Yesterday after work as I was driving down my street, I noticed something awesome. Everyone had new BIG garbage cans! I guess the city gave everyone one. This makes me happy. It can hold a lot more than our current can, AND it has a lid. (No more free meals for you stupid cats)
I decided that I would go into town and get some paper since it was 1/2 off, and also get Eddie's birthday present since it is tomorrow. The big 3-0.
Vallerie and I went to 3 stores to find Eddie's present, which is a wallet. I thought that TJ Maxx would have something, but no. Then we went to Gordmans, still nothing. Finally we went to the mall (ick) I was looking for a certain store (American Eagle), and thought I knew where it was. I ended up walking 1/2 the mall looking for it when I decided to just go in another store. (The Buckle) I swear they move those stores around so much it's ridiculous!
Luckily I found what I was looking for in The Buckle. It's a brown leather wallet with a little pull out part so Eddie can use it for his bank card and all the other little card thingies he has. That was one of the things he liked about his old wallet that got stolen from our car on a trip to my moms.
Before we went to the mall though, we went to Hobby Lobby for paper. I don't know if people had picked through it before I got there, but wow, there was like nothing. They had some really nice paper, but it was too thick to do what I wanted with it, so I had to look a little harder to find what I wanted. I ended up finding a nice paper pack with rainbow papers.
After the mall we went to Walmart to get some food. Nothing special.
Overall, Vallerie got a 9.8 on our shopping trip. She was fantastic. The only thing that lowered her score was the fact that she didn't want to sit still in the carts. She didn't fuss, she was just trying to stand up. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I sure am happy.
After we went home from our shopping trip, Eddie made dinner (scrambled eggs and bacon) and then I did the dishes and put Vallerie to bed.
I told Eddie that I got him a birthday present and he immediately guessed what it was even without one tiny hint. So, I decided just to give it to him then. To say he is amazing at guessing presents is an understatement. I am horrible at keeping surprises, and I really wanted to give it to him right away anyway.
He said that he really liked it, all he needs to do now is break it in.
I played about an hour of my new dance game last night. It was fun. Some of the dance moves were hard (even on easy level) I don't know if I am that coordinated. I ended up drinking too much tea and got a stomach ache, so I went to bed.
All in all yesterday was a really good day.
I am working from home today which is nice. I am hoping it will be an easy fun day.
