After a week of teaching kindergarteners, I decided to hardcore relax this weekend. It’s been wonderful. I am laying around, doing nothing, watching tv. Don’t worry, folks… My busy schedule will be here soon.
Yesterday, Heather and I met up with Frank and Adam for a delicious meal at the Mongolian Grill Buffet. I’ve discovered a love for fake sushi. It’s seaweed, rice, and cucumber (instead of fish of some sort). It’s wonderful! I could eat it all day long. I also went to Target with the group and bought a new magazine holder for the bathroom. I even painted argyle patterns on it. I impressed myself, too.
I woke up around 10am today and FINALLY watched the rest of Damien: The Omen II. I’ve only been trying to finish that stupid movie for the last 2 weeks. It really wasn’t as good as I anticipated (after the long wait), but it kept me busy for a little while. Pilar and I went shopping at Walmart. I didn’t buy anything too exciting–just some Crystal Light and a pitcher. We also decided to pick Jenny up and went to Roanoke Mall instead of the local tiny mall. I realized that I will probably never shop in any of the following stores:
The Gap
Limited
Express
Eddie Bauer
B. Moss
The prices in there are just ridiculous. I think the only thing I can afford is a pair of $5.00 socks. Noooo thank you! However, I did buy some super duper clearance shoes at Hechts. I needed some comfy shoes to wear for teaching. Me-mom bought me 2 pairs of boots, and they are wonderful. I have been wearing them, but I also wanted a pair to slip on quickly if I wear a skirt or something. I found Liz Claiborne shoes that were originally $60.00 but were $11.90 on sale. That’s cheaper than Payless. Yahoo! Bargains are great.
We also went to dinner tonight at Ruby Tuesday. I got the Spicy BBQ Honey Chicken Tender Platter… I thought they were bluffing when they said “spicy.” Nope.
Brittany and Peter went to my brother’s birthday celebration today, which makes me happy. I called to see how things were going, and my mom answers the phone, “Hey.. we just got back from taking Brittany to the emergency room. Your hamster, Sally, really chomped on her hand.” I came to find that she was exaggerating; Brittany did get bit, but it was nothing to worry about. Sally the hamster is the most gentle hamster ever! I can’t believe such a docile creature bit someone. If I absolutely HAD to guess who the one person Sally would bite would be… I would probably choose Brittany though. That girl has bad luck with small animals.
Below is a picture from Target on Friday. Frank, Adam, and I tried on several hats in the men’s department. I think they especially enjoyed the hat with the beaver on it and the one below.
Guys’ hats take on a new meaning when girls wear them.
