met mom & leyton for lunch at culver's. yummmmmmy!
we had so much fun, and i loved spending time w/ them! : ) leyton asked gramma to buy a soccer ball for him, and she did.
then, as we left, leyton wanted his coat put on backwards... LOL too funny, that kid!
we took him home & then mom & i went to see Just Go With It. it was really sweet, and i actually believed the chemistry btwn adam sandler & jennifer aniston, which i hadn't been sure about previously. sweet, sweet movie! not so sweet - when i was in the bathroom, a little girl stuck her head under the stall into mine. thankfully i was clothed and not actually on the toilet at the time she did this. talk about traumatizing! i looked at her & said, "hello. this is very rude." her family members were outside, so i said something to them. one girl got snotty w/ me (excuse me? apparently rudeness runs in this family?!) but the little girl's mom was very apologetic.
anyway! mom & i went to gander mtn to find a new coat since mine looked like crap & that's where we'd gotten it from... 4 years ago. i loved that coat, only partially because it was comfy and big. it wasn't even particularly warm, but it did the job. i loved it because we bought it right after daddy died, w/ a gift card he'd been given while in the hospital or for his birthday. i didn't tell mom why it meant so much to me. idk why i didn't tell her. i just let her think i didn't care about looking like a ragamuffin. (which i don't.. it really did look awful, was ripping everywhere... *sigh*) but it was like one of my last gifts from dad or something. :( i had to throw it away today, and it was hard, but i promised mom i would, so i did. i mean, i understand it's not practical to keep it around when it's trashy & i won't be wearing it ... but it was still hard. i'm okay, tho, just wanted to share my thoughts.
i do really like the new coat. we didn't find it at gander mtn - we went to becca's store, actually. and it looks almost identical to my other one, except instead of gray thermal inside it's soft, blanket-like material.
had to stop at WM after the coat purchase, to get TP & soda, waffles & breakfast sammiches. : ) saw anna as she was leaving, which was a nice surprise! when i got home, bret got a call about church or something, and i asked about his evening group. i told him to go ahead & borrow the car to go at 7, because he'd been stuck in the house all day & hadn't been able to go to service this morning cuz he didn't have a ride. he's supposed to get up early tomorrow to take me to work & then use the car to go job hunting, but he's not home yet so hopefully he'll still be ready to get up in the morning! *laugh*
i got to watch survivor finally (rob!! russell!!), and then CSI NY and kitchen nightmares. and i got to chat w/ april for a bit! hooray!! : )
but now i must get to sleeep! : ) have a great monday - do you have to work like me or do you get president's day off as a holiday? if you get to have a holiday, what're you going to do w/ it? do share!! lol
ttfn! : )
i hope you kept your old coat still... reading that hurt my heart but also showed me how wonderful you truly are that you couldn't tell your Mom to perhaps not upset her... i adore you!
ReplyDeleteand wish i could have hugged you!
xoxo
aww, thanks, micaela! *hugs* i was going to keep the coat, but i didn't. because i told mom i would throw it away, i did. however, i have an old bomber jacket that actually WAS dad's, and maybe one of these days after i've lost another 30 lbs or so, i'll be able to wear it. : )
