Today we went on a few adventures...
Ace Hardware was giving away free quarts of paint. We went to the Ace right near us, but they don't sell Clark and Kensington brand paint which was the brand that was giving away paint. We started to venture over to the Ace in Clear Lake. On the way there, we passed the place Manny gets his haircut. We stopped. He got his haircut so I could see how to do a medium fade. Oh man it looks so much easier than a high fade. I so got this!!
We continued on our way to Ace. When we got there, I had to figure out what color I wanted. Too many choices!! I initially wanted a teal color, but then I had to think about what I was going to use the paint for. We have nothing teal in our apartment, so hmmm... I looked at red, but it didn't feel right, so I just stuck with my original color. It's a really pretty teal! It's called Eastern Shoreline. (And yes, water on the East and West Coast is really blue, not the nasty brown like Galveston. I feel bad for the people who think Galveston is a real beach. Nasty.)
So I got my paint, two little paint stirrers, and a paint can opener. Yay!
We continued on our adventure by picking up Manny's dad and going to Mexico!!
In Mexico, they hang flags and pinatas everywhere! Haha jk so this isn't really Mexico, it's Mi Tienda. We went here for lunch. It's a restaurant and a grocery store. Since I was with Manny, the people there just assumed I spoke Spanish. No big deal! I'm fluent!
After lunch, we went to Sam's club. The line to get in was long and we still wanted to go see the puppies at PetsMart. We left to go see the puppies :-) but boo!! PetsMart only had kittens. Of course they are cute too, but I can't get one.
We left PetsMart and headed back to Sam's club. We determined that Sam's club isn't really cheaper than a normal grocery store. Everything is in larger quantities, so it's a little cheaper BUT you have to pay for a Sam's Club membership, so in reality, it's the same price as Kroger or Wal-Mart. Sorry to burst the bubbles of all those avid Sam's club shoppers. Maybe a few cents is important enough to you, but to me, it doesn't matter that much. I find enough spare change in parking lots to make up for my loss :-)
Well now I will continue to look at Pinterest while Manny studies :-) I have to figure out what my next project will be!!
