...I'll just let you figure out why. I'm sure you'll come up with a reason.
Any way, they're off to Florida, the land of college age idiots, retired people, frogs the size of dinner plates and more bugs than I ever want to deal with. Oh and MegaCon. That I wouldn't mind seeing someday, but it's just really not in the cards at the moment. They're headed that way.
As a result, MiniMonster and I cruised off to have lunch with Grandma S. That was pretty fun, though we arrived too early for Wendys to have opened, so we walked through Pier One (they had an very cute very SOFT plush Owl that I would have purchased for Mini (who buried his face in it and hugged it), had it not been 24$)
Since the Owl was too expensive we didn't buy anything, but wandered down a few stores and walked through the used bookstore and walked out with a couple of books for Mini. ((Books I can handle.))
Since he really really likes the Guardians of Gahoole movie, I do kind of want to find him an really kick-ass plush Owl, but I haven't seen anything that makes me want to buy it, or at least not at the listed price. There was an INCREDIBLE art-doll/cloth sculpture Owl from an artist on Deviant Art of an Barn Owl. Really a breathtaking piece, but at 250$... I'd rather buy the one at Pier One, it could probably handle the abuse! I'm not arguing with the price tag, there was an great deal of work in that Barn Owl, but I couldn't personally justify it.
Otherwise I'm debating seeing if Dave will go with me to look at the new Ford Focus model, and see if I like the trunk design. I'm a little tired of popping my trunk open with the windshield scraper when we get ice and snow. And other than that... I'm debating asking if we can trade in my tired little Trac-Phone. It's had a good run, but the battery's aren't doing so hot these days, and the iPhone 3GS is looking pretty shine-tastic.
Mmm. Maybe I can see if they'll get me one for Mothers Day.
