Saturday

I love Saturdays like this. Slept in until 12:30 this afternoon. Not because I was tired, but because I was just plain lazy and I felt I deserved it. Me staying up until after four in the morning really had nothing to do with it! Neither did me drinking a "few" drinks either! Hey....I had a rough week and it's the weekend and I'm entitled so....

After finally getting my ass out of bed, I done a quick cleanup of the house. Vacuuming, washing dishes, making the bed you know.....the usual. After that a quick shower and Nick and I were off for some serious shopping! I really wanted to go to Archivers because it's been so long since I've been there. Like a total of maybe 3 days and I needed to look for something for me to make Easter cards with. Found a ADORABLE card that I wanted to make but just my damn luck, the stamps that were used to make it with were sold out! I was so mad! They had everything else there for Easter except for the one thing that I wanted! I swear it always turns out that way! I've been walking around the house for the last couple weeks saying to Nicki..."I have to make Easter cards-what should I do? I have to make Easter cards-what should I do? What should I do for Easter cards? I have to come up with an Easter card idea- what should I do?". That poor girl! Every holiday that I need to make cards for she gets to hear this from me every single day I see her! It's no wonder she is starting to despise holidays! That trip to Archivers was a waste of time for me. All I came home with was $49.00 in crap that I "needed" like I needed a hole in my head. I still don't know what I'm going to do so unfortunately Nichole has to still listen to me.

I also didn't find what I was looking for at the mall. Nichole for some reason thinks I need a new pair of shoes. She literally hates the ones I wear now everyday. I think they are called deck shoes? It's the simple ugly slip on ones. They are made of canvas, are black with white skulls on them. She hates them and I love them! Actually she says they aren't all THAT bad, but when I wear nice black pants and a pretty pink blouse and look all nice with my hair pinned up and then I wear these shoes, it just doesn't look good at all. I say that at the age of almost 44 that it doesn't matter what it looks like.....it's how comfortable they are and how much I like them! She just rolls her eyes and sighs. She's young right now but she's going to get old one day and then she'll know what I'm talking about.
I didn't end up buying much of anything. I bought a glass lazy susan on clearance for like $6.50 and a birthday gift for my mother-in-law. Also got a devotional book and a book on tape (Joyce Meyers) at Barnes & Noble. We didn't even get to the second level of the mall and they were closing. Since we didn't spend much money shopping she suggested we we go out for cocktails afterwards. Well need I say she didn't have to say twist my arm for that one! We ended up at La Cacina- a Mexican place that serves the BEST strawberry margaritas EVA! We ordered a pitcher and also some dinner and we were laughing so hard I about pee'd my damn pants! I just love spending time with her like this! Always ALWAYS a good time! One thing I say about my kids.....all 3 of them, is that they ROCK! My day was originally planned for just cleaning and scrapping, but I had a much better time spending it with her instead!
