Post-traveling update, plus things in the mail and our Old Navy haul!

It's so nice to be home. I haven't mentioned that yet and I know that won't be the last time. We didn't get home until almost 9 last night and we were nearly starved to death! I was SO unbelievably glad to be home, it was unreal.

We had decided against going to the mall when we finished eating Monday night, then decided we DID want to go around 7:30. It was 15 til 8 when we got there, so we had just over an hour to look around. We went in several store and didn't buy one thing.

I've also come to the conclusion that Macy's and JC Penny are ridiculously expensive. That and we're cheap.

We had over an hour to burn before LaVaughn's appointment, so we went to Best Buy and looked at lenses, Big Lots -- creepiest store in the world, and Hancock Fabrics. I wanted to buy SO much, but decided against it considering we have loads of fleece at the house.

After LaVaughn's injections we went back to the mall and window shopped for a while. We ended our trip by going to Old Navy, which LaVaughn was against, but went because I wanted to go. She quickly realized what a fantastic decision it was we we found that everything was 50% off in the entire store! Omg, I LOVE Old Navy!! We ended up getting 10 different shirts for just over $60! Can you believe it?? Such an amazing shopping experience.

We stopped by Walmart before we left town and grabbed some things, then finally headed home. It's SO good to be home, wow! I love staying in hotels, but I'm such a homebody -- I'm miserable anyplace else.

We got our fleece from Joann's today -- remember the 18 yards of solid? -- which sparked interest in organizing all of our left over fleece. We've cut out nearly 1 dozen pouches for ourselves out of scrap fleece! This is just what's left after we sew cage sets. I didn't finish cutting them all, but I got most of them. I also cut out a couple cage sets to sew tomorrow, should be fun.

We also got all of our Petco stuff in the mail today. Well not all of it, they didn't send our water catcher for the rats -- idiots! We're planing on fixing the boys cage up tomorrow, can't wait!

I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

I love Best Buy.

Everything in Big Lots is so janky.

This was a crow in Walmart - so weird!

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

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.
