play by play

me & the girl are typical homebodies. heaven knows we have plenty of chores, toys, and tivo to watch around our casa. plus, i loathe traffic, we sometimes share "the better car" with our uber-attractive dad/hub, & life is just simpler and happier {or so it seems} when we just chill together in our humble abode. today however, i was in the mood to break out of the norm & run a million errands. actually, only like four...but it seemed like a million. we were out paintin' the town red all the day long!

here's our play by play:

first priority was definitely the grocery store. reason being: all that's been in our fridge for two weeks is mayo, worcestershire sauce that might be older than me, teething rings, and aloe vera gel. I like frys. call me ghetto, but it has the best prices/sales & i've been familiar with where everything is since it was called smiths. {however, i must confess; i do fancy the lighting/wood floors @ safeway, the small-town/tender feel of bashas, and walmart's off-the-hook inexpensivness..but i digress}

next stop was the good ol' united states post office. i usually avoid the p.o. like the plague because i feel like other than joanns fabrics, it takes the cake for having the crankiest workers in the universe! but, we had a few bills/letters to send, stamps to purchase, and a miniature/definitely not that exciting/ghetto-ly wrapped package to send off to my fantabulous sister heidi.
note#1: the lady that helped us was a doll, so helpful & kind. i felt guilty for pre-judging her attitude.
note#2: did you know that stamps are 4-freakin-1 cents now?
note#3: i really need to learn how to pay my bills online.

after our refreshingly short, and surprisingly enjoyable trip to the post office, we headed off to the mall. i had an exchange to make. and an exchange it was. one twenty dollar shirt turned into this large pile of yummy/super sale-cheap & much needed summer-y attire. the best part you ask? not one of these items needs to be worn with an accompanying shade! {'cause let's face it folks, it's too blasted hot in this state for three layers!}

the babe was such a great sport. which was rather appropriate considering she was wearing a very sporty-spice-ish outfit!

on our way home from the mall we stopped by the romney's to drop off a belated shower gift for my cute ex-coworker, amelia. we couldn't remember which house was hers, so we just guessed by spotting the home that was amazingly charming/adorably cozy looking/and perfect in every way. and i guessed correctly.

so, now we are home. chloe's taking a much needed napity-nap & i am {miraculously} preparing dinner for the first time in may. oh wait, in 2007.
on the menu: grilled chicken fajitas w/ homeade salsa.
{tasty}

tonight we plan to have a dunn-moment-of-silence for steve nash & his jacked nose, watch american idol {da-na-na-na-na}, and retire to thy beds & cribs early.
