Hopping on Memorial Day

We're open half of the day at work yesterday. It was just me, the lifeguard and the custodial. No bosses around, except me....ngehhh!

I was supposed to eat lunch with Ate Caroline but Hubby called if we can go out and eat somewhere. Our girl was under the mighty hand of her Grandpa so just the two of us. We had a date at a Mexican Restaurant closed by us. Hubby was craving for a smothered Burrito and his wish was being granted. I just ordered Chicken Quisadilla enough to feed my hungry tummy.

After our lunch, we dropped by at King Soopers and buy some flowers for my MIL's grave. Every Memorial Day, Hubby had to visit the grave of his Mom by Highland Hills Cemetery, off on 104th and Grant. We stayed for a while despite of the rain showers.

We went home and watched TV together. Mama came over and asked a favor if I can put the thread inside the tiny needle so she can sew Angelina's pants that has a hole in between legs. It's a brand new cotton pants and didn't noticed the hole of it.

At 4:00 PM. I left the house so me and Ate Caroline can go shopping. I asked my Ma if she will join with us but she's more than happy to stay home because of the weather.

My friend's house is on the way going to Orchard Mall so, that was easy.
We stopped by at Walgreens first to buy some dishwashing soap that was on sale for .89 cents and a limit of 3 bottles, I guess. Regular price is $1.89 so, I got three bottles and save 3 bucks.

The pink Samon in can were on sale too. So, I grabbed three of them and save 6 bucks from the regular price. As we're about to leave, we saw the Colgate toothpaste for .99 cents. Of course, hindi ko pakakawalan ang pagkakataon. I bought 12 pieces for my Balikbayan box. I told myself not to send one anymore and just give them money but sending one and knowing how excited it is to have a package from a far away land just make them happy. It's the thought that counts...

After Walgreens, we swinged by at K-Mart to buy the kiddy pool for my girl. I thought the $14.99 is a good deal but I was scared to get it thinking it might just end up into one time use only. I mean, quality wise. There was this $19.99 but still I was not convinced. Caroline and I agreed to get the $39.99 and was on sale for $29.99 and ended up paying $32 and something after taxed. Very affordable, huh! My girl don't need a huge pool and besides Hubby reminded me the grass situation. he don't want us to kill our grass because of our inflatable pool. It was kind of cute if you asked me, I mean the kiddy pool. I hide it somewhere and wait for the nice weather to come.

Finally, we made it to Orchard Mall and our faces were happily sorting out sales and clearances at Macy's, Ross and JCPenny. We found some that we like and happy with the amount that we paid. Sale is my happiness in life. I will grab those items that's not on sale if I really, really need it but in general, I like to buy clothings, apparel, and etc when they're all marked down to the lowest price in town. It's just a matter of time, patience and effort to go for it. Life is good!

Yeah, we had a great exercise! We didn't mind the weather and we're just in a hot pursuit with our malling therapy.

By the time we're done, it was already 8:00 PM. Our tummy's giving as a hint that it's time to eat our dinner. Caroline saw the Big Burrito place and I told her that I just went to a Burrito resto for our luch. We looked to the other side and saw Long Jonh's Silver. It's a fast food and no fancy place to be exact. Just like any fast food if you wanna know. We ordered the same menu, grilled salmon, rice and veggies. They were out of veggies though and they gave us a deal of corn in a cob plus coleslaw. Goodness gracious, we just paid $5.99. Cheap ha! Simple life, happy life...life is so, so good!

I got home by 9:00 PM and Hubby was waiting for my arrival in our family room watching COPS. I showed him what I bought. Got you! I just didn't buy for myself but for the whole family. It's like one for you, for you, for you, for you and for me! I like to go window shopping when it's a holiday. I save some bucks and Hubby called me a wise shopper.

Time for me to go and keep myself working here!
