a good day :)
July 25, 2009So my day started by taking a trip to Morgantown with my best friend, her daughter, and mother. I haven’t been there in two years and I like going – we hit the Super Goodwill store, the Windmill restaurant, a scratch and dent store and a grocery/fabric store (yes, it’s a combo – weird, huh?)
I got a new jacket, pants, a few books, two patio chairs (dirt cheap) and a couple of little presents for Christmas (I like to plan ahead) Then had a delicious chicken parm sandwich for lunch. Then on to the scratch and dent store – nothing much of interest, but I did pick up 7 cover girl eyeliners for a buck a piece, and some foundation also cheap. Hit the grocery store after (I visited the fabric area – be still my heart!) and bought a half yard of some Ronald McDonald fabric (for a R McD cross stitch I’ve been working on forever), two fat quarters of some pretty prints and a few skeins of WDW floss. Whew – good day, right?
I get home and about half hour later, I hear my daughter screaming for me (I’m out back, trying to maneuver the two chairs in a too small doorway) and the fire alarm is shreiking. Good Lord, I almost had a heart attack! She tells me there is smoke in her room – I run upstairs and see it is true, I think the fan must be broken, or the outlet blew, but I can’t find the source of the smoke. After a few minutes, we realize the knucklehead next door is grilling on the teeny tiny little patio out back that we share, and the smoke is coming from there. Jeez, my heart was racing and my hands were shaking for a good fifteen minutes! That is my worst fear – that a fire will break out in my house!
But all’s well that ends well, and there was no fire (thank GOD!)
How was YOUR day?
