Day Off Rambling
I don't know what to do with my day off. Normally I would take myself off to South Park Meadows or to the library or downtown or SOMEWHERE! But its way to fucking hot. Half the fun of walking around the shops of South Park Meadows is walking around the area. It has become my favorite place to while away the hours. Even when I have no money. Just strolling along trying on clothes and looking at all the things I want its kind of fun. I was never one for shopping but window shopping has become a new favorite past time. Most people would hate the frustration of finding items they love but unable to purchase them but I find that it gives me ideas for things I already have and goals to work towards. I might just go anyways but seriously triple digit heat is just not our friend and if I take along my nieces or my nephew the two little ones would begin to complain in no time at all. I would have to take Lizzie she enjoys whiling away the hours the same way but I feel a little guilty that I am always taking her but not Maddy and Josh but then again I can enjoy it in peace with out them. And seriously a four year old and six year old do not fully understand the no money to indulge our whims concept. Ahh well, I will have to decide soon because I want to leave before the whole house is awaken. Maybe I could just take Josh he might be better behaved if it is just me and him. Then again the trying on clothes part of the trip might not appeal to him either. Arrgghhh I just do not want to spend my whole day here at home. Sometimes on my days off I do not mind but other times I just want to get out and be doing something even if it is aimless. I am not the poster child for staying active far from it but since moving here I have become more so, even if it is just walking to the library. Which I might have to go to in order to print out the coupon for the batteries I feel I need. Target, Walmart, Dots, Hobby Lobby, TJ MAXX, Marshall's, Best Buy, Bath and Body Works, Ross, among other shops.
Or I can just stay home watch The Vampire Diaries, or a slew of movies, or read all day. I would go to Half-Price Books but I left my coupon at work and I don't want to shop without it. 15% is 15% and that means I could probably get an extra book or two if I stick to my 20 dollar budget. I do need new books but I don't feel like going to the job to pick up a coupon when I will be there tomorrow. At least I have Saturday off. So even if today is totally pointless and stuck at home day I can go Saturday. Or go again. I just wish this heat wave was over but alas they are calling for at least another week of triple digit weather. Not like we haven't had 17 days straight of it or over 40 days of it this summer. Yeah sometimes living in South Texas can really blow. Boo to the heat and humidity that just sucks every bit of moisture out of you and leaves you feeling all limp and useless after being out in it for any time at all. Seriously boo.
I need to also make workable but flexable itinerary too for Ney's visit. I could spend my day researching museums, concerts, restaurants and bars to entertain her and showcase my hometown as well as Austin. Yeah I could do that. But I seriously just don't want to be home today.
