...or the one with the fancy hats?

Today, I had to go to Wal-Mart twice.  Yesterday, when I was there goofing off with Amber, I could've dropped my car off for an oil change, since we were there so long.  Alas, I did not, so that was on today's agenda.  It only took about 40 minutes, though, so that's not too bad.  Unfortunately, during that time, I had to go to the bathroom.  I headed for the restroom in the Layaway section, but it was being cleaned.  CLEANED!  At 11:30 in the morning!  Whyyyyy?  So, I sucked it up and trudged to the front of the store.  As I rounded the corner, I found a single strip of clear packing tape hanging in front of the door with a sign that said

"We're sorry!  The Plumber is on the way!  Please use the restroom in Layaway."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Arg...it was awful.  The lady finally finished cleaning.  I also bought a Game Boy game holder (for original/Color/Advance/DS games) because I'm tired of them just lying out on the shelf.  Also, when Amber and I were finding things to hit each other with yesterday, we came across these neat little foam hats in the Crafts section.  Well, they aren't hats, they're visors.  They're $.79 and they have a flexible strap to go around your head.  It's not exactly the best...in fact, it's the spiral binding that you'd find in a binder.  The exact same plastic stuff.  I picked up a white one and colored it today for my mom, and I'll give it to her for Mother's Day.  The markers I had weren't working too well, though, since the foam quickly dried them all out.  I'm afraid I'll have to buy more markers now!  Arg!  Here's an unfinished picture:



I need to find a darker, but extremely thin black marker to retrace the letters.  Also, I can't say it's something I'd wear in public, so...the thought that counts, right?  I'm thinking about making one for myself with a big ol' D in the middle.  It'd be apropos, eh?  I was proud of myself on the "M"s that I did.  I've been copying fonts lately and trying to recreate them, since my creativity lies in other realms.  That, and that's how I work in Photoshop: I just play around with fonts until I find something that works.  Everything won't be so trite, right?

Right.

Tomorrow's my final!  Wish me luck!  Woo!
