Shopping Fun

Mom and I went to Trader Joe's today. It was a must on her to-do list since she never gets to go. While we were shopping for some baking supplies, I recalled I needed some almond extract. So, of course, we headed downtown N-ville to Penzey's Spices. After Penzey's, we stopped for brunch at Egg Harbor Cafe, which was a bit of a wait but worth it.

Later, I took a nap, got up and ran, then settled in to watch some NFL Playoff Football.

Not bad for being "mad" at my hubby all weekend. (I'm mad because we did not have our 'date night' this weekend. And I'm really not mad anymore other than it is still the weekend. It probably makes no sense to anyone except me, but eh, oh well.)

Good day and good idea?

Finished Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love. AWESOME book!!!

Worked extra time this past week, so I had today off.

• Slept in


• Raked some leaves


• Went to the library


• Shopped downtown Naperville


• Bought some Penzey's spices


• Bought new running shoes


• Bought a peppermint mocha from Starbucks


• Had a nice dinner with the hubby

Also thought I had a real good name for a daughter (if we have kids). Ready?

Kitten Catman. Mr. Catman laughed out loud at me and told me to ask my mom what she thought. I guess I'll sleep on it, considering we haven't decided if and when we're having kids.
