Monday Things

I got to go pick up my new glasses today! They are SO nice. They made an amazing difference when I put them on...and the lady (I have NO idea what to call the workers in the front part of an optromotrist's (sp?) office) anyway, she didn't have to adjust them at all...nor have I had a headache from wearing them all the rest of the day. Yay!

After that we went out to eat for our anniversary...a week in advance, so we won't have to drive back over there. Our first choice for going to eat was...GONE! The sign was down, the business all closed up (signs on the door which said "Closed for Business"lol). SO we went to the place which was so awful for Daddy's b-day, but this time it seemed much cleaner and nicer. And the food was wonderful. I ate until I was literally Stuffed. : )

After that we stopped by Hobby Lobby...and looked at all the expensive craft stuff we can't afford. Emma wants one of those big wooden doll houses you put together for Froggy. They're nearly $200 for the one she wants, though, then the furniture is about $20 for each set. They're talking about saving all their birthday and Christmas $$ for things, but I'm hoping we can come up with a cheaper alternative before that. I think Froggy would fit in one of the Fisher-Price houses, and we might be able to find one of those at a yard sale this summer.

I hadn't noticed before how (excuse me) ~educational~ Hobby Lobby could be. We kept finding fascinating things to look at. I asked Emma if she was *really* interested in collecting stamps when we saw some to buy (300 for $6) and she said she was. I told her she needs an album to put them in, then we can get her some....not telling her I have some ordered for her. I'm planning on them being a surprise. We looked through a price guide, too, and a LOT I remember from ages past (lol when I was a teenager) are worth around $2 now. Maybe I should look for those old love letters I think I still have in my box. lol

We finally made it home, and I'm SO tired I'm going to go take a bath......which saying does not go nearly far enough to tell how WONDERFUL it will feel to sooooaaaakkkkk......................; )
