Saturday Stuff

Well, I made it through the last Saturday of busy season.  A coworker even offered to stay until 2, so I could leave a bit early.  It was my turn to stay until 2, but she thought it was hers, so she said, "Go ahead, you have plans and I don't!"  Cool.  Thanks, Patty.

I met Kevin in Blue Springs, where he and Monica got their hair cut.  Then we dropped his truck off at his work, and headed to Independence.  A customer sent me a Chili's gift card, which just happens to be good at On The Border, too, so we redeemed that. 

The food was good, as always, but the service was lacking (we're usually quite happy with them) and the bathroom was a wreck.  Kevin and I told the lady we were going to split a Borderito (they are HUGE) and she didn't bring an extra plate.  When we asked for one, she brought me a dirty one.  The second one was clean.  We spent $47 of the $50 on the card, so guess what her tip was?  LOL

Then we headed over toward the theater to see Charlotte's Web.  There was a major traffic jam, and you couldn't get to the theater.  It's across from a mall, and it's the week before Christmas.  We turned right around and headed back to Blue Springs.  That theater was almost empty!  We really enjoyed the movie.  I cried.  Laugh all you want, I cry at Hallmark commercials, what do you EXPECT me to do when the spider dies?  Oops, I've given away the ending.

After dropping Kevin off at his truck, I took the girls to Walmart to buy a dress for their many programs coming up this week.  Have I mentioned how much I hate Walmart?  And people?  And spending money that I need for Christmas?  And holiday traffic?  And kids bickering in the back seat?  Bah Humbug.

OK, I'm over it.  I found some stuff on clearance, so 3 skirts, 2 sweaters, two pairs of tights, one pair of shoes, some makeup that I needed, and a few other necessities, and I walked out of there $70 poorer.  Not bad, I guess, compared to department stores, but still.

Now I'm home, and in my comfy new jammies (thanks Kevin!) and he noticed I was a bit crabby, and fixed me a diet coke with some hooch in it.  He also replaced the fuse in the outside Christmas lights, because he knows how much I enjoy coming home and seeing them on.

Well, with programs coming the next 3 nights in a row, I'll hopefully have some pictures to share this week.
