Happy Birthday
Aug. 24th, 2008 08:59 pmWell! We finally moved on to the Happy part of the Happy Birthday. We went to Lowe's to get one of my presents (DO NOT LAUGH! There are lots of good things at Lowe's) and went from there to Chili's, where I began the wine portion of the evening. Finally, the migraine completely went away. I should have had Chili's Molten Chocolate Cake and a couple of glasses of wine for breakfast.
Over all, it's been a good birthday. Started a little melancholy, what with the dregs of Faye dripping through here, and all. But improved.
Thomas and I went to the Aquarium Shop and bought 7 new fish, including 2 pair of guppies. Beloved gave me an excellent big mug from the Shenandoah National Park, and a snowman ornament (snowpeople are something of a weakness of mine, having never lived anywhere where there was enough snow to make one, with the exception of one winter in Cincinnati) and I hung him from the mantle (the snowguy, not Mark). The snowpeople are allowed to stay out year 'round.

Too much Christmas Spirit
Dec. 16th, 2007 07:20 pmThe boy and I stopped at Rite Aid last night on the way home from his violin practice. Just went in to get a prescription and some batteries. Paid for the prescription at the pharmacy. Thomas noticed that Dr. Peppers were on a great sale, so we had to get a cart to put them in. THAT was the beginning of the end. By the time we found batteries, several aisles later, we had a substantial quantity of last minute Christmas goodies, wrapping paper, etc. We put it on the check out, and it came to $106!! of JUNK at Rite Aid! Thomas said, "well geez mom, you've probably got $25 worth of just assorted chocolate."
