a trip to target

today was kinda a wacky day.  i was up early.  i slept well (yay!).  so many crazy things going on at work, i don't even know how to explain them!  day went by suuuper fast, tho!  the boss came in this morning & said a line from the turkey drop episode of WKRP, and then ended up pulling the scene up on his phone, and leaving while 3 of us watched/listened to it.  HILARIOUS!  did you ever watch WKRP?  ("in ciiiincinaaaatttiiii")  i love it!  johnny fever, venus flytrap, randy travis, les nessman... the whole cast full of hilarious and talented actors!  


anyway, so that was a good middle to the morning!  : )  


i left at 5 & met mom & the boys at chick fil a for dinner.  except i was way earlier than them cuz they got a late start, and i had to potty, so i just went in... oh my goodness, the anxiety this would normally have caused me!  PTL i hardly had a twinge, tho, maybe because it was just a good day or maybe because i know them/they know me there and so it was a "safe" place for me.  the manager opened up a line & waited on me himself, and we chatted & whatnot.  i sat down & actually ate some of my food while playing on FB & waiting.  


mom & the boys were in moods, but only little ones, and it was a good hang out anyway.  the cow was there, which leyton LOVED!  there would have been some cute pictures except my camera was at home because i haven't changed back to my normal purse yet.  d'oh!  one of dad's friends/former co-workers who retired from that job now works at CFA, so we visited w/ him a bit.  he's a greeter/host/not sure what you call him, but he's perfect for the job cuz he's friendly & chatty!!  


leyton did get a little overwhelmed in the play area when there were some really loud girls in there! oh, but the craft tonight was decorating flower "pots" & planting seeds.  leyton made his pretty much right after getting to the restaurant (first thing he saw was the cow & made a bee line to say hi before he'd even taken his coat & hat off!!).  : )  a little later, there was a small boy, maybe leyton's age or a little younger, and he came over to look at the "pot" so leyton told him where he could go to make it & mom was like, ask your mommy or daddy, and so leyton went over to this little boy's dad to tell him where he could go to make the flowerpot!!  it was too cute!  he has such a generous heart, i pray that the Lord protects it!


i love my phone, btw.  so grateful to aunt jan for even getting me started w/ a cell phone, and to mom for buying this one for christmas!  i got to IM w/ april for a bit, just enough to hear a little about her day & for mom to say hi, but the fact that we could chat even briefly in IM format (which, is basically texting only faster, right??) while i'm at CFA... idk, was just a little amazing & stuff.  *laugh*  


so, after dinner & hanging out, i headed over to target to get the new Yanni cd to prepare for the concert (2 days!!!!) & i also planned to pick up SMK season 2.  first of all, i found these adorable lindt/lindor chocolate bunnies & frogs & carrots... and some chocolate eggs, and easter baskets for the boys.  haven't decided if i'm going to mail easter baskets to all the nieces & nephews yet, but if i remember next week, i probably will.  : )  i found a cuuuuute purse that i might get later, too - it's just like my purple purse only smaller!  mmmm!  oh oh oh!!!  while i was in the chocolate aisle, there was a guy looking for suckers.  so i was helping him look, cuz all we could find was chocolate.  so, he found a big bag of lollies, finally (dum dums, woot!) and he said, "how do you like them apples?!"  and i burst out laughing & said, quite truthfully and amused, "oh my heck, i've had that line going thru my head all week!!"  i've also used it a couple times this week in random conversation, and marianne watched good will hunting the other night, which of course made me think of it even more.  LOL  just funny how things happen like that sometimes!!  


what else?  oh, i found a FLUFFY ("it's so fluffy!") soft lamb for leyton.  or me.  or leyton.  or more likely me.  *laugh*  anyway, found a lamb, it's adorable, and it will be living w/ someone who will love it & squeeze it.  : )  i got the yanni cd, and also the Voices cd because i didn't get it from the last tour.  then i looked for SMK.  and looked.  and looked.  *cry*  alas, it was not there!!  what the heck, super target?  that was SO not super of you!  *pout*  


i guess i'll have to check out WM tomorrow after all.  april & i are hoping to watch an episode "together" on sunday!  : )  (our obsession w/ SMK - she is a bigger fan, i can admit it, but only because she has touched the greatness that is bruce boxleitner.  *wink* - is a long and beloved tradition!)


anywhoo... bret wanted to use the car, so i came home & watched White Collar (neal!!  peter!!) and mr. sunshine (LOL) & read some blogs.  bloggity.  


oh, and received a postcrossing from australia!!  :  )   

i think that's all i have for you today.  i feel like today should have been friday because this week has been so loooong!  but TGIF & praying that all the achiness will go away & that it'll be a wonderful, fabulous day for all of us!  *hugs*  take care & TTFN!
