For someone who considers themselves fairly anti-social, we sure do get around, lol. Saturday we went to my best friend's house. We went for two reasons, for Tabitha to have a playdate and, more importantly, for me to get my Girl Scout cookies!! We are enjoying them and I don't imagine they'll last much longer around here :) On the way home I got a hankering for veggie sushi and I can always get some at Trader Joe's. I didn't want to go to the one we usually go to because I would have to pass our house by about 7 miles and then back track home and that just didn't appeal to me. So I called Chris and had him look up their website on the internet and find one in a city we would go through on our way home. We were in luck, as he found one for us. But or luck did not hold out, they were completely out of veggie sushi! I was so bummed as that's the only reason we went there. But there was a Lakeshore Learning store near by so we decided to check it out. I didn't find anything of use for us but we enjoyed looking around. Then we decided to stop at the Borders that was so close. I did get another Gifted and Talented workbook for Tabitha since she had finished her first one. Why she likes workbook pages so much, I'll never know. She does them for fun, they aren't even a part of lessons most times. I guess they are like puzzles to her and no different than me doing logic problems for fun.

After we'd been home for a couple hours, I was still thinking of the veggie sushi that I had wanted for dinner. So I convinced the child (read: bribed) to accompany me to the TJ's we usually shop. I found what I was looking for and then we went to Target so I could get Tabitha a promised My Little Pony and we also found her a cute shirt and a drawing pad. When we got home she drew 4 pictures and gave up story time in order to continue drawing.

Sunday morning, we all went to the LA Zoo for a sticker scavenger hunt they were doing. It stunk. The activity had so much potential and it just wasn't fun. We had an okay time at the zoo just being there, but it wasn't what we expected. Once home, we had lunch and such and then all three of us worked in the front yard. Tabitha loves pulling weeds and there were plenty for her to pull. Then she asked to sweep, so of course I didn't say no!

Today, Chris had class in the morning, of course, and then he did some studying in our room while Tabitha had a friend come over. M is from Mommy and Me class (though she attends with her grandmother) so they've known each other for a while but have never had a playdate. Tabitha had been asking me to have her come over for a few weeks now so I finally got that arranged. They seemed to have quite the fun time and I enjoyed talking to M's grandmother for a few hours.

After they left, we had lunch and then went out to the bookstore. My mil mentioned wanting John Grisham's new book and tomorrow is her birthday so we got it for her. Then we went to the mall to get her a card and do general shopping... and eat our traditional cookie from Mrs. Fields. We also stopped into Ross and I found a couple shirts for Tabi, one is Powerpuff Girls and the other is Disney Princess. Now we're each kicking back in our own way before we go out to dinner for my mil's birthday.

Whew! I'm tired all over again just from typing it all out, lol.
