Self-Medicated

I wasnt really planning on going anywhere today. I did talk to mom last night about getting out to buy a gift for Gregg’s 40th birthday this friday, but we didnt have any set plans. This morning mom called and said let’s go! So my sister Waltrude picked up mom and then stopped here and I jumped in the car and off we went.

We headed to Walmart to see what we could find. I found a great deal on a set of 3 Starfrit fry pans for 20 bucks. Usually 1 pan costs 20 bucks. I also found a pair of sandals that were 39 bucks regular but were priced down to 5 bucks! They fit great and will look good with jeans.

After Walmart we headed for Zellers and met up with my sister inlaw Gizy for lunch. I got my Jane lipstick and even got Waltrude to try out a new color, 2 in fact. Gizy took off back home, probably to jump in her hot tub. After we said goodbye we walked across the parking lot to the Shoe Company. Where all 3 of us found something we had to have. Waltrude found a nice purse, mom found sleek white shoes and I found cute red sandals. Regular price was 39.99 and on sale 29.99 and I used my points and go them for 22.95 including taxes. Not too bad!

This is the first pair of red shoes I have every bought. I like to stick to neutral colors, but I just could not resist these cuties. I did debate with my inner self for a while in the store. My sister and mom looked at me a bit funny. I finally gave in and did it.

After all the shopping we stopping at Costco for gas 1.29 L. is a good price. Then around the corner to the recycle depot to drop off an old monitor. Finally back here to kick me out and mom and Waltrude are still doing a bit more running around.

We did come up with a few ideas. We have decided that since Mom will have room in her new condo, we will be doing a ladies movie evening once a month. No hubbies and no kids. Sounds like fun to me! I will email all the ladies with the details and we can start doing this in September. Also  I was thinking we can do a “make-up” party. Clothing exchange party, and so many more parties. We will figure it all out.

Well… I need a hair cut. I have decided I need to find a new salon. The last hair cut was a bad one and it turned me off from the place I had been going to for a few years. So, there is a little shop about 5 blocks from here. I can walk to it if I need. She charges 20 bucks for the cut and extra for any styling I might want. I think I will try her out. I’ll stop in and see if they do walk-ins otherwise I will need to make an appointment. I would get my niece to do it but she lives out in Langley and its a bit hard to get out there for me.

Gregg is home so we will go do our food shopping today. We go to Costco on mondays cause its not as busy. We get what we need there and then head to Save-on Foods for a few things that Costco might not have. After we will come home and relax.

I guess thats my day today.
