A Day Out

It's not a raspberry margarita, but it will definitely do. A Raspberry Cheese Louise Low Fat Yogurt Baskin Robbin's milkshake if you please. How can anything with the words "low fat" taste so good, you ask? Probably because there isn't really much in it that is actually low in fat...and the bits of raspberry cheescake definitely help.

Today I struck out on my own for a sanity break. I only had three goals of my own: scrapbooking paper, sandals, and mulch. However, I thought it made sense to ask Don and Mom if I could pick up anything for them and, of course, I could so the trip took much longer. The most frustrating item was a refill for Mom's fine tip PaperMate pen. I have been on this quest before and I cringe when it is time to repeat it. Neither Staples, BiMart, WalMart, nor PayLess had it. Actually, BiMart had it, but only in black ink and Mom wants it only in blue; a "pretty" blue. *sigh* I was successful in finding everything else, though, but the lack of the pen refill was still duly noted when I came home and produced three sacks of her other goods.


Anyway, the day was not a total loss because I spent too much at the scrapbook store, found sale items at JoAnn's, remembered to get five bags of medium mulch, got another "free" coke glass with my lunch, and found some cute shoes at Shopko! Not the sandals I was looking for, but how could I resist these cute denims? The sandals will remain a quest for another day out. Ahhhh. Shoes and a BR milkshake. What a great day!
