the ups and the downs

the ups

• Sam was really really good and helpful all day :)
• Aaron got a very cute buzzcut :)
• found a box of hair glaze and now my hair is all shiny and fragrant :)

• went to Fuddruckers and Danny ate ALL HIS LUNCH :) :) :)
• it was a kids eat free lunch :)

• took the boys to walmart and had enough money on a giftcard to pay for everything :)
• found the perfect nail polish white polka-dotter pen there (Sally Hanson french manicure pen)
• ate very little and walked a lot :)
• Aaron found a little dog named Travis running in traffic, and called the dog catcher who thanks to the wonders of microchips, was able to take it straight home :)

the downs

• grocery shopped at albertsons for the first time in a very looong time. their 20% off prices are still 20% more than superwalmart :(
• got a reese's pack of 3 peanut butter cups and it only had 2 inside :(
• checked two redboxes - neither had Dinosquad for Danny :(
• MJ - rest in peace :(
  
• lame negative mean comments about him on facebook :(
  
• not as many downs (but that would be an up technically :)
