Wow, what a Wednesday...
Wednesday:
was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day. once again I did not go to the gym, but thats because i made a mistake. we got the option of a free carpet cleaning with our renewal because we've been tennents here for a good long while. so we had to wake up early and vacate the house, and not return for hours.
so we got up, headed to staples, examined some desks, picked up a lap thing for my laptop, a gamecube controller shaped calculator for katrina and some velcros to put this new dr. who poster up in her room.
then off to walmart. rick finally got some new jeans and shorts, we picked up the "princess and the frog" and another new sheet set for our new bed.
it was still early, so away down to Barnes and Nobles we went. kat remembered that a few visits ago there had been a plastic clock with moving hands she really wanted. so she beelined for it and i figured, what the heck. its a toy and it teaches. so we picked it up and a gift card for myself.
on our way out, i found out one of my artists worked there! i definitly recognized her, but couldn't place her name. Cat from C'lay la Vie :D she's part of a partnership in the group. cool stuff.
finally, it was 11 o'clock, and there we went to Bugaboo for breakfast. yummy good food! and kat had a good time too. finally, it was after noon and we headed back to the house. the carpet was very clean but still a little wet. so then we went outside to play
we took her bicycle with us and though we've had it since last summer, this was the first time she'd gotten to ride it (i'd wanted to clean it up and present it to her at her birthday, and then that didn't work out the way it was supposed to, and the weather after that was no good.
she picked A LOT of dandelions while out as well, but put them down and got involved with something else. a couple of boys who insisted i was cody's mom, whoever that is, started playing with them and they got scattered about, so she wound up only bringing in one of her dandelions which daddy then put into water.
when it was bedtime, she suddenly starts going on about purple flowers. she wants her purple flowers she picked. MOMMY knows.
when we finally figured out she was talking about the lavender from last summer and that we don't have it anymore she was sobbing uncontrollably, and i promised her we'd get some new 'flowers' (specifically not specific) sometime. and she was insisting that it had to be with aunt kerry, and uncle robert and grandma yia yia and kourtney....that's about all i got out of her while she sobbed and i tried to explain i didn't know who would be going with us or when we would be going.
all in all, a jam-packed and wonderful day
even counting that my Nook temporarily stopped working (it's working now, and i've spent all my gift cards already. i need more B&N money! LOL)
and even counting that i was so exhausted i was making myself sick at work trying to stay awake and had to come home early....
