No, I didn't start a local MMO group, although that wouldn't be a bad idea. I did, however, take this morning to get out on my own. I decided that I wanted a morning out and to have a quiet lunch and read or whatever. So I took off about 9:00 this morning and headed to Old Town. Since there is always some inexpensive jewelry to buy and I've been wanting to buy a flowy skirt--sold in abundance there--to wear on the beach on vacation and we needed more coffee--it's the only place to buy any other than instant--I took off.
My first stop was an outdoor store. They carry many name brand outdoor clothing--North Face, Columbia, etc. The best part is they have children's sizes and last year we got Kirby a North Face coat with the zip in fleece. So I went today to see if they had the next size up, and they did. It's about the equivalent of $20. Real or not...who knows? But it looks like the same quality as real and is the same price as poorly made Chinese brand coats and most importantly, both boys have one. No fights. No poked out boo boo lips because they both can't wear the other one. I also got a few necklaces, the flowy skirt I've been eyeing and coffee--which doesn't count as shopping cause it is a neccessity. While I was shopping I got my favorite blended iced coffee drink--just about as close as you can get to a Frappacino around here. I then had a quiet lunch and came home. Other than the fact that I was dripping with sweat, it was a wonderful morning.
In just a bit we are headed off to the pool to begin family night. I'm making Beefy Bean Burritos for dinner(let's hope the homemade salsa turns out as well as the homemade refried beans did), we will probably watch a movie (something short cause the boys haven't napped a bit out of excitement for the pool and will be ready for bed early I suspect) and if I get the notion I may just make the best brownies ever for our dessert. I love days like this. Hopefully tomorrow will be easy and relaxing. Stan has earned a 'day off' for sure!
