5 Kidless Days - Day 2

OWIE! My tender tootsies are sore. Steve & I just got back from shopping...ALOT of shopping. I don't think we've done this much shopping together since before we had kids.

It all started with what I thought was going to be a quick trip to Costco (LOL! Like there's such a thing!). Up & down every aisle we went, just browsing along at a nice slow pace (it was nice not to have 2 running around, laughing hysterically children to chase after & repeatedly "shush"). When we were done we put everything in the car & went back in for "lunch" (which was a $1.99 jumbo dog/drink combo for each of us). Then off to St. Laurent to buy Steve's dad a B.day present. We couldn't get what we wanted at The Bay, so across the mall to Sears we went. It paid off...we found what we wanted on sale for $20 (from $60), so we were able to get something else to go WITH the thing that we wanted that we found (can't say what it is...he might read this...(lol!)). (Oh yeah, I forgot...on the way to the mall we stopped & got the battery in my car remote keychain thingy changed. It's been acting up & driving me NUTS for, oh...about a year now. THANK GOD that's over now! LOL!)

Then it was off to Rona to see if we could get another ceiling fan with a remote (like the one in the bedroom we're in now) for the master bedroom. They had them, but not for the price we paid for the 1st one. So we decided to wait...maybe it will go back on sale. Then we decided to go to Home Depot & see if THEY had any ceiling fans on sale. Alas, they had nothing we liked...guess we're too picky or sumthin'. Oh well, home we go. Or not!

"We forgot to get something for dinner." So 1 more stop on the way home...Loeb, here I come. Steve's being a baby lala, so I guess I'll go in myself & decide what we're going to eat (if he doesn't like it, too bad). Hmmm...what to eat, what to eat. Oooh! Shrimp skewers! With rice & salad. Now that sound healthy, doesn't it. Ok off to the cash...but on the way I'll have to get some ice cream (sheepish grin).

So, we're back home now, relaxing after that INCREDIBLY stressful 2 1/2 hours (lol). Later we'll eat our yummy dinner & watch the other movie we rented last night (we watched Cloverfield last night...very weird. I tend to like my movies to be "wrapped up" by the end, so this was a lil' different from my preferred "genre"). The movie we'll watch tonight is called Jumper...I'll let you know what I thought of it tomorrow.

Anyway, I guess that's it for now. Gonna go play online Backgammon for a while. Later gator!

I'm glad you're enjoying your leisurely time off! It's definitely rejuvenating :)

I liked Jumper... it had good effects and was interesting, but I didn't feel like they story line was developed enough. They didn't provide much of the background story and I didn't like that. JMO, of course.
