What they say about taking a list to the store...

...is SO true!

Okay, so I forgot my list. I had about a whole 5 items listed--all odds and ends that are located in every separate department of that store, of course. Matthew and I put our heads together, and come up with the basics that we thought were on the list; pantyliners for me...litter for the cat...yarn for me....okay, what else? M says, how about new curtains for my room? Well, as long as that particular aisle is right in front of us....Two sets of curtains and rods later....

Hey, the paint department is right here, too! Let's look at paint for M's room. One gallon of green, and a quart of rusty yellow/orange later (pretty much the same shades as on my blog page)--along with masking tape--we head towards ladies' socks department. Whattaya know, aren't these new vacuum cleaners pretty? yeah, you guessed it, a new Bissell ends up in the cart.

We finally get to the yarn and throw that in the cart...finally get to the socks and throw them in the cart. Let's see, I think we just need a few groceries....(M says) Mom, I need new tennis shoes. I don't know what they have against kids, but this store's selection of shoes are baby, toddler, and then jump to adults. But, we do manage to find a pair for him--ONE in his size.

By this time, I'm pretty much shopped out, and I have to go to the bathroom really bad. Off to the grocery section and throw in a few items, and we're outta there with over $100.00 more spent than originally planned. Good thing it was payday yesterday.

Of course, now that I have the paint, I need to actually be productive and USE it! :o Egads, I can hardly walk in that room much less empty it out enough to get to the walls and paint them. :p
