It was a very busy day for me today, but all in a good way, so there will be no complaining. Here is how I spent this wonderful spring day.
After getting up and making breakfast and sending Hubby off to ski (Day 57), I poured myself a coffee and got the two new pillows I’d purchased a few days ago, put them back in their bag and tossed them in the trunk of the car to return to the store.
Those of you who have been with me a while will recall that I have major pillow problems and my quest for the right pillow continues to this day. I thought I had found a good pillow last week, but alas, I was incorrect and found that these pillows were so hard that we felt like we were sleeping on concrete! So back they have gone. Now the quest begins again! This isn’t a complaint, just more of a long term search that isn’t over yet.
After I dropped those off, I went to a coffee shop and met up with my girlfriend, Barbie, for a coffee and a chat. We sat there for a long time talking and laughing and speculating on whether or not Greta is with children. Barbie is the proud Mama of Greta’s boyfriend, Bernie.
We dropped in at LL Bean and I found the cutest tote for myself, an LL Bean tote with a dachshund on it! I mean, it is so totally ME!
I said good-bye to Barbie then and hopped on the highway to head back north, intending to shop for food at the grocery and personal items at Wal-Mart. I was enjoying the ride, as today was just a perfect spring day, sunny, about 70 degrees (F) and not a cloud in the sky. I put on the satellite radio and sang my heart out!
Just then my cell phone went off and it was Hubby. He was done for the day skiing and was heading home. I explained what I was up to and he decided to meet me at the grocery store and then go out to our favorite Chinese Buffet for lunch. I just love this place because they have so many wonderful vegetables and salads and I do not have to stray from my Weight Watchers program.
So I drove to Wal-Mart and got the things I needed there and then met Hubby at the grocery store. We got that job done quickly and then we both needed to stop and fill up our cars with gas. Okay, we all know the price of gas, so I won’t go into how much we paid. Let’s just say we’re spending our kid’s inheritance each time we need to fill up!
Lunch was so relaxing and the food was great. I had my vegetable egg foo yung and hot and sour soup and salad. Yum, yum, yum!!!
We drove home, put everything away and played outside with the dogs for a bit, before sitting down to check our e-mail. I was going through mine and I saw a post from Hubby. I read it and it was such a funny joke that I started laughing and he knew immediately what I was laughing about and he started to laugh again too. Yep, life on the Internet!
Kimmie was over right after school today with a book she’d taken out of the school library. She came up to the door and asked for Hubby! Then she came in and wanted to read with him. It was so much fun to watch them.
I made a new recipe tonight using Dover Sole, Baby Bok Choy, and lots of ginger. It actually came out pretty well, although next time I will do a few things a little differently. However, I just adore the Baby Bok Choy. Oh, that is just the best!
Now the day is ending, and I’m sitting here with Greta beside me. I’m hoping she is pregnant. I am sort of thinking that she is. There is just something in the way she is acting. Keep your fingers crossed!
Time for a cup of tea. The perfect end to a perfect day!
