I’m up too early this morning after my 3 hours of sleep yesterday…I was asleep by 2am this morning and the dogs woke me up at 0700 because they were hungry – although by the looks of the cat feeder in the computer room, looks like the dogs had a midnight snack.

We went to Des Moines yesterday afternoon to do a little shopping and out to eat.  We hit Hobby Lobby first because they close at 8…everything I bought was 50% off – I’m sure with the mark-up Hobby Lobby isn’t losing money and it sure makes me feel good.  Toward the end, I felt I should probably wind it up so I didn’t have to drag his carcass thru the store because he was so hungry.

Red Lobster food was awesome…the atmosphere sucked for the amount of money it costs.  The hostess seated us in the same room with a group of 18 people celebrating a birthday.  I’m pretty sure most of them were related due to the fact it was a birthday party – how do I know this – because they sang Happy Birthday to the 18 year and had cake with candles.  The older folks were pretty quiet and there was some occasional conversation among the obvious sisters…but of course, one had to stand out – she may have been the mother of the birthday boy but she had one of those loud cackle laughs and she appeared very happy.  I couldn’t even hear the waitress when she was asking me what type of potato I wanted.  She mouthed “sorry”.  I have no doubt the woman was either very happy and friendly or totally uncomfortable with a nervous laugh… but it was annoying.

Went to the mall – it was about to close but I needed bras.  Two I bought on-line that I got for a really good price, have already bitten the dust so decided to bite the bullet and pay for what I wanted.

Walmart to get a little green machine for small carpet accidents…

Pumpkin cream pie from Village Inn that we consumed in less than 5 minutes and then home.  We watched NCIS and I tried to watch the Mentalist but ended up going to bed…he stayed up until 0400 because he has to go back to work tonight …you know what that means…woo hoo…I get the bed to myself tonight….

Until next time…
