Today was a me day. Woke up around 8am. Hubby was already up but came back in the bedroom to ask me if I wanted to walk the dogs but I told him no. I thought he was just asking to make me feel better and didn't really want to, so I didn't want to force him. But when I asked him about it later, he said no, he really would have walked with me, so I told him next time would be great.
So I started reading and ate a cup of yogurt, took my morning pills. Hubby eventually got ready adn left for work at 1030am. Before he did that, he came upstairs and told me that my copy of Beauty and the Beast, my special Disney VHS tape, in perfect condition, just sold for $500.00. I asked him how much my copy was worth. He said the tape is in perfect condition but the box is a little marked so it probably was only worth about $250. Sell it! was my response. So he went downstairs to do that. But there was a problem with his eBay account to he spent his time before getting ready for work fixing that. Then he ran out of time to do it will will have to do it after he came home tonight or tomorrow when he is off.
I stayed in bed and read until 1130am. Then I got up and got dressed and went to Village Inn. I ate a Belgium Waffle with strawberries and drank a coke. I stayed there drinking coke until I finished my book a little while later.
I drove over to the Salon and got a gel manicure and a deluxe pedicure. I was just going to get a regular manicure but they said the gel manicure is guaranteed not to chip for two weeks so I decided to give it a try. You can't take the gel polish off with regular nail polish remover so you have to go back in to change it. But I decided to give it a try. They use special polish that you dry each layer under a ultraviolet light. I got a yolky egg yellow base color with a gold glitter top coat. Then they put on a base and a top coat. It's dry right away.
I got a deluxe pedicure. The guy did a really long massage with the salt scrub and lotion. So nice! I also enjoy the hot parafin wax for the feet. My legs and feet are so soft and moisturized now! I got a dusty yellow color for my toes.
When I was done I walked over to Hancock Fabrics and bought 3 yards of a pretty fabric that was marked down to $2.80 a yard. I also found two packs of special bobbins for my Brother sewing machine. If you don't use their bobbins, the machine will tangle the thread. I also got some thread to use with the fabric.
My next stop was Kum and Go. Even though we have new tires and don't need to get air anymore, I wanted a cold glass of tea and their tea isn't bitter. They were out of sweetened tea so I got the last of their unsweetened tea and a little raspberry tea. When I got to the register, I told them they were now out of both teas and they thanked me and told me that my tea was free. Is it any wonder that I love this store?
I headed to Walmart. I needed to get 20 cans of cat food, 16 cans of dog food, fish filters, two different kinds of bird seed for the cockatiels, cereal, corn tortillas, salsa, and a couple of other things. All in all, Frank was able to carry all the bags in the house at once and it cost me $98. Wow!
Then it was 5pm and I was hungry, so I stopped at Taco Bell. I ate a bean burrito with extra onion, a cheese quesadilla, an apple empanada and a Pepsi. I started reading my new book, 2030. It's about America in the not too distant future. They have found a cure to most cancers so people are living longer. There is a glut of seniors. There is a youth movement that resents seniors and the burden they put on the youth to support them. They inherited the huge national debt, the lacking resources and more. I got through the first chapter and it is interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing this alternate reality.
When I got home, I made the meatloaf for the boys. I used two pounds of hamburger, 5 eggs, ketchup, mustard, worchester sauce, heaping tablespoon of minced garlic, parsley, mince onions, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and shredded oatmeal bread. I baked it at 360 for one hour after putting it in a 9x13 pan in a ring with the center open. Cooks faster that way.
I was going to make mashed potatoes from scratch but since I was out all day, I picked up instant from Walmart and make those. Then I made a tomato sauce from two cans of tomato soup with spices in it. I cooked the sauce separately in a pan to let the guys ladle it over their food themselves. That way they could use the meatloaf to make sandwiches and not have the sauce slopping on the bread. Both of them really liked it. Frank even said he normally doesn't like meatloaf very much but like this a lot and would definitely use it to make sandwiches. Score!
Hubby didn't get home until 930 so I sat with him while he ate and then we retired upstairs.
