Friday, February 13, 2015

     Today was a great day!  Hubby had the day off since he had to work on Saturday here in the Springs.  Next Saturday hubby has to work in Denver, but for today, he was off.  We slept in and woke up slowly.  Hubby had gotten up earlier and opened the door for the dogs, but forgot to turn off the heat.  Got to get him to remember that!  That's probably one of the reasons why our heating bill was so high last month!
     So I got the heat turned off.  And we relaxed for a few hours before getting showers and getting dressed.  We had to run a couple of errands today.  The first errand was to take my phone in to Batteries Plus to get a new battery and a new charger.  Batteries Plus is in the neighborhood so inspite of being hungry, we went there first.
     I gave them my phone and they took off the cover and discovered it was one of their batteries.  They looked up the date and we identified our credit card.  It showed that I bought the battery and a charger less than a year ago.  He tested the battery then the charger and found them both to be defective so he replaced them, free of charge.  Yeah!  So Batteries Plus has a customer for life!
     Next we went next door to Rescue Thrift Store, a thrift store that operates to raise funds so they can give $500 grants to different rescue organizations.  We found a couple of books and a zombie dvd, Diary of the Dead.  I also saw Hymalian Chews, a product I saw on Shark Tank not long ago.  They make chews out of yak and cows milk, salt and lime.  Totally edible by dogs and people.  They were expensive, 3 for $28 but I decided to try them for my dogs, so I bought them.  Not that we have any money to splurge right now but since I didn't have to pay for the battery and charger, I felt like the thrift store could use the money and my dogs could use a treat.
     Then we went to Gunther Toody's for lunch.  Hubby got the special, french dip with fries and a bowl of green chili while I got the Taco Salad without the chicken.  The food was good and we ate most of it.  I had extra sour cream and guacamole I didn't use on my salad so I got containers and brought them home to eat with chips and salsa later.
     After lunch we went to Walgreens to get some cash for hubby to go pick up his pot.  He has a medical marijuana license so we get some about every two weeks.  The last two things we needed to do was get my hair cut and pick up 3 packs of little smokies sausages and bbq sauce for my pot luck tomorrow at the zoo.  So hubby dropped me off to get my hair cut while he went next door to King Soopers and bought the food.
     The stylist who did my hair cut my hair but pulled and tugged while drying and gave me a punk style cut.  She didn't cut much off the top and had it standing up.  I also asked for white walls, the hair around my ears to be cut short enough that there would be skin showing.  I don't like having my hair on my ears.  She did cut my bangs short like I wanted but even hubby says I need to go back in and get it re-cut.
     We got home and went upstairs to lay down and relax.  We watched a little of Apprentice UK on YouTube, some Major Crimes, and we watched the Diary of the Dead.  We were both so full from a late lunch, we didn't want any dinner.
