It's been quite the week around here! We got the "winter break" pack of UA basketball tickets so we've been out and about two nights this week. After Monday's game we went to Mimi's Cafe and enjoyed some hot cocoa and fried zuccini (I know, weird combo). Last night's game went to overtime - my voice is still sore from cheering! But, it was lots of fun and we did finally win, so we went home happy.
Yesterday at lunch I did some last minute errand running - stocked up on household items so Bob doesn't have to deal with that while I'm in Michigan (he's a native Arizonan and a Michigan winter is just not something he can handle - so he stays here and we spend some Christmases apart, kind of sad, but it's the cost of living far from family) If we had either toilet paper or Kleenex he'd probably be okay, but we were running dangerously low on both, so I braved the Target. It actually wasn't even too terribly busy. I also picked up a few last minute gifts there. And, it's right next to Michael's so I ran in and discovered that they were having clearance! I got two little tins for storing embellishments and beads, some embossed paper in sage green, and best of all the fun print at home 3x3 mini-albums pictured on the left! They're from Zoom Album and I think they're going to be a fantastic way to carry some of my favorite layouts with me! $9 for three of them in the pack!
Tonight I have to do some laundry, wrap a few more presents, and get packed - soon I'll be off to the frozen north! It's been in the mid-70's here, so I think I might just freeze to death in Michigan! But, even though I'll be cold and miss Bob, I am excited to see my family and spend some time with them!
And, finally a parting quote for the day - came in my Sojourner's newsletter today - I can't resist this kind of irony . . .
"I tried to watch President Bush's speech, but I couldn't; there was no electricity."
