Fun, fun day ! Beloved Hubby
had to work this morning, but came home by lunchtime. Just in time to help
Dearest Son set up his ‘new’ computer ! Yes, the one he’s wanted for months
came in today – the keyboard and mouse arrived yesterday, his big, huge monitor’s
due Tuesday – and he was happy beyond words. Dearest wanted to brag, as he can
set up and break down a system by himself in seconds, but Beloved understood. After
helping changing his truck’s oil, I made lunch plates of yesterday’s leftover
gyros – so delicious we ordered extra so we’d have leftovers ! – and we completed arrangements for Dearest Son to
visit his grandparents for the afternoon, since his Thursday visit was
cancelled. He had lots of bragging to do ! I’d drop him off, go on my Shopping
Odyssey ™ and pick him up when he / they were ready, go back out if I wanted
to. Sounded good to me ! It was great to see M & FIL happy and doing well
in their new place.
Then I spent money like it
was gonna catch fire tomorrow, and I don’t remember half of what I bought. Suffice
to say that, once all my purchases hit my checking account, there’ll be 43¢
left. This is not unusual. I’m just happy it’s still a positive number ! I
think some of my embroidery designs will have to wait ‘til the first of the
month, which is fine with me, I haven’t used most of the last ones I’ve bought.
But I got my Fiskars pinking shears, a pack of several generic scissors, half a
yard of shirred MLP fabric, some
black and gold netting material, Sweet
Screams Ghoulia, a kitty themed notepad set for DMIL, a nice black and
silver bandanna for DFIL (he loves and collects them), a 30-pack of mechanical
pencils for Beloved, Dearest’s favorite popcorn, a grab-bag of felt, a jar of
Zen Party trail mix, a fresh loaf of sourdough bread, an Elsa tote bag (last
one ! I was contemplating buying
one for $5. off eBay, but lucked out at Tar-zhay’s Dollar Spot instead), an
Our Generation doll stand for the DP&M girls, a bag of SunChips,
several sheets of patterned felt, some dishtowels, a sparkly July 4th
hood decoration for the truck, a jar of pickles, a pack of deep green bias
tape, and inexplicably, a new rectangular (not cube) box of Frozen facial tissues. I now have a
collection of those.
You may notice that I didn’t
get MH ‘Haunted’ Porter Geiss.
Despite what the website said, our Tar-zhay didn’t have him. And I looked. If I’d
had to choose between him and SS Ghoulia,
I’d have chosen her, so it’s all good. I’m also glad to report that the OG stand works pretty well, if loosely,
with the Disney girls, with enough weight to it so it’s not a fall-over type Kaiser
metal stand. Still planning to paint it, I’m not much on the
not-quite-Barbie-bright shade of pink it is now. Since we got another pour-down
rainstorm going on now with more forecast tomorrow, Beloved said if I wanted to
go out again, it was fine with him. Perhaps. . . but it’s not like I didn’t
already buy plenty to keep me busy ! According to receipts, I saved a total of
$42.36. Not bad, considering I spent less than $90. !
Beloved’s oil change supply
purchase came with a bonus of a free hat offer, so I got that all taken care
of, and he chose the Dale Earnhardt Jr. one. About the time we’ve forgotten
about it, there’ll be some odd, lumpy envelope in the mailbox.
