My #FavouriteThing today was shopping. Twice. I took Kid #2 to get her birthday present – a swankypants backpack that she wanted. And then she had some other birthday money burning in her pocket…a little Aeropostale, a little Adidas. She made some good choices.
And then I had had to do really exciting shopping tonight – you know, the paper towel, toilet paper, dishwasher soap kind of shopping. So I kidnapped my friend from across the street to come with me. She was shocked and horrified at the way I shop (smart, and not particularly quickly). She was really floored when I actually checked each egg in the carton to make sure they were all intact before putting the carton of eggs in my cart. Hey, that’s how I learned to do it in Home Ec. 8. And I still do. Every time. (Mrs. Gluska would be proud.) That was our hot, housewife Saturday night date: WalMart. AND her husband referred to me quite hilariously, as he called up the stairs to her, “your little friend is here!”
What was your favourite thing today?
There are people who don’t check the egg cartons? Talk about living on the edge!
My favourite thing was going to watch Sprint cars with my family. Afterwards (and way past bedtime for our daughter) we dropped by a get together that my inlaws were at. Everyone there has known my husband since he was knee high to a grasshopper (that’s pretty small), so it would be rude NOT to drop in. Anyway, our daughter was delighted that there was a band, and started dancing immediately. The band finally took notice of this pint sized fan, and changed their set to play even MORE bouncy songs (she dances like her mother. Mostly jumping lol). By the end of their set, she was sitting in with the band, rocking out on the tambourine. Of course she was. My child who wants to grow up to be a science teacher. Lmao. The best part of all was when she informed the host of the party “more songs are 10,000 and my rider is a lobster dinner.” Someone may have put her up to that lol. As it was, the band gave her four picks, a set of drum sticks, and a shiny dime. Not bad for her first performance. Ha!
