Good News, The Mall Has a Pharmacy

It's good news because I decided that if the mall has a pharmacy and you need to stop in it, then your trip to the mall counts as a) exercise AND b) errands. But before we got to the mall we

1) Stopped at Staples to drop off a UPS package. I come out of the store, push my cart into the back of the last cart in the row and prepare to walk away when I notice the cart at the front of the row has somehow dislodged itself. I then look on in horror as the cart picks up momentum, jumps the curb, and continues down into the parking lot. I'm seriously thinking about whether I'm going to have to try to stop this cart from hitting some body's car with the car seat in tow. Does it slow down? No, of course not. The cart keeps building up speed as it hurtles across the parking lot. It was ok though I was finally able to ascertain that it was going to crash into a dumpster and not a car and kept on going.

2) At the mall, I redeemed my Gymbucks. I wasn't brave enough to make it to the smash and grab sale last week but the coupon wasn't limited to stuff on sale anyway. I bought her some cute stuff in the next size up for summer. Presumably she'll be wearing the next size up by then. Even though the coupon was for 25 off your purchase of 50 or more and I thought I was careful about what I was buying, I somehow managed to spend 50 anyway. I think it was the sunglasses that threw me over. But come on, a girl needs sun glasses. Ben looked at me the other day as I was showing him something I picked up and he narrowed his eyes and said oh, that's terrible, you wanted a girl all along from the very beginning didn't you? He doesn't understand that there's a whole constellation of dresses out there ripe for the wearin'.

3) Nordstrom keeps the Robeez right at the entrance of the lounge area and I'm sure that it's no accident. I looked at them before she was born and every time I go in there since. Finally I caved and bought her shoes. I thought for sure I wanted the Robeez and it was just a matter of picking the style but these Pedipeds are so freakin cute! I can't stand it. I would have bought them for myself if I could have.

4) If there's no medical reason to take cough syrup by liquid rather than by capsule... why the hell do people do it? Dayquil tastes like it could strip paint it's just ridiculous.

5) Went to Michael's bought a sheet of mat board to finally frame the artwork Danielle had drawn for Chase. It's a windy day... do you know what happens to a sheet of mat board on a windy day? That's right folks, it turns into a giant sail :) AND as a bonus it's exactly the size of my trunk. Fun :)
