The Perfect Day of Shopping

Is that an oxymoron? It can't be because it just happened for us! We had the greatest day of shopping we've had in a long, long time. This morning started off with a bran muffin, hot chocolate and some fried apples at Cracker Barrel. I ate light but trust me, Jason made up for that. After that we went directly across the street to Academy where Jason bought me a mini trampoline and a pair of boxing gloves for my workouts. I was also able to find the cutest shirt and sweater set and a much-needed pair of workout pants. Jason got plenty of gear as well. We also picked up a few of our Christmas gifts for the family. After that we headed back to the hotel for a bit of rest. We left again to head to Sam's Club to get my new membership card and ended up buying TONS of bulk stuff; Slim Fast (less than half the price of what it is back home), Ibuprofen, oatmeal, hot chocolate and whey powder for Jason. All in all, much better than we expected to do there! We then headed to the mall to pick up a few more gifts and ate lunch at Chick-fil-a. We kind of struck out on gifts; only found one present and some new nose rings for me, but it was fun to look around. After that we headed to Mervyn's where we really got things moving! I found two more really cute shirts and found gifts for more family. After that we went to Barnes and Noble (for ourselves) and then to Hobby Lobby (again for stuff for us).

We ended the day with naps in our hotel room until it was time to go to dinner. We had a great meal at Olive Garden. I had a great meal. The Chicken and Gnocchi soup there is so delicious! Jason had his usual Chicken Parmesan and loved it as usual! We've been back at the hotel room relaxing ever since.

I picked up two great books at Barnes and Noble. I got The Big-Ass Book of Crafts by Mark Montano and The Confetti Cakes Cookbook by Elisa Straus. I've browsed through both of them, and I know I love them already!! There are some great crafts in the craft book that I know I want to try.

Well, I'm off to read until I pass out! This is by far one of the best days in a long time!
