So my kids need new shoes. Their tennis shoes are from the fall AND Caramon uses his feet to break so he has no toes in his shoes anymore. Seriously, I can afford shoes, but it doesn’t look like it! So it is finally to a point where I think maybe I can go buy them their summer sandals without worrying about cold weather.
So this morning I decide to do it. Yay! But I decide to make it a surprise. They’ve been asking for sandals for about a week. So I tell them to hurry and clean their room because I want to take them somewhere for a surprise.
The whole way there they are trying to guess where we are going. They can’t guess. We finally get to PayLess (Like five minutes from my house) and get this. IT BURNED DOWN!!! No kidding. THE SHOE STORE burned down. What the bannanas???? This is so unfair. I never go shopping. (This week has been freaky, been shopping three days in a row now!)
So we go to Target. Thank goodness it is still there! YAY! The kids talk me into Spiderman sandals for Joram, Power Rangers (blech) for Caramon, a Kids Bop 2 CD, and a pack for each of Yu Gi Oh cards. Here’s a hint. That Kids Bop CD? Just say no. Burn your own. They take really cool songs, get crappy artists to sing and throw in here and there kids singing along.
So we come home and we bake cookies. Always a winner activity here! The kids love it! YUMMY!
Tonight Sir Megabyte calls me up and says “Hey while kids are in Adventure Zone, how about we grab some dinner together?” I’m all about that. I thought he was going to have to work late tonight! This is great! WOOHOO So we decide to meet at Red Robin. I get there. Get this. IT IS CLOSED DOWN!!! (Didn’t see signs of a fire!) I call hubby and tell him. I tell him about the shoe store this morning. He said “Well I don’t wanna go to any restaurants I like, I don’t want them to burn down!” But I’m all like “Hey, at least that would make sense! How did a SHOE STORE burn down? Those are some hot shoes!” *SNICKER*
Now I’m home. And relaxing. Trying to figure out why the Payless burned down. But other than that, fine! Oh well, I got to go Target! I forgot how nice Target was! When we were in Arizona we were always going to Target but I haven’t really been that much since then.
Oh I got crafty. I made three Mother’s Day cards, 1 Birth Mother’s Day card, 1 anniversary card, and 1 birthday card. I love stamping!

Poor Oz š¦ you need to come visit here. I have a Red Robin, Payless and Target…all minutes away. But wait, maybe they will meet tragic ends if you are around. Something fishy is going on here. hmmmm.
I adore Target, although the one nearest me is a bit run down. I have been known to get on the beltway and drive for 25 minutes or so to go to my favorite Target. heehee.

You are so sweet! And if I come, I promise not to try to destroy your places!!
Well thankfully the Red Robin we went to is not the one that is over by our house. So I’m hopeful that that one is just fine and dandy. I have no idea where any other payless shoe stores are though! Thank goodness for Target! I don’t know why we stopped going to Target exactly. We went all the time in Arizona. We loved Target! But then we moved to Ohio and the first place we lived in there was no Target within a 45 minute drive. So we just stopped going. But after moving here to the city, well we’ve been like five minutes from a Target. But we just don’t go. *SHRUG* I really don’t know why! Maybe just because I keep forgetting it is so close? I was loving being there yesterday. I just kind of walked around taking in what they had like it was my first time. HEHE
There is definately something fishy going on!

Poor Oz.
We don’t have Targets here, never have been in one.
We have payless, as a matter of fact I bought a pair of shoes there, and strangers compliment them and ask where I go them. The cheapest things get the most comments.
I remember when we got our first Wal Mart not all that long ago. LOL

Target rocks. It is like Walmart but nicer. Think that level between Walmart and Sears I guess. I really don’t know how to describe it. But I have missed it. I really wonder why I stopped going! HAHA
I like Payless. I’m not really into shoes so I don’t want to spend a lot of money. I can get something nice at payless that will last a decent amount of time and won’t cost a lot. Payless rocks. š
