My plan was:
Clean the 3 bathrooms, shop for a new set of king size sheets, grocery shopping, shop for a new bathing suit, shop for nicky nacks for my "beach" themed bathroom, eat out for lunch even by myself, maybe rent a great chick flick.
This was my day..............My friend called and asked if I wanted to go shopping. I just realized we didn't even go to the store she mentioned. Why of course, I would love to. Who wants to shop by themselves (well actually I don't mind that), but having someone to eat with is so much better.
Oh before we left though. I got off my plan from the get go. I got one bathroom cleaned and spent a lot of time ironing our new king size comforter on the bed. When they come out of the plastic zipper pouch, there are always creases. I ironed it while it is on the bed. My new iron has about a 20 ft. cord on it. Awesome. Also had to iron the Euro pillow case. That took a while.
The clock was ticking down to pick up time at 11:30 and I had to stop all production and get ready. I realized "ah this is what happens to Fred". You have a daily plan and then things just pop up and you get distracted with something else. Lesson noted.
Judy came by with her two year old granddaughter that is visiting. She was a good little companion. We shopped at Kohls first. I found sheets after gleaning info from another shopper what she recommended and asked if the fitted sheet fit snugly to the mattress? Our current sheets are so baggy and totally unacceptable. I also bought just a bathing suit bottom. My current suit has the little shorts, but they are annoying. I decided since it's Judy that I am swimming with and she doesn't care what I look like - I'm going for a sleek look with no extra coverage.
Next was Tai Pan, but neither of us found anything we liked. We ducked into a Panda Express. I've never been to one. It was okay. Judy's granddaughter saw my egg roll in the baggie and helped herself. She was a great little eater.
Next was Home Goods. I found several things there. Oh and Judy brought over her cast off beach decor' so I didn't even have to look for that. I bought a couple of frames and a few Christmas gifts for grandkids.
We were done by then. Came home and then did all my chores. I watched Labor Day on Netflix. I would have enjoyed something a bit more uplifting than that movie.
Working full time and Fred being retired I no longer have all the hours to myself. I use to resent all my alone time because I didn't know what to do with myself. I had a problem with feeling obligated to be productive in my down time. Now I really miss that and I wish I had more time to just myself without feeling like there isn't enough time for just me and time with Fred.
Sorry it's kind of a boring post. But it was a really great day!
Oh and I forgot that it was Buddy's birthday on Saturday. Even with Shannon's email titled
Pre-Birthday it just didn't sink in.
She scored these ride on toys from a friend.
I wish I could ride them!

Its good hearing that your planned days turn into completely the opposite, just like the rest of us. Please show us your finished bedroom and beachy bath when you're finished with them. I recently bought a couple of the BEST fitted sheets from Target's Threshold collection. They fit better than anything else we've ever tried. We have king size too, so I know about those ones that just don't fit right. Claire's birthday is next week. We'll both have little 3 year old grandkids!
