I had SUCH a great day yesterday! :) Now let me tell you all about it too! LOL! If you are coming here to read knitting content, please move on but do come back tomorrow, when it will be back to our regular knitting blog content.
So the plan was to find Ice blue kool aid. Took the bus with Zoe (my mom graciously offered to keep Lucas at home.), went to a 1st grocery store. BIG WINNER!!!!!!!! found Ice Blue and it was on sale, how cool is that! LOL! They did not have grape though. Oh, I did get the worst ever customer service from the cashier, guess she thought I bought all the packets to drink... We continue our little route, Walmart it is, found a how-to crochet cd and I spluged. ;) (/begin rant) Of course this said cd does NOT take for account that some left-handed people would be willing to learn crochet! How silly would that be, RIGHT? UGH! Coats & Clark people you are not nice
Sure they also sell a crochet booklet and suggest lefties to look at the images with a mirror reflecting them. SHEESH! Anything else I can do to make your big corporate life easier? again (/end rant.)Went to three more supermarkets hunting for grape kool aid. Still nothing, in fact most of them don't even sell the little packets anymore. Then there was Value Village (hi Anna, yes I shop there too!) LOL! Did NOT find any kool aid there either! LOL! (oh dear, yes I crack myself over silly thoughts like that!) ROFL! I did find six books for the kids, YES, even THE Barbie party cookbook! Woohoo! ;) Zoe is learning a few syllables and is really motivated to read. She's only four so I am in no way pushing her. She keeps picking up books and reading them to her little brother, it is really cute to see her invent those stories from the images in the books! I found a board game too it's called Maestria, I love board games, don't everyone? I'm such a boring person, could play cards or board games all evening with the tv off or knit while watching a movie. I am a party animal, can't you tell? ;)
So my little escapade continues, need to pick up some food for our supper, yummy chicken fajitas. Bought blueberries at the fresh produce market and finally got home. Later in the evening, I go out with Lucas to find grape kool aid, well... it did not happen, so I chose the cherry flavor. You never saw someone so dedicated to find a particular kool aid flavor. LOL! Lucky me, there was a HUGE kids clothing sale at the store!!! I bought both Zoe and Lucas some new clothes and since they were begging us to leave as it was closing time, first thing today I'm going back to find more clothes for the kids. Oh yeah, they were 1,99$ each outfit or jeans, that's in Canadian dollars too! ;) Just got a call that woke me up, dh calling to let me know the store is about to open! LOL! Guess dh thought the prices were good and I shouldn't miss out! ;)
What a great day I had! :) Hope today is even better! ;)
