Lack of Spunk
I left work at 2:30 yesterday ostensibly to go to the orthodontist. After my five minute appointment for which I had just spent 20 minutes driving to get to, I decided to head over to Ridgedale, maybe check out the Twins Pro Shop. But first, a visit to my second library of the day. Now I haven't been to the Ridgedale library in years. This is largely because the last two times I visited there (almost a year apart), I saw a creepy, dirty man jacking off in the back by the paperbacks. Needless to say, I wouldn't touch any books that came from that particular library. I reported him the first time. The second time I just left. I would have said nothing could dampen my love of the library, this guy proved me really, really wrong. It took me four years to go back to that library but this time there was no creepy guy in sight. I decided maybe it was safe to get some books, but I'm seriously tempted to view them under a black light just to make sure they're okay to touch.Next I went across the street to the mall. I've been looking for a new bath mat for my upstairs bathroom and thought I'd see if Penny's could help. Very excited to see that much like every other store, the entire home and bath department was on sale. I bought a nice mat, wandered the mall for a bit, then left to visit the Twins Pro Shop where I was seriously tempted to buy a $1 JC Romero picture for Bobbi. I think it would make a nice dartboard for her.
Next I moved on to Plato's Closet. They were having a clearance sale so I dug through two huge piles of jeans and came out with a nice pair of from CK and one from Silver. I also got a nice pair of Limited Khakis. Total cost $6, less than the bath mat. Yes, so they're used. But that also means they've been washed and I don't have to worry about the fit changing because they shrunk in the wash. After my shopping success (spending less than $20 is always a good thing), I went home to take a bath and read one of the not spunk-covered books.
