So once again I find myself loitering at the coffee shop.  I have moved on from LatteLand (Starbucks before that) to a quaint little spot closer to home, A Cup Above.  I like the people that work here a lot more than any of the stuffies at the other places.  The only thing is, they seem to have quite a booming business and there are frequently loud bunches of people in here distracting me from whatever book I’m trying to read.  I do still enjoy it more here than the others but come on…

I had Friday off of work so it has been an extended weekend and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  I am sad though that it’s already Sunday.  That means tomorrow I have to return to work and all that entails.  I refuse to let the panic hit me before 5 this evening so I think I will quit talking about it so early in the day.

Yesterday, I drove all over Kansas on a quest of Katie’s to get a new kitty.  I started my day with just a nice quiet coffee but ended up spending the whole day away from home.  I think I finally got back home last night around 8.  It was a fun day though.  I can’t say I’d have done anything other than nap if I’d have stayed home.  Our first stop was the Humane Society.  They have some adorable kitties there that should all come home with me.  It is a good thing that they don’t do same day adoptions or I would have yet another animal living with me as we speak.  We then aimed the car towards where we assumed the lady was telling us the Petsmart was located.  After much driving around and Katie using what I assume was Google maps to figure out where we were, we landed at the Legends.  This proved to be a good thing as I found a very well priced Kathy purse that is now mine and she found a VERY cute laptop bag that is also now mine!!  By the time the shopping was done, Katie had found directions to where we needed to go next so back to the car we went.  The Petsmart only had about 5 cats available and they were all too old.  Not that we don’t want to rescue them as well, but Katie has a cat already “Gracie” and is in the market for a new friend that Gracie can either raise her way or that she can tell will be a good fit.  Anyway, then it was lunch and back on the road for who knew what.  We just aimed for what direction we thought home would be in.  By this time, I was ready for some pampering in the form of a manicure and pedicure.  But Katie was firm in her quest and don’t you know we came upon another Petsmart on our way towards the Northland??  So we stopped there and spent quality time snuggling with some kitties and I with a handsome puppy.  Time came to investigate their adoption process we found out that the two women manning the table were evil, rude women.  Well, one was worse than the other.  Their process is very difficult to maneuver and not worth it considering the person you have to deal with.  After a stop at Target to acquire flipppyfloppys, we found our manny peddy destination and settled in for some beauty time.  I even got fake nails!!  These are things I have preached against.  I honestly don’t know what got into me.  But so far I don’t regret them 100% yet.  One more stop at a creepy cat rescue place still in Kansas, and I had to wait in the car.  Those people made me want to bathe, run a marathon and sweat it out, then bathe again.  That kind of creepy that you’re worried you might get some on you.

Finally the last stop was at Houlihan’s back in the Northland for a couple of relaxing martini’s then back home for bed.  That’s more than I do in any other weekend my friends.  I’m usually home all day doing absolutely nothing so you may understand why I have given you such details of my day.  Anyway, need to consume the rest of my coffee or go home and nap, one of the two.
