Missions Accomplished

I'm so proud. P and I went to SuperTarget yesterday. OMG. Really. It's almost better than Salvation Army (but in a different way). It has a full grocery store, all the regular Target stuff, and an optic department. Therefore, in one fell swoop, we got the groceries, a few things for around the house, and I got "new" glasses on order. They are actually old frames that I love, but are being made into bifocals. I was rather overwhelmed by all this (says the girl that loves the Mall of America), and ended up forgetting a bunch of things on my list, but it went very well.

I was so happy that P went with. He hates shopping to no end, but he was a trooper. I warned him about me putzing, but he even hung out in the DVD section for 20 minutes while I searched for the new HP movie. And helped look. And this is after he went jeans shopping with me a few weeks ago at a real mall.

Went out to lunch with my girlfriends K and M on Monday. Super yum at Pop. It was amazing. Then the three of us went to Crafty Planet, as K is learning to knit and we hooked her up. I used my gift certificate from my girlfriend R there that she got for me after I was mugged. I have two girlfriends preggers, and need to work on baby bibs! And one is expecting TWINS. Egads.

K and I then went to SalArm and I scored 2 Converse dresses, a Converse vest, tights, and a pair of Converse black sparkle tennies for $35. NOT BAD.

It feels so good to be getting stuff done again. Joining swaps, returning monies owed, returning favors. Being able to actually get my hair done (okay, Jason gives me a deal, but whatever). I have a lot of more catching up to do, and all the work that I do at Anchor is worth it. As I am still lucky enough to love my job. My only complaint in life now is that I want to wear little sundresses and it's only 10 degrees here. That's not such a bad complaint.

Also excited to be saving to go to Chi next month. I need to visit my girls.

Funny

Cat Cat Cat if you want to mess with the kittens in your house, play some of these. Stink-bomb was NOT amused. He keeps staring at the puter and even jumped up on the desk (which he knows is not allowed) to find mystery cat. Yes. I am a mean cat mommy.

Got the tips of my hair changed from red to hot pink on Tuesday. It's amazing. Jason is brilliant. And he "shattered" my bob, so it's more layered. Love it. Love him.

Had session #2 at the gym. I did 42 crunches in a minute. Guess that's good, or at least, average according to Dan. Starting to go regularly next week. Little scared, as I really have no idea how to work the machines, but what the heck. I joined for a reason and won't waste the money. Will be good to work off frustration, too, on the treadmill.

Still trying to make the magic bundt cake. I need a pan tho. Need to go to Target in the next day or so anyhoo. Cat food, shampoo, etc. Maybe a red velvet bundt cake? Still dwelling on this.

Power cleaning around the apartment also, as we have P's best friend coming to town with his lady on Monday.

Talked to my girl Jil about my trip to Chi (prolly after St. Patrick's Day), and she's tagging along. She has family out there, so ride sharing! Yay! Gas discount!

Hot Second Before Work

Today was good. A little weird, but good.
Got up, ran to the gym and got lessons on how to work the machines (whatever, it was a lot of info in a little time). Ran to The Anchor to meet up with my cousin who I haven't seen in 6 years. That was weird. Maybe more updates on that soon. It was good, but bizarre.

Home to check email and change clothes.

The madness in my life never ends. Really.
