I finally had time to go to my public library to pick up my requested books and movies... lo and behold, the libraries closed over the weekend for the holiday.
We drove to several different stores looking for a cheap but decent dresser for Khyla's new room only to be disappointed at the choices or appalled at the prices for a small 3-drawer dresser! After 3 stores and feeling discouraged, we stopped for lunch. My heart was set on a soup and sandwich from Panera Bread but after passing Denny's and seeing their empty parking lot, we stopped there instead.
We pressed on to look for some electronic equipment and movies. I did my usual routine and decided to price check between Best Buy and BJ's. By the time I confirmed that Best Buy once again was the cheaper routine, both Best and BJ's closed. That meant I couldn't do my food shopping as well.
We did however find a decent looking and reasonably priced dresser from Target. The box was heavier than we thought it was but a nice worker came over and helped put the box into the cart. Only we discovered the man wasn't a worker -- he just wore a red shirt. How nice of him! We also had to ask for help getting the box into my car. Wonder how to get the box into the house...
Going home empty handed only led us to Cobblestone Regal Cinemas where we decided to see Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. We had a hard time staying up but we managed by eating popcorn. It's our first attempt to not take a nap in the middle of the day!
Once we got home we were invigorated again and decided to put the dresser together. How did we get the box into the house? By opening up the box and bringing in the parts bit by bit. My hubby's so smart sometimes -- thanks for the tip! Two hours later, success!
Khyla's new bedding
Leftover dinners, nice hot bathes and the start of Hairspray wrapped up our busy day! But we'll have to do it all over again tomorrow!
