After a crapy morning yesterday the rest of my day was quite a good one. :)
My mom took the kids to the kiddy pool at the park and gave me the afternoon "off". So off I went to deposit the GST refund check we had just received and went on a spending spree. 1st finally got the findings I needed to make beaded stitch markers. Then got caught by heavy showers while walking for half an hour. Did I stop and go in a store while it rained? Nooooo...... Jo isn't scared of the rain, the result was a soaked Jo needing new clothes! LOL! Went to the Bay and found some cargo pants on sale!!! Went to four stores to look for a plain t-shirt. Why is it so hard to find a PLAIN t-shirt? Finally found one with Nike printed on it. I didn't cared, I was still soaked and wet and getting cold. Changing into new and dry clothes was great! :)
The best part of my shopping spree was stumbling across some yoga mats on reduction. I was just about to go to a book store where I had seen an orange mat that I wanted. Good thing I got caught in the rain, it made me go shopping at Winners (a store that sale brand name clothes at a reduced price). I bought my hibiscus print yoga mat half-priced. Then got a call from dh, he just finished work and we made plans for him to join me downtown. My mom was all for it when I called her to let her know the change of plans. Once dh and I met we went out to eat at Wendy's (there's only one Wendy in our area) also I decided that tuesday was my official "unhealthy" day. I can eat what I want and don't exercise. Ok, so I did walk like 4 hours shopping! lol! Before going back home I bought a 2nd yoga mat for my 4 year old yoga partner! She loves doing it with me and I even splurged on a satin mat bag. I tell ya, shopping can cure any blues! ;)
Today I'm alot more patient with the kids, we spent all morning gardening outside and right before lunch we all tried out th;e new "walk away the pounds" tape I bought yesterday. I love all this exercising I've been doing, I feel great, sore.... but great! ;)
