It was a busy one here, especially without DH. DD had a birthday party to attend yesterday, and we spent some time yesterday morning picking out a gift, then heading to the craft store for more add-ons. I also picked up the tag board for her Halloween costume there. For reasons beyond my ken, she's wants to be a KitKat bar.

I purchased the stuff, stopped at the spice shop for pickling spice for the green tomatoes and also got an apple pie blend and a lovely free sampler of spices. I think it'll be a Christmas gift for someone, but not sure who.

We did lunch at home, got her to the party, I came home and wrote half my midterm exam, then headed back to pick her up. Then a Target trip, where overjoyed to find my favorite shampoo on sale, discovered upon return home that I'd bought the conditioner instead of the shampoo. We had coupons for free burgers so ate them for dinner, got "Rio" on redbox, which she really enjoyed. I dozed through about 20 minutes of it--really need more sleep!

Today was a similar thicket of church, errands, baby shower, laundry, homework, and dinner. DD made her handbell debut at church so we had to stay for both services. After her part at the second service, I hid out in the choir room and read homework, feeling vaguely guilty about working so much on Sunday. But it had to be done.

Now to finish those midterm questions....
