This weekend, Ben came down and we had one of our “old times” days. We ate at Macado’s, shopped around the mall, watched Robin Hood, True Blood, The Backyardigans (sorry, Ben!), Dexter, and RHNJ. There are probably more, but that’s all I can remember this late in the game. Our visit to Macado’s was made even better by the bill coming to -$.04. Christmas gift card in action! Our trip to Border’s was also made better by yet another old gift card. My purchase of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Demigod Files and the Doctor Who Magazine? FREE as well. Woot! I saw a few of “my kids” which made the day even better. Good times!

Monday, Flo came up and we, too, went to Macado’s and the mall. While nothing was free, I was able to spot some wicked new shoes to purchase. I got a pair of K-Swiss sneakers and some brown utility shoes. I also splurged on some white gold hoops. LOVE them. Flo and I talked a little school, a little fashion, and a little crap about others. All-in-all? Another great day.

The fam is still on vacation, so I’m on pet patrol. It’s my job to check on everyone’s cats and make sure they are fed, watered, and litterbox ready. I feel so important.
