23 January 2008

I got almost everything done on my to do list  on Wednesday. Since I was going to be out of the house in the afternoon, I got Subway and dropped it off for Kevin's dinner.  Stopped at the bank as I was planning to send Tom to one end of the mall while I was at the other, cash was needed. We stopped at Target and got him nice warm shirts, etc. for work. Did I mention he got a job? Stopping at Target negated the need for the Home Depot/Lowe's trip as they had the appliance bulbs I needed for the fridge. The UHBS was done before I left. 

At the mall, I sent Tom, who walks a whole LOT faster than I do to Sears auto center to look for an ice scraper and to the game/book stores to find a book for Guild Wars which is what Kevin is now playing instead of WoW. No ice scrapers to be found, I expected  that. How hard is it for my husband to understand that they are few and far between in TX and he should have taken better care of the one he already stole from Tom's car bin AND the one I got him at the PX auto center. No, he has to go poking in the garage and take what WAS Tom's extra one. Men.. Gah... I need to look in the large box that we used to have in the van and see what's what.

I hit Bath and Body Works for the $5 sale on most of their Signature line. Mom and Dad sent me some money for Christmas and that's where I spent my loot. I got two of their new fragrance Chocolate Amber in shower gel and Sensual Amber in  bubble bath (I wanted shower gel and grabbed the wrong bottle).  The aromatherapy shampoo was also on sale; I snagged two bottles (Tranquil Mint and Lavender Vanilla). They now have a dollar rack. Be afraid. That means ... yes... gifties!! I do gift baskets every so often, especially for my girls. B&BW  had a new preview item called Enchanting Orchid. Kinda reminds me of Lily of the Valley. I also snagged two items of a brand I'd never heard of called the Savannah Bee Company; Mint Julep (made with peach kernel, pecan and sweet almond oils.) body lotion and Clementine (made with honey and sweet almond milk) body wash.

I remembered the bulbs for the fridge. Was supposed to drop off a couple of things at Goodwill, but somehow, we passed the place on the way home. Couldn't find the book for Guild Wars that Kevin wanted. Tom is going to get the groceries on his way home from work.  If it's not raining again, I'll take the next bunch of minis out to the game room.
