Shopping & the Movies

I just got home from the movies & then "sopping" at Wal-mart. (yes, it's 4am as I type this).

I saw 40 Year Old virgin. I liked the main character, but his new buddies should have been left out. The supporting 3 buddies were just waaaaay to crude. I agree with pluggedinonline's review that it should have gotten a NC-17 rating. BTW, the 40 yr old virgin waited until he was married to consumate and give his virginity.

On to the "sopping". I picked up four books that were regularly priced at $5.95 for .97 cents each for Kurt & Shelby to share. They have soft foam covers and the inside is the cardboard. The covers have a picture to correlate with the names of the books--[Itsy Bitsy Spider with a blue spider, This Little Piggy with a pink pig wearing green overalls, My Pretty Kitty that is yellow with purple ears, nose paws & tip of tail, and My Puppy Playtime that is brown. Kurt has gotten to where he brings books to me 3 or 4 times a day so that we can read. His favorites so far are Bambi Grows Up (a Little Golden Book) and Goodnight Moon. My guess is that Puppy will be called Saucee and Kitty will be called "Lolo", that is Solo.

They had many more titles such as Cuddles the Cow, Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, My Goldfish Wish, and My Baby Elephant that I didn't get, but I think that there are at least 4 more titles because I didn't get the one with the Jack in the Box on the front. But I think I'm going to go back tomorrow and get the rest so I can give them as stocking stuffers for the 4 nieces and nephews that I have now, the one that is on the way already and the one that my youngest sister is hoping to make with her DH over the next month or two.

I also got some school supplies that Cynthia needed that I found cheap: looseleaf, poket folders and a protractor. I also found a package of socks that had a sticker on it for $4 (the rest did not) that were regularly 5.62. I came out of the store spending less than $12. Which is great because I still had $7 in my pocket and I usually will spend every last penny that is in my pocket when I go "luxury" shopping.

I once found a 3-pk of spidey underwear at Wal-mart that was mismarked down to $1 from 4.92 and grabbed every single package they had. I figured that Kurt would grow into them. They are still in the package in his underwear/socks drawer waiting for him to finish potty training.

Okay, I can't believe I spent 40 minutes writing this ONE little post!!! It's 11 minutes til 5am, I gotta go to sleep! So if ya'll don't see me before noon, you'll all know why!
