and now, for a completely useless & boring recounting of my day

went to cheeseburger charley's with speedy & junior [blue coast closed on sunday nights until next week], after having gone to home depot [purchased a plant, which i plan to keep alive, thank you very much], after having gone to the grocery [it was cold enough to keep the groceries fine in the car, except the ice cream, which totally melted. oh, just kidding, ya big goofball. didn't get any ice cream], after having gone to big lots of snot [details to follow], after having downloaded the tax documents [b/c i refuse to pay turbo tax's ransom], after having paid the bills [whew], after having had lunch [cottage cheese & olives], after having gone for a short run [3 miles], after having messed with my old man's ipod [really do hate itunes], after having had breakfast [poptarts].

compared to dollar tree, big lots of snot is like tiffany's. it's simply not the bargain bin it once was. did find:
-- a pair of foster grants for $8 - handy for running & biking, as i demolished the last cheep sunglasses by... oh... attempting to put them on my head. yes, that takes coordination and effort, so don't try it at home, kids.
-- $2 pack of mechanical pencils for my old man to take to school so he can hand them out to the kids who "forgot" their pencils and want to go to their lockers.
-- plastic folders for use in the handy box clipboard - oh, yeah!
-- 2 $4 packs of hanes her way tee shirts.
-- 3 pairs of pantyhose, for like $2 each. can you believe what some women pay for pantyhose? i just snag all mine anyway, so why pay more than $2 for that experience. [pretty woman: "i've got a runner in my paynteehose. i'm not wearing any paynteehose!" -- stellar line]

currently watching lady 'dores v. lady tigers in the s.e.c. women's championships. go 'dores!
