Despite my best efforts, I could not secure a subbing job for today, but no worries. I had plenty to keep me busy at home.
Well, best laid plans often change, and such was the case for me when I had the wonderful fortune of talking to a friend on the phone.
“Where are you right now?” she asked.
“Target…duh…” I said (yeah, I’m that intelligent sounding in real life).
“Wanna meet me for lunch? I have a buy one get one free coupon,” she said.
“Count me in,” I said, and she said she would pick me up at my house at an agreed-upon time.
This is where the fun began. When she arrived at my house, I saw this…our ride for the day…
Can you say MIATA! Only one of my favorite cars EVER!
And look at the sky as we drove…clear, blue, and the perfect temperature at 76 degrees…
I told her it was too bad we weren’t 20 years younger and headed to the beach. She chuckled.
We headed to a small hot dog place downtown…nearly standing room only. But we took our food outside and ate there. My chili dog was DIVINE!!
After we finished, we stopped at an antique store next door, where I spied these…
I think they are both spinning wheels (the prices certainly pointed in that direction). I couldn’t locate pedals, so I have no idea how you actually spin the fiber. Ideas, anyone?
Regardless, I was giddy with excitement because four years ago, I wouldn’t have had a clue what they were.
Then, we headed to Joann’s, where I picked up a new row counter. I lost my green one (my favorite because it locks) yesterday when I subbed. My friend and I had a good time looking around the store, getting lots of ideas for gifts.
After a quick run to Ross, we dashed into Bed, Bath, and Beyond…where I spotted this…
Yes, you’re reading the box correctly…Snuggie for Dogs. Can you believe it? Now you AND your dog can lounge around the house this winter all wrapped up in warmth and still have limbs free to do whatever you want.
If you don’t like the blue, you can pick up another color…
Too bad they don’t make them for 80 lb dogs. I would love to see Pele in a pink one (I’m so bad).
It was at this point where the fun ended. My friend’s daughter called in an SOS for swim gear, and we had to leave quickly to get it to her.
I’ll be subbing the next two days in a middle school, so I’m really glad I had this fun day to play.
