My Day and some Plugs

I have had a good Thursday (though technically it's Friday morning now!)

I forgot to go back to Kmart yesterday to get a playdoh activity table I seen for $69 as It would make a perfect birthday or Xmas present for Katrina in the coming months. I woke up had some breakfast started flicking through the catalogs and while looking through the Kmart one seen the activity table pictured. I was showing my dad it when I noticed the price $39 and the sale started today. So I rushed through my breakfast got dressed in the quickest possible time and drove to Kmart 5 mins away from my house. Searched for a trolley as it's too big for me to carry and when I got there I scored the lucky last one, Katrina also did well by getting a medium sized soft Dora toy too as it was quite cheap.
Then after lunch dad had to go and collect some money from Medicare and mum decided to go with him. Katrina got all excited pointing at the car through the door when she seen Dad pick up the keys so they decided to take her with them, while I finished doing some housework. Wahhhooo. I turned the music up full blast, bopped away while I vacuumed and did the dishes and then had a VERY long shower. Man that was good, I could do with that more often! I even had some time to spare when I got out to dry my hair and play on the computer before they got back :) I really miss the me time I have always had oodles of it my entire life as I am an only child so having Katrina around almost 24/7 has been a huge adjustment for me.
Then I went to My friend Melissa's house for a surprise cake and cuppa for Mich's Birthday. She didn't wanna do anything as she feels a bit sad about turning 25, but we couldn't just forget her so we did it in a way that wasn't such a big deal but still made her feel special for the day, even if it was a day latter than her actual birthday. It was great catching up with all the girls and having some adult conversation all in all today has been one of the better day I have had for a while. It's funny how sometimes the simple things really do make a difference to our overall wellbeing and state of mind.

I also discovered how easy it is to rip my Cd's to mp3s so I can put them on my iPod today. (i know, i know how behind am i!) So at least i wont have to purchase lots of stuff again as i have 100s of Albums and singles just sitting in a tub under my bed, I may as well be getting some use out of that music.
