Morning
I woke up at 8am this morning and out of pure laziness decided not to go walking. I got up and ready for the day though without any idea what I was going to do.
Ingrid was up by the time I was and asked if I wanted to go to Desert Graphics with her. She had some things to finish first so I took my shower and got ready. When I was ready she was off the computer but still not completely ready so I wanted to get online quickly before we left to send an e-mail.
Around 10:30 we were both ready so we headed out.
Around Town
First stop was the bank so she could get some money out. She had forgotten her debit card at home and had to take money out of her savings to get by while she was here. After that we went home because she realized she had forgotten her ID and would need it.
From there we headed to Desert Graphics. Ingrid has wanted to go there for a while to pick up High School logo t-shirts. I want one too for running the lake. Well they had two designs I liked but neither in my size. The lady we talked with seemed knowledgeable about the printing but wasn’t very clear. From what we could discern I would have to come back in four days to get the size shirt I wanted. That was fine with me, perhaps I could talk myself out of it by then.
The next stop was at a store called Elements, which is right next to Michaels on the Lake. This is one of those stores that has lots of interior design things. We spent quite possibly an hour there just looking around. I ultimately found and bought some fake glass ice cubes to put in some of my coke glasses. Ingrid fount a vase to her liking and purchased it as well.
The guy ringing us up had a cast on his arm and Ingrid asked how bad it was. He said it was 4 pins and a plate (that’s bad!). Ingrid said there must at least be an interesting story behind it. The guy said yes but only he knew. With that we headed out.
Ingrid asked if I wanted to join her for a Bloody Mary at Michael’s. Of course I wont get the Bloody Mary but I would join her. Though I did briefly consider getting a vodka cranberry and cranberry juice. I ultimately ended up with a diet soda.
We sat and talked for a while. I tried not to watch the Olympics on the TV over the bar and then tried not to watch Days of Our Lives. Though I couldn’t help but be amused by one particular guy whose face never seems to change through the whole episode. We had fun making fun of him (the expression didn’t change even when he had to perform CPR). :D
After the drinks we headed out again. This time we stopped at the Dairy Mart to pick up some milk. I was really hungry so I wandered around to see if there was something to eat. I found some Cojita cheese and picked up a small package of it as well as some tortillas. Then we headed home.
The Afternoon
Once we got home Mom was back and ready to go out as well. So after eating some food as a makeshift lunch we turned around and headed to Wal Mart. Apparently they are “remodeling” to make the store less like a warehouse and more like a Target. I was not impressed as it just looks like a mess to me. -_- We picked up a few things across the store and looked for clothes for K-dog. After that we picked up groceries and some other stuff before heading out.
I commented that mom’s car was really dirty so we ended up going through the car wash as well before heading home. In this car wash there are people who dry off the car with micro fiber towels as the last section before you leave. The guy doing the drying was a younger kid and Ingrid was totally being kid like in the back seat. When he finished she said “Good-bye” in a kid like voice and waved. He waved back but it caused him to drop his towel. That was fairly amusing to us for some time. :D I also commented that you could tell the story without mentioning that he was drying the car and it might have an altogether different meaning. ^_^
Evening
Once we got back I spent time attempting to write more on my blog for Saturday. I would start and then start to fall asleep. It didn’t help that I was stationed in the bedroom on the bed. Eventually I just gave up and took a nap before dinner.
Dinner was hamburgers and hot dogs barbequed by Ingrid. We all sat outside in the nice warm evening air and had dinner. It was a nice night and dinner was good so it was very enjoyable. I even got to see Jupiter (I know that was the right planet this time). ^_^
Ingrid was getting herself ready to go the next morning as well which included sending her son over to see his dad one last time. Some family drama ensued which included Diana wanting Ingrid to suddenly be able to take back an entire computer and desk along with Drake (Silver’s older son). Diana’s reasoning was that Drake didn’t need to go. Long story short most of the computer is still here but Diana doesn’t know that. ^_^ Butt-dan was upset but I would hope he could understand the predicament. Diana should have planned to either take it here herself or have it shipped. The assumption that Ingrid just could take it because was asinine.
Bed Time
After dinner I wanted to write some more but didn’t even get the computer turned on before deciding it was a lost cause. At least the a/c is working fine so the two fans in the bedroom keep me nice and cool. ^_^
