Busy Busy

For Etta's birthday, we thought it would be nice to take her to her favorite restaurant for dinner. Due to the way our schedules were for the day, Tom and I chose to meet at the restaurant instead of driving together. Turned out, some of my plans were canceled, so I decided to shop for Etta's slumber party and pick up a few things for Christmas crafts. Which then turned into Etta needing shoes, me needing a sweater or two, oh yes, we needed to take a trip to the local Sam's Club. I got a 2lb 2.5 oz can of coffee at Sam's for $5.00, and at the grocery store, the same can is $9.97. How insane is that?? Needless to say, I will make the trip into town to STOCK up on coffee from now on. Etta also picked her cake while we were there. She chose this butt ugly cake with chocolate icing that looks like it is flavored chocolate and died a muddy brown with squiggly lines all over it. ugh. If I had the time, I would have done it myself and had real chocolate Frosting. The sad thing is, I had something i needed to pick up. The specific reason for going to the Dollar General store. We got the party favors there, ended up with some we didn't plan for. I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was. Oh crap. I wondered around the store, hoping to jog my memory. No go. oh well, there is always tomorrow. Anyway, we finally get to the restaurant and had a wonderful meal. Etta just loves the Hibachi grill. For a kid who hates every new food you put in front of her, she can pack it away at a grill. Even shrimp. She will not even look at it anyplace else. Driving home with our tummies full Etta says, Mom, we forgot balloons. Jeez, That's what i couldn't remember. like i said, there is always tomorrow.
