Memoriable Morning

This morning was much like any morning we would have had at home.
THGGM needed a cell-phone charger because he left his in Illinois.
I cannot recall how many places we went to try to buy one, but after many wild-goose chases (stores not open, not where we were told they were, didn't have it) he found one.

Plugged it into the car-jack only to discover that it doesn't work. Neither of them.

Went back and got the kind that plug into the wall. That seems to be working, so if you were expecting a call from us and didn't get one, that's why.

All that stress (haha) caused me to need to draw. There's a Micheal's
right down the street from us, and I remembered to bring my 50% off coupon.

So, I am in the lovely air-conditioning (it is TOO hot to be outside right now) drawing while THGGM relaxes at the pool.

Can you tell that we are missing Baby Boy?

I couldn't resist this book!

And Grandpa couldn't resist
the already on-sale plus an extra 20% off outfit.

For being a resort town on a holiday, we were the only people in the kid's store in the mall.

We made friends with the helpful sales woman.

They had a shirt with a crab on it, and the word "Crabby". THGGM pointed it out to me and said "Oh, look hon, maybe they have this in your size!"

Without missing a beat she responded "No. We don't. But we have it in YOUR'S."

I liked her. Maybe we will have to go back and get the crabby shirt for Baby Boy. Although, I've never seen him crabby.

And, for the record. I AM NOT CRABBY! I'm just an INTJ who thinks the world would run a bit smoother if people (who?) would just buy the cell-phone charger in their own hometown! You know, where we KNOW where the store is located.

Over at the Menopausal Mamas site...not sure I sent you that one...but they have the cutest cartoon with that old cranky lady (is her name Maxine?) and it says something like this: Ever notice how the person who tells you to calm down is the one who got you mad in the first place? HA!

You did indeed find a kindred spirit in that sales lady...the idea, calling you crabby! What a thing to say on one's anniversary trip. Well, with your skills you could always paint a t-shirt or sweatshirt for "crabby" for his birthday or some sort, right? heehee...
