Well, this morning I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the back off my watch. The battery had stopped and I needed a replacement. After poking myself with various items at least four times (note to self: watch out for Staph) I finally managed to get the back off of it. Boy, that was on their tight!
Maddy and I ran out to Target today. I say 'run' making it sound as if it was a fast trip. Haha.. I am never fast at Target. Something catches my eye... I mull over it for a while and decide I don't need it and move on only to go back later to mull over it again and AGAIN decide I don't need it and move on!
It was a productive Target trip though. I bought a small space heater for our downstairs bathroom considering it doesn't have any heating vents that go to it, it's on the outside wall and it's on the ground level, which is the coldest. I also bought Nate's gift for the birthday party. I bought humidifiers but, unfortunately, it's louder than our noise maker! I would need a monitor in our room if I used this thing since I wouldn't be able to hear Maddy over it. Soo... those are most likely going back. I did buy Maddy's birthday dress/Christmas dress. It's nice that they are so close together so I can get use out of the dress twice. It's this one. I also got the patent leather shoes as well. Maddy just LOVED the shoes. She wanted to get rid of her pink shoes and wear her new shoes throughout the whole store. And since she was just sitting in the cart, I let her! People would giggle when they saw her and a few asked, "Do you like your new shoes?" She'd yell, "YEAH!"
I bought a couple little toys on clearance that i will either save for her birthday or Christmas--I can't decide which. we also picked up three packets of senseo pods for Matt's mom. We gave her a senseo coffee maker for her birthday and bought the pods at the same time through Target online. It was the only white individual size coffee maker I could find and I know all of her appliances are mainly white... Although the pot got there in a timely manner it said the Senseo pods wouldn't get there until the end of November! That's ridiculous since you can buy them over the counter at any store. ARGH.
Of course, they didn't have my watch battery in stock so I poked myself for nothing. I did find those Aquadots on the shelves still so I took one box to an employee and told her about it. She told me to go to Customer Service to tell them. WTH? Noo... it's not MY job to get you to do YOUR job. I told her that she needs to take it to customer service not me, and these little toys can cause DEATH in children and it's a huge deal she needs to take seriously. I called after I got home and spoke with the manager to say I had mentioned it this morning to an employee that I found them on the shelves and I was making sure they were gone. She said they had been taken off the shelves, but I knew she didn't understand what I was saying so I said, "When I was at your store THIS MORNING they were still on the shelves." She said, "Oh?! They were supposed to be taken off. I'll check on that." So I've done my duty. That's all I can do.
I've started thinking about Thanksgiving. I want to make up the menu pretty soon. I'm sure we'll have a lot of the tried-and-true, but I wouldn't mind making a few modified WW friendly things, too. I'm willing to make all the classics. Just because I make it doesn't mean I have to eat it. Darn well know I'm having Sweet Potato casserole no matter how bad it is for me. That stuff is delicious!
I made an appointment for Maddy's 2nd birthday pictures and maybe a Christmas picture of the three of us. We'll see how hers goes first before we try the three of us. It's not until December 1st and it will take FOREVER to get them back from JC Penny so I don't know if we're going to have them in time for Christmas. Most likely not. I wonder if I could get her 2 year done a bit early?? No harm in that I guess. I'll call in a few minutes to find out.
Speaking of, I have stuff I want to do during her nap. Have a good one!
Tea of the day: Just coffee although the weather is ripe for some tea! Mm...
