The Compulsive Ramblings Of A Philotherian: carnival of shoes

So LaVaughn and I decided to take a drive to Poplar Bluff today and spend money that we didn't really need to spend. It's literally been months since we've gone to Poplar Bluff, even longer since we went for pleasure. It was nice.

We hit up Petsway, the shoe store next door (where we spent too much money), Hastings, and then topped off our night with Wendy's and a Moo Latte from Dairy Queen. Doing what we did today is the exact reason why we don't go to Poplar Bluff.

We did get a really nice pair of shoes. Only one pair each, we were good. You'll also be happy to hear that we didn't get one animal at Petsway, not even any animal supplies! I'm surprised too, considering they had 3 adorable male rats that I so badly wanted to adopt. And we refrained from buying a lot at Hastings. We had about 5 movies picked out, but left with only one. We also left with a pack of The Walking Dead socks that are awesome! We got 5 pairs of socks for $12.99! How cheap is that?!

And now it's nearly midnight and I'm blogging. How pathetic am I. I'm left with guilty thoughts and empty pockets. And to top it off I have to be at work in 12 hours for another terribly 9 hour shift... in a restaurant with NO air conditioning. Someone call OSHA. Until then...

Love & Peace

And lastly, my mother who's visiting:

I feel as if I'm in a dream. Yesterday was weird and prolonged -- nothing compared to today, though. Today was the day that I had to drive my aunt to see her doctor in Cape. I'm sure you all know where Cape is by now, it's 2 hours East of me. Considering her appointment was for 10, that meant we had to leave by 7:30... meaning we had to be up even earlier.

LaVaughn and I both went to be just before midnight -- something unnatural and unholy. I'm sure there were lots of time shifts last night, maybe even the earth stopped rotating on it's axis, who knows! By some miracle I was able to fall asleep. I got up just after 5, took a shower, contemplated going back to bed, put some makeup on, then left.

We made awesome time getting to Cape, we made it there just after 9. I went inside with my aunt and sat with her until she knew when she would be taken back. Apparently one of their procedures ran past it's expected time, meaning she was going to have to wait. The lady said it would be an hour, or a little over.

While she was waiting to be see, LaVaughn and I went over to Carnival of Shoes where we walked around for about 45 minutes just looking at and trying on shoes. Leaving with nothing, mind you. Shoe designs are so weird anymore, and I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but sizes seem to be shrinking. After that we went in Target where we found the BEST shirts ever! We left with 2 Marvel shirts, a Beatles shirt, a Hogwarts shirt, a The Who shirt, an AC/DC shirt, and a G&R shirt -- winning!

There were like 4 more that I wanted, but they were kind of pricey, unfortunately.

After that we went in Walmart where I got to play with cameras. Not for very long, but for a little while. I got to hold my future baby, the Nikon D3200... but I think my interests have drifted to another -- the Nikon D3300! The lens on it is just, wow! I'm in the process of researching them both to see which one I want more. There's only like a $40 price difference, so it's not all bad.

We did a little Christmas shopping while we were there, but nothing extreme. I'm still a little bummed, considering they didn't have the Sons of Anarchy or The Walking Dead hoodies that we wanted. They had some, but unfortunately neither of us are small, lol.

So now we're home and I feel like today didn't even happen. Seriously, we were gone for 10 hours and I feel like I just woke up or something. I don't intend on going to bed until at least 3 in the morning -- I definitely don't want to unregulate myself. LaVaughn and I are planing on watching either The Walking Dead, Supernatural, or The Vampire Diaries... maybe a mix of all 3. I just need something to keep me entertained.

Now it's time for coffee... lots and lots of coffee.

Love & Peace

The drive to Cape:

Just look at that morning sunrise.

I always take a picture of this when we're in Marble Hill.

Okay, while LaVaughn and I were sitting in the car, we watched the most fascinating spider on the window! It ran back and forth for 10 minutes, it even got in a fighting stance when LaVaughn starting pecking on the window. It eventually starting shooting some webbing out, then made a little ball of web in it's hands and floated off in the wind. It was SO awesome to watch! LaVaughn and I both took a million pictures of it, some actually turned out really awesome!

Here he is...
