We went to Dubuque for some odds and ends this afternoon. Menards was having a "15% off everything you can fit into this tiny green bag" sale. At least the bag was tiny by Menards product standards. A bathtub could not have fit into the bag. Lumber could not fit into the bag. Carpet could not fit into the bag. But we fit everything we needed into the bag. And now all of our light switches have covers and we have many many lightbulbs and luckily spray paint is not too large. But I digress. Somehow we ended up at Old Navy and then Target. Neither Mike nor I enjoy shopping. Particularly for clothing. However, between the two of us we purchased SEVEN pairs of pants. I don't remember the last time I bought TWO pairs of pants in one outing (and by "outing" I mean a foray into online shopping). Granted, four of the seven pairs (that's 57%, folks) were under ten bucks and Mike is pretty sure the last time he bought pants was in high school. But this was some heavy duty below-the-belt shopping. It was exhausting. I came home and fell asleep.
Mike is now playing an inane Wii game he got today, probably to console himself after all the time spent in the dressing room. The game involves insane rabbits. The rabbits do things like have tractor races and judge your dance moves. I'm so glad we have curtains so the neighbors can't see us dancing around the living room to the Austin Powers theme song.

I think dancing to the Austin Powers theme song is a great way to end a hideous day of clothes shopping, what could be happier? But I do agree, it's a good thing you have curtains now.
