09/10/2005 Archived Entry: "up all night, not sleep all day"

Chris and I got caught up in wasting time last night. We stayed up until close to 1, he was playing a baseball game and I was having fun on ebay searching Mr. Potato Head items for Tabitha's birthday party (in January). One isn't exactly super late, but it is when we knew at least one of us would have to get up last night. In the end we both took a turn getting up. Then we all got up at 7 this morning to get going for the day. We headed out early to walk around the mall near the Chuck E. Cheese the birthday was being held. Chris scored some shirts and a coat at Hot Topic for 50% off the clearance price. Only a couple Hot Topics have the extra percentage off so we were even more pleased with our purchase.

Chris ended up dropping the three of us off at the party so he could head into a local store of his company and make a purchase and also read work email to see if anything needed his immediate attention. He wasn't gone long at all and joined as at the party. He spent most of the time running after the birthday girl's younger brother while I held Daisy and followed Tabitha around. Man does she love that place. It was only her second visit, the first being a birthday last year. She was pleased with her amount of tickets and traded them in for cheap crap that makes her happy.

As we were walking to the car after the party, I realized I forgot to go to the Clinique counter. I really didn't want to go back to the same mall, so instead we stopped at a different one on the way home. Tabitha found a doll at Children's Place she didn't have and I found a cheetah print beret to go with Daisy's onesie she got on the fall shopping trip Monday.

We ended up not going to the beach party because it's too darn cold for the beach and it just would have been too much going on. I'm a bit sad as I kind of wanted to go just to see everyone. But on the other hand, I don't know that I would have enjoyed being that cold and I don't actually like the beach. Tabitha didn't know about it so she wasn't disappointed though I fear one of her friends saying something to her. I'll deal with that if and when it happens.
