All About Me

Well, before I throw on my comfy clothes and put another load in the washer, let me tell you about my morning. Not a mom morning or a wife morning, but a me morning. And yes, this is going to be painfully self-centered and selfish and all about me. You have been forewarned. Although I am well aware that my previous post mentioned our mortgage and prayers and all that, rest assured that the following did not come out of the mortgage fund. Every now and then I get a little something-something with my name on it that I tuck it back for a rainy day (mama didn't raise no fool). The rain might not have been falling today, but I broke it out nonetheless.

And boy, did I have fun.

First, I went by our local elementary school for the nice nurse to read my TB results as my final step into the public school system. Once she gave me the all clear, we talked for a little while, I made sure to drop my name and experience a few times, and she complimented me on my hair. In cases like this, red hair is a good thing. People remember you.

After a quick trip to the bank to cash in my rainy day fund, I dropped by my favorite book store and walked out with five books, one t-shirt, and one CD for all under twenty bucks which, by the way, is the only thing I will admit to what I spent (once again, my mom taught me well). After that, a new pair of shoes and some outdoor goodies for the screened-in porch. I topped off the day with a trip to the mall where I wandered aimlessly for over an hour looking at stuff I couldn't afford, but enjoying it anyway. For lunch, I bought a gyro stuffed with seasoned lamb and feta cheese and promptly texted my husband to rub it in.

I'm telling you, it doesn't get much better than that.

So now I'm back home.
The laundry awaits.
I need to plan supper.

And the husband just walked in asking me if I had a good lunch.

Why, yes. Yes, I did. =)
