With all of the rain in the last 24 hours, it was no surprise that N's baseball game was postponed. It just so happens that his game last fall on this exact weekend was ALSO postponed due to weather. Who remembers that stuff? You know...except me. Last fall, though, my sister and brother-in-law were in town for her high school reunion, so they had planned to attend his game, only to spend the entire reunion weekend in the rain. Bummer. What does this mean? Well, it just means that we have games into November now, instead of ending at the end of October.
So, since I had a free day to myself, what did I do? Homework. I know. I live on the edge every single day, wild and reckless. After I turned in some of my homework, I went to the mall. I haven't bought jeans in almost 3 years. I have a couple pair that haven't been ruined or ripped to shreds, but my supply was totally dwindling. I started at Macy's (because I usually have good luck there) and ended up at Dillards, where there was a much larger selection. Newsflash: If you spend at least $80 on Juniors/Women's jeans at Dillards, they will alter the hems for free! You take them home, wash them, and bring them back with your receipt, and they'll mark the alterations for you and get them back to you within a week. This is a huge deal. It's so hard to find the right length; the longer lengths are always there in an (over) abundance, but the middle of the road lengths are impossible to find. It was a good day. And, to round out my great day, I scored a couple pair of jeans for B, too...since he isn't at all picky about what he wears, as long as pants are readily available for when he decides he's cold...like on the third day of school, when I told him he was insane because it was still approximately 187 degrees, even in the middle of the night.
I went home, threw the jeans I needed altered in the washer and thought about continuing to clean my apartment. Instead, I looked at movie times. This girl decided she was going to take herself on a cheap date because she needs to get out a little more. So, after my jeans were done washing and drying, I took them back to Dillards to get them measured for alterations. Then, I did a little bit of window shopping (Bath & Body Works still only has gross smelling candles, by the way), then went to see "The Heat" at the dollar theater.
Y'all, I love Melissa McCarthy. I was first introduced to her as Suki on "The Gilmore Girls," which will always be one of my favorite shows, and she cracked me up. Since then, I've seen her in various roles, but it seems like she's really come into her own on the big screen in the last few years. She is hilarious! There was entirely too much language for my taste, but the sarcasm and wit? I feel like we could be total bffs and laugh all the time!
I picked an earlier showing, so it was before 9:00 when I got out of the theater. It's one thing to go on a date by yourself...it's another entirely to leave an establishment by yourself when it's super-dark/late, and walk to your car by yourself.
Safety first, kids!
