Cat's Away, Sale-ing, P.O., Catch some Z's

My husband is in Wisconsin for the week on business. He'll be home Saturday. He left very early yesterday morning and I miss him already. Even got a little choked up watching him walk to his truck. I'll be glad when he gets home.

I've gotten some great deals shopping lately. Two lovely blouses on sale for about $11 each ($10.60 for one of them), a black skirt on sale for $5.99 (could not believe it when the sales lady told me that total!), great black heels (open-toed, t-strap, ankle-strap) on sale for $24.99. I wore the outfit (new black skirt, one of the blouses - white w/black flowers, new black heels) to church on Sunday (carried a bright pink purse with it) and it just looked so great together. :-)

Need to try to run to the post office today to get a package sent to CO for an online acquaintance. I recorded a preaching tape for him. Can't wait for him to hear it. I still need to record the other two for him.

My daughter's Arwen action figure should get here today or tomorrow. She's been checking the mailbox for the past few days. She can't wait to get it. :-)

Hmm. Well, after sleeping a short while and then getting online, I'm feeling tired again and can't really think anymore. Must go get a few more hours of sleep.

Slow poopin' dog, Auction winner

Temps have cooled down (it was only in the 70s on Saturday and around 80° on Sunday) lately. It should be in the low to mid 80s today. What a relief. Standing in the scorching sun waitin' for my puppy to do his business is unpleasant to say the least. It wouldn't be so bad if he'd get it done quickly, but he likes to stand in the grass sniffing the air, sniffing the ground, pick up leaves and twigs in his mouth. I keep saying, "Go pee-pee cah-cah!" and he just stays in his own happy little puppy world. "Come on, dog. I'm cookin' out here." After awhile, he finally does his business and we can go back inside for relief of another kind. It won't be as unpleasant now that temps have cooled down some.

Won an auction for my daughter (an Arwen action figure) and must purchase a money order (don't trust PayPal) and get it sent today. It's coming from Washington. Don't know how long it'll take to get here.

Got my eye on several other auctions. More LOTR action figures (for my son) and a couple clothing items for myself.

Well, I may go watch a movie now or something.
