Whew! What a busy day. We need some new baseboard for the kitchen and Gary got the wrong kind, so we went out to eat breakfast and then took the wrong baseboard back and got the right kind. Then I took Gary home and went and picked up my mom and took her to JC Penny's for some new clothes. She's gained a little weight since living in assisted living so she needed some new pants. She's also going to a class reunion next month and she wanted something new to wear. Penny's was having a great sale (we didn't even know till we got there) and we got 3 pairs of pants, two jackets, one blouse, and two knit shells for $180. Then I took her out to eat and before I took her home, she decided she wanted a few things at the grocery store. It was 2:00 before I got her home, and after that I had to do all my errands.
My toaster oven is as old as the hills and looks terrible. Well it looked particularly terrible after we got the new countertops, so I was shopping for a new one. Also, my red valance didn't look good with the new countertops either so I shopped for a new one. I had to go to three stores before I got the toaster oven. I got home about 4:30 and Gary was starving (its not as if there weren't things to eat in the house
). He wanted hot dogs and of course I didn't have any buns, so we ran up to a little grill in town that has really good hot dogs, several kinds. He had a chili/cheese and I had a kraut dog.
Then I had to go back to Target to get another valance (I thought there were two in the package but there was only). I also looked for mom a black knit top. She needs one to go with one of her jackets, but I didn't have any luck at two different stores, three if you count Penny's. Why doesn't anyone have a basic black shell???
When we got home I had to unpack all my stuff, iron the curtains, hang them and move the water in the yard. YIKES! This is the first time I've sat down all day. I'm pooped!!!
