Kid in a Candy Store

Today Rob & I went shopping.... alone... kids free....just being a couple. We rarely ever get a free moment where kids aren't screaming at each other or at us. So I jumped at the chance of procuring a babysitter for the day.

For lunch we met my A. Cheri, Mom, and sis Jordan at Olive Garden. It was oh so good! I can't get enough of their salad.

After lunch we did a lot of shopping, mostly buying house stuff. I also bought myself a few items like new shoes, hair stuff, and some new books!!

I am like a kid in a candy store when I'm in a book store. I could spend the entire day there. I get excited just thinking about going. Maybe I should have been a librarian.

Books I purchased today are:

* Dream A Little Dream By: Susan Elizabeth Phillips
* For the Love of Pete By: Julia Harper
* Kiss An Angel By: Susan Elizabeth Phillips
* Ecstasy By: Jacquelyn Frank
* The Warrior Heir By: Cinda Williams Chima
* City of Ashes By: Cassandra Clare

I don't really know much about most of the books listed. Most of them looked like fun and humorous reads. I am very excited to read City of Ashes which is Book 2 in the Mortal Instruments series. I liked the first one, City of Bones, so I have high hopes for this one. I'll be sure to leave a review once I'm finished!

.......So tomorrow is my big cleaning day. I'm wanting to tackle a couple of more hot spots and maybe organize my closet. The boys seem to hord clothes in their room and when they have run out of clean clothes is when they end up in the laundry room. I now have about 100 loads of laundry to do. If you don't hear from me tomorrow I'm probably buried under the mound of jeans!!!
