I don't understand. I feel great one day, and the next, I'm back to feeling crappy. So, I pretty much lie around the house. Most wouldn't complain, but I wish I wasn't so antsy and could relax. I get bored way too easily! ;) I get up and shower to get around and head to Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I absolutely love that place! And the three-story BB&B here, is amazing! You have so many choices, you don't know where to start! And they already have Christmas stuff out! How crazy is that? It's not even Halloween yet! Which, by the way, I cannot wait for! A fabulous parade in the East Village is all the rave, and I for one cannot wait to attend!
On my way home from BB&B, I run into a friend. It's strange because I was just thinking how it would be nearly impossible to run into someone you know on the streets. Well, as Tasty Tacos (the best Mexican restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa) says, "Nada es Impossible." It is fun and reminds me of home--except I'm not at Wal-Mart, pushing a cart full of ridiculously, cheap-priced, yet highly appreciated groceries! ;) Nor are there those "heavy" people, taking advantage of the scooters Wal-Mart offers to make shopping quicker and much more fluid. ;)
On my way home, I stop at The Bread Factory and get some great-tasting Chicken Noodle Soup. I'm not a big soup fan, at all really, but I figure it's what's best to cure this gross virus. And guess what's next door? Pinkberry! So, of course I have to go in! What is a better healer than Fro-Yo topped with strawberries, raspberries, and honey oat granola? Nothing! ;) I wish I could ship it home because everyone in Iowa would rave over it!
The night brings a resting one. The weekend was jam-packed full of food, alcohol, friends, and great music. Time to relax before the busy week begins! To a relaxing Sunday! Cheers! ;)
Note to self: Go to a destination with a list of things to buy. On "Money Saving Deals with Sandra Lee," they tell you that over 50% of grocery purchases are spent on impulse buying. This proves to be true at a three-story home store. All of a sudden, you find things that you do not really need, but end up buying because you convince yourself otherwise. Go prepared. You will end up saving a lot of money! ;)
