Still away . . .

Although I am still away in Olympia, I am not as miserable as Monday night. Probably because it took me nearly 2 1/2 hours to walk 6 blocks from work back to the hotel. Now, I was not drunk. I was SHOPPING!!!

There is a great toy store here I thought I'd visit. But I had to stop in a scrapbook store and get a "mystery" bag of paper for my Christmas calendars and more. Then at the toy store I had to look at everything 2 or 3 times before I left. I bought several birthday and Christmas gifts. As I headed back to the hotel, I had to visit a few more little shops in the downtown area. It was such a great time to just LOOK and LOOK without small kiddos. I got more great unique holiday gifts. Now, I just have to remember that I have them in my "secret" spot when December comes along.

Once I finally arrived back at the hotel, I was hungry. Since there is no food service here, I thought I'd headed out and get a little dinner. Well, I ran into a Goodwill store. Again, another great stop to just look at everything. It was more expensive than other thrift stores, but so much cheaper than brand new items. I found a few work shirts, clothes for Zoie, and a Fisher Price baby stroller for Arya for Christmas for only $2.99 rather than the $25 new. It is really cute and just needs a quick cleaning.

I get paid quite well working down here but I spent a lot of my stipend tonight. Oh well, IT WAS FUN!!

I'll be home soon to squeeze my babies and Ty!Yeah!
