Post-Cape blog, plus birthday gifts and mall finds!

LaVaughn had to go to the pain clinic Wednesday for her quarterly injection, so we decided to go up on Tuesday, stay the night at the hotel and do some shopping. We stayed at our favorite hotel; Auburn Place Hotel & Suites and even got our favorite room this time! I'm going to leave out what room number it is due to the fact that I have a stalker now, but we'll leave that for another blog.

After we got checked into the room, we did our usually mall run where we were able to find some AMAZING deals -- who doesn't love out of season clearance items? Maurice's and Old Navy are our go-to store when it comes to hitting the clearance. Especially if you're looking for style and comfort. We snagged a few Christmas gifts as well -- I also got LaVaughn's other birthday gift that I've wanted desperately to get her from Hot Topic!

After we spent a couple hours exploring nearly every single store in the mall, we called it quits for the day and headed back to our room before 7 PM. We had planned on hitting up Target and Petco, but decided to go there after the injection.

We ordered take-out from Olive Garden again, only because we've been dying to try the Tour of Italy and the Northern Tour of Italy (this one was mine). Of course, it was amazing. I'm a huge fan of their Alfredo and Tortellini. The salads are mediocre, in my opinion. They're overrated $1 bags of Dole salad mix that you get from the market. Where are the baby greens?? The salads are free, so I'm not complaining.

Luckily LaVaughn's appointment went well and we were able to hit up Target (more Christmas items), Petco and Walmart for household items and more groceries than I care to admit.

Of course, we were homesick all night last night and badly missed our cats and other furry critters. It was nice to get away for a day, though, but I still prefer to be home. I'm a homebody -- nearly a shut-in!

I've stolen pictures from my Instagram to share, but they're really nothing special. Hope you enjoy!

Late night recap...

Yeah, I know I wasn't planing on blogging until next week, but I know something will come up and I'll be a week or two behind again. So, since I figured out how to embed pictures from Instagram, I thought I would do just that. So, here we go--

Hello, hello again...

Wow, 5 whole days without a blog in sight! I've gone, at most, 4 days without blogging as of late. This is a new record, but one I'm okay with. I've been so unbelievably busy lately -- today is literally the first day I haven't had to do anything. LaVaughn and I have been cleaning ALL day today, so it really hasn't been much of a day off.

We have to meet up with Millie tomorrow, the girl that's adopting our plat boy. So yeah, back at it again tomorrow. At least we're just driving, meeting up with her, and then grocery shopping. It's not much, but we're still not going to be home all day. And no one can deny that driving is exhausting. I would say I have tomorrow to "rest", but we have to clean the rat cage and the glider cages/glider room tomorrow. Then guess what, back to work Saturday! This is a vicious cycle that I want to end.

Now that I'm done bitching about my troubles, I guess I can recap our drive to Cape Monday. You all know my sister had to have another cortisone shot in her neck, right? Well she did. After we finished up at the new and improved Saint Francis Medical Center, we headed to Best Buy to look at camera lenses. They didn't have squat! They had kit lenses, telephoto lenses, and a 50mm. Not much to look at. And of course, as soon as we walked up to the camera display, I rubbed, not touched, rubbed up against the stand that the cameras were on and a damn alarm went off! What's up with that? We left there as quickly as we came.

We headed to Hancock Fabric after that where we proceeded to buy a couple solid yards of fleece for the rats cage. We're desperately need some liners for their cage. We also grabbed some hand soap on the way out. Cause Hancock and Joann's are known for selling $1 hand soap at the counters.

We then made our way to West Part Mall where we spend nearly 2 hours! We walked around in like 50% of the stores, something we so rarely do. Of course, we went to Bath and Body Works where we spent... $30 on THREE scents! *GASP* Considering we didn't buy ANYthing else in the mall, I guess that was okay. LaVaughn got pissed that the one wasn't on sale and almost wanted to leave, lol. She's hilarious. She says I'm a tight wad, but she's just as bad.

After we store hopped all over the mall, we made our way downtown to Dairy Queen where we grabbed a coupe caramel Moo Lattes -- best things on the planet!! Then we grabbed some Taco Bell and headed home. I honestly forgot how delicious Taco Bell was. It's been nearly 2 years since I've ate there!

The rest of the time during my blogging absence was spent either working, or playing with joeys. Oh, speaking of joeys, did I mention that we sold our leu boy? We sold him SUPER cheap to a friend of ours that lives in Saint Louis. Her name is Connie Ho, she's super nice and owns Odin and Lilah now. So, she's already an owner of some of our joeys, which helps matters.

Now we just have to decide if we're keeping this ringtail girl or selling her. She already has a buyer if we sell her, which is awesome. Then we'll have to find a home for her WT mosaic brother and Kira's two black beauty joeys. We have babies ALL over the place.

And on that note, I' believe I'm going to call it a day. Until next time...

Love & Peace

-Megan

Our drive to Cape:

This is what the entrance of Saint Francis Medical Center looks like now.

Inside the DRs office.

These codes were used in a distasteful way by LaVaughn and myself today.

Fancy new bathroom.

My gift shop finds.

Best Buy didn't have much today.

Nor did Hancock Fabrics.

Now the mall was a different story.

Gotta love Hot Topic.



I forgot what store this was.

Shoe Carnival!

The End.

Long I stood there wondering, fearing...

LaVaughn finally had to swallow her pride and go to the hospital for her cortisone shot. The day was long a drawn out -- mainly the waiting part, the actual shot took less that 20 minutes. There were a couple times both of us considered leaving, but I swear I think they forgot where they stashed us a one point. It was like playing hide-and-seek with only one party playing.

We stopped at Payless before we went to the hospital. We had almost an hour to burn, so why not show shop, am I right? LaVaughn found some leg warmers, while I found a pair of heels that I, no pun intended, fell head-over-heels for. I'm not a heel wearing person, so it should be interesting to see me clicking around in those. After all, it's hard to go from Converse to something with a 3 inch heel.

While we were in Payless, a lady told us of a sale at The Shoe Department in the mall. Both of our eyes lit up with excitement as she mouthed the words "50% off". I felt like she could have been naked with a fan in front of her while she muttered the words in slow motion. So needless to say a trip to the mall was planned shortly after.

The West Park Mall is like directly across the highway from the hospital, so it was a straight shot to get there. For obvious reasons, the mall was packed, but surprisingly enough I was able to find a semi-close parking space.

Upon walking in the entrance, I was immediately taken back to my younger years as a small girl when I used to visit the mall with my dad. My mom was there too, but she was literally always in the hair salon. My dad would take me by the hand and parade me around while I touched everything in sight and continuously said, "I need!".

We had two stores on our list; Bath & Body Works and The Shoe Department. I was able to stop BBW fairly easily. The sign above the store glowed as if heavenly lights were behind it. I literally felt like a kid in the most extravagant toy/candy store known to man. I never thought BBW would be so magnificent in person, but I was pleasantly surprised.

We ended up leaving with 6 body sprays. After all, they were having a "buy 3 get 3" sale, so it was hard to pass up. While we were waiting in the hospital, I was talking to Taylor and she had just told me that she got 6 sprays for $30, so that motivated us even more. We weren't that lucky, because our total came to $45... not cool. Oh well, I'm sure we wont need anymore body spray for a few months.

We ran in The Shoe Department for a few minutes after, just long enough to find some awesome Union Bay shoes for myself.

We had to stop by Walmart after that, but that was for less than 10 minutes to pick up a prescription for my aunt. We decided to be spontaneous and eat at Popeye's this time around. I'm so glad we did, it was delicious! A little spicy, but they don't call it Cajun for kicks.

And now I'm completely exhausted and need another cup of coffee. Don't judge me for already downing one, but I've had no caffeine all day, so I deserve it.

Love & Peace

-Megan

Time for a photo tour of the day:

Love the Bath & Body Works bag.

These are all the fragrances that we picked up:








See, told you I had coffee.


Una was happy to see me.



I love this picture of her.

That's about all the money I have left after shopping at the mall today, lol.




Luna is so dark!








Now some pictures from my phone:

My oxygen level and heart rate were awesome, just an FYI.



West Park Mall!

So many people.

This is an Atlas Safe Room... I want it.




Had to run in Hot Topic too.



And lastly, waiting on our food at Popeye's.
