Today...

...has been full o' busy. I went to work (easiest part of my day) and left at noon (we close our office at 12 on Fridays in the summer*). I dropped my car off at the Hyundai dealership for an oil change and Bill picked me up for lunch. We has some lame sushi at Sakura Blue** and Bill dropped me back off to pick up my car.

After that, I wandered through Big Lots*** where a delightful 12-year-old boy held the door open for both me and a woman with a cart exiting -- I tried to find his mama and tell her she was raising that boy right, but I didn't see them -- and bought a shitload of stuff for 50 bucks.

I then wandered down to Cracker Barrel in search of the retired Webkinz racoon I'd seen there a couple of weeks ago. They were out and I was a bit disappointed, but an industrious employee found one in the back for me. SCORE!

Then it was off to Sam's to see if they had the 6-pk of Chardonnay for $21 that I like, but sadly that deal was short-lived (Prohibition bastards...).

I went to the library and picked up my reserve copy of The House at Riverton, which I don't even remember reserving but apparently I read a review of it somewhere and thought I'd read it. (BTW, Brenda Novak's Trust Me is really good. I'm enjoying the richness of her characters. Damn. I don't usually put that much substance into my posts. Cookie for me for insight.)

Finally ended my rainy afternoon at the bank and at Boo's school, where I picked her up early. I thought she'd be happy to see me, but instead she was pissed that she didn't get to finish her science project (this week's summer camp is Wacky Science Week! And we're all about science! In this house!)

AAAAAAAAAAAnnnd, that's it. Busy afternoon, boring evening. Nothing on TV, so I'm updating my iPod. Good times.
