crazy trip to town...

so I had a huge list of places to stop when I made it to town today. I had the pet store to get Ally's new halter...isn't it cute?

I had to go to the Christian book store next. They were having a big sale and I needed a new Bible for school. NIV, which I don't have, so I got an adorable "In Bloom Edition" that has a leather cover with a flower on it!

I also found a couple of CD's in the bargain bin...

 a really cute water bottle...

and the most adorable book. It's written by Phil Visher, the creator of Veggie Tales. It comes with a CD of the story (with music) there's a chorus to the story that he sings. So cute! The first page sold me because it's set in the "northwest Territ'ry" and it's about beavers who escape from a trapper.

Picking Up Hubby

Well, the house clean out took until about 2am. I slept for two hours and was up at 4am. I got all primped up, wearing my hot new sundress, and headed out on the road. It took an hour to get to the airport and he was coming off the plane as I walked in. He walked over to me and put his arms around me. I tried really hard not to cry, but I was teary. We gathered his things, drove the hour home and both CRASHED from 8 am until 2pm. IT was great! We managed to make it into town after that. Took my new car for a test drive! Scott bought some new speakers for our Entertainment system. And I still managed to work in my run. Great day!

Errand Day

Well, today was the day for errands.
I got my hair cut.
I picked up my quilt from the drycleaners.
I picked up the tile from Home Depot.
I got dog food, etc from Walmart.
I got a new top and skirt from Bibles for Missions Thrift store.
I got a new dress and skirt from Fairweathers.
I got a couple of halter tops from Suzy Shier ($5 each!).
I went to Staples and picked up a class set of lit folders.
I picked up the mail.
I went for a walk with Casey.

Yup, a pretty productive trip.

Teacher Store Purchases

So I finally made it out to Scholar's Choice, the most amazing teacher's store ever! I've been there many times before, but this time I can invest in some things because I now have a permanent job! Anyway, so I did some online browsing, made a sizable list and away I went. I spent way too much, but I'm so excited to get these up in my room! I just to get them all punched out now and laminated...and then cut out again... oh, this is sounding like work! Oh, well, pass it off to another day...
