So this morning I decided to brave the Houston roads and take Corwin to the library for story time and then to the park next door to play ( Read more... )

So we went back to the mall and shopped for me and I got three pairs of jeans, a clearance-priced purple sweater for next winter, a dress to wear to asharperfocus' wedding, and a bra to go with said dress. I tried to buy a bathing suit, but the department store options just weren't going to work for me. I want a one-piece, and I am going to have to have a ( Read more... )

beckyboo83 came to visit me on Thursday and is heading back to Austin today. We took yesterday and made it a "shop 'til you drop" kinda day.

And of course I don't have the receipt for the hard drive 'cause it was purchased in 2006, and I threw out the 2006 receipts when it turned out we didn't need them as support for our 2006 federal tax return ( Read more... )
