Summer Spontaneity

Monday was a good day. Woke up to fresh air, dreams and a big stuff 'puppy'. It was wonderful. I breathed it all in, and breathed out the stress. It was awesome.

So I took the dog out for a potty-done. Came back in, and told the boys to be quiet, because apparently, The Big Kahuna and Momma Bear are NOT gone to work, and my grandma (Momma Bear's mom) leaves for who knows where. Says she'll be back in an hour or two, meanwhile the guys are working on a leak that is actually on the elementary school's property (right behind my house), but the 'key' to turn the water off is in MY yard, so they have to bring down the fence and we have to tie up the OTHER dog and let them do their work (who knows when they finished). So The Big Kahuna says "Pull out the van". Also done.

We go to breakfast-a ham-egg (nix the cheese) muffin with a carton of gone-bad OJ (much like the Simpson) with another round of fresh OJ. Fabulous.

We go home, only to reload the van with Mr. T's and Tacoman's friend, Killa' Larson. (Blech) First stop-Downtown SLC, at the Gateway. My personal first stop? A kitchen place, offering some lemon-water (divine) with a four-cherry pitter for only $15! WHAT A SAVINGS!!!! Big K does not get it, and we move on to colorful ice cream makers ("If you get one, NOT THE ORANGE ONE, PLEASE!!!!!")

Moving on.

Barnes and Noble next, with the first stop-A RESTROOM (of course). So I rifle through books, and find--



Yes, a new copy of 'Howl's Moving Castle', by the one and only Dianne Wynne-Jones. Fabulous movie, but I've heard the book is better. Will need to read it. But didn't buy it. (only $7!)

Moving on--Food court, but only a small rootbeer. Not very hungry. Moving on-Claire's with VERY cute earrings. 9 pairs for only $10!!! What savings. Bought them (eventually).

Next stop-the movies to watch 'A-team'. Not the best, but I thought Bradley Cooper was pretty cute. Hope over to the Layton Hill's Mall, and lunch! 7 nuggets and one 'bucket' of BBQ sauce-more rootbeer.

Shoe shopping-I feel a tug. I take my mom and Big K and boys hop over to somewhere (toy store?) for 1/2 hour (too short). Black flats-ALMOST!!! But $22.99. No Thanks. (Didn't want to spend over $10-I know, cheap-o) Moving one-WHAT? FOREVER YOUNG BOGO sale?

Buy one get one free for $15.95? YES! Black boots that come up to my knee, and black heels, very classy (but I was looking for flats). So I bought them BOTH. Momma Bear loves the boots, too. Total spent on two pair of shoes? Approx. $17.00 YES!!!!

Reese's Shake... even better.

Very good day. Yes, no, maybe so?

I think so.
