Time is ticking down...

This is another post I was working on. This was started last weekend.

What a crappy day today. It was raining and a little chilly. I had to wear a jacket. It was also a busy day. Went out shopping with Bill and Cami in the intent of opening a bank account for her and then go get her some shoes and let her spend her gift cards from her birthday.

So we started out at the bank. We both had to sign for her new savings account. She was thrilled to have the account but disppointed that she had to turn over her cash to do it. She wanted to spend it but I told her that there will be a time when she wants to buy something and wont have the money to do it. Plus she had $45 in Walmart cards in her pocket. I think that was enough for her to spend today. She loved the new tshirt and the piggy bank that the bank gave to her. Plus if she does a book report for them, they will put $15 in the bank for her. I will make sure she does that this weekend too.

Then we went to the post office to mail Lindas package. I cant wait until she gets it. There is the watch necklace that she ordered and two gifts from me in it. I know she will love them all. While we were there, Cami and I watched some lady walking around on the post office lawn. She was looking at the bricks on a sort of little park and she was walking backwards in circles. It was odd but at the same time, it was interesting to know what the hell she was doing. I guess people do their own thing. I just hope I dont meet up with her again. Im not sure what she was doing and I didnt want to find out.

Next stop was Walmart. We chose to go to the super one because we were hoping for something different than the local one. The objective to this day of shopping was to get some more stuff for Cami for school and a few shirts for me. I took some money out of my account to do this. Things didnt go as planned.

Went to the store and they went looking for something for her to spend her gift cards on and I went in search of some shirts. I picked out a few and headed for the dressing room. They are doing some remodeling in the store and wouldnt you know it, the dressing rooms are part of it. So I ended up in a room with no mirrors. How are you supposed to try stuff on without a mirror? After about 12 shirts later, I emerged discouraged with one shirt to buy. That put me in an even more sour mood.

On the way home though, there was a car that pulled up along side. It was so hot. 1967 Camaro. When they pulled out of the lot, he slipped the tired a little. I didnt say squealed because thats not what it was. It was a slip on the wet roads. So as we were leaving the lot, he went to the right and we went to the left. I thought for sure he was going to smoke the tires this time but he didnt and I called him a p***y. I didnt mean for it to come out of my mouth out loud but it was funny.

I needed coffee so I stopped at DD for a quick fix. I was too lazy to brew my own at home. Plus I did have one earlier at the bank. Ive become a coffee drinker again. Not a good sign. But it does get me through the day. All in all it wasnt too bad of a day. I got a new shirt and Cami walked out of there with a new shirt, sneakers and three new video games. Two for the DS and one for the computer. None of us is ready for school to start. I think this is why we are so dragged out. Time is slipping really fast. Only a few days left til we go back. Im so not looking forward to it.
