing this game off and on with Tim for about 10 years now, and I don’t think anyone has ever won that many hands out of a game. Way to go Liz. Although, now that I think about it, I really don’t like losing that bad, so on second thought, we may not play that game again with you! hahaha, just kidding. We picked at Elizabeth a lot about it, but I think she knows we were just kidding!
Then, Chris and Liz teamed up and pretty much beat the pants off of Tim and I in Scene-It. They pounded us, truly. We played a second time and barely, just barely, won on the last chance in Final Cut. They allowed us to save only a tiny shred of our dignity with all of these games. Oh well, it was a barrel of fun and we hope they can come back again soon and give us a chance to redeem ourselves!
All in all, we had a really great day, and night.
OK, for those of you who care about these things, here’s the aforementioned picture of all the scrapbook stuff I scored at Target:
I know, that delivery was pretty amazing. I was surprised but delighted to have it there that fast! Can’t wait to stomp ya’ll again in Liverpool!
