For the most part the weather did not bother me much. Well, there was this horrific scene I made in the grocery store parking lot that did bother me quite a bit. My next door neighbor, Judy was having a birthday party for her sweet little granddaughter from Chicago. I offered to pick up some balloons on Saturday morning because the party started at 9:30 a.m. and I knew Judy would be busy. I rolled into my awesome HEB at about 8:20 this morning and there was a very kind young woman working in the floral department. She was able to fix me right up with my eight balloons. She even put them in a giant plastic bag because it was really windy out with the cold front that blew in last night. I paid for them and arranged them really firmly in my hand to get them out to my car. I exited the grocery store and the wind was whipping like crazy and the bag was making all kinds of racket. I made it to my car and opened the back seat door to shove them in. When I tell you I battled that damn bag of balloons for five minutes it is no lie. I would get one part of the bag into the car and the wind would gust and blow the whole contraption back out and right into my face. I was flapping and floundering and trying not to let the plastic suffocate me! Finally, I got them in and slammed the door shut. I felt like I had been accosted. I wish I could have video taped it.
The precious little nugget had a great time at her purple dinosaur party, so it was totally worth it!
Here are the balloons that tried to kill me.
All this sweet baby wanted to do was push this grocery cart EVERYWHERE!
And eat goldfish!
Grandma's pride and joy!
In other news....I went shopping this afternoon for something to put on my new coffee table.
Now, if my dog would only let me put out my throw pillows without tearing them to shreds!
And last, but not least, I finally hit the button on my tax return. Happy to have that finished!
Hope your Saturday was great!
