migraines, monkeys and museums

i spent yesterday looking e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e for super mario mini figures with a raging flashing lights, perfume-hating migraine and one very distraught 5 year old in tow. last week he saw this set of mini figures for $13 at puzzle zoo and has talked about nothing else since. i told him if he did his kindergarten work books, we would go and get them. yesterday he excitedly went to claim his reward and the price had risen from $13 to $30 :| puzzle zoo, you totally suck :( it's definitely time to start a yelp account warning others about such beastly customer service :|

this was also the place that ordered me a monchhichi monkey, but didn't bother to check it's gender, when i SPECIFICALLY ordered a girl monkey (i mean, seriously...???)

at last night's datenight, we had the char bubbled pizza again, even though i had to sit really still, not smell myself (i wore perfume - that was dumb) and not move my head for fear of throwing up all over it. i definitely need to write a review of that place, it will most likely have 4 stars, i will have to take one star off due to feeling sick because they have a tv in the dining room and you can't not look at a tv even if you have a major migraine

this blog by lands end is so woefully tragic... how absolutely generic and stunted do they think their audience is that they need to point these things out??? this quote makes me weep:

Yellow is relaxed and sunny. It can be evening elegant or it can be Sunday morning comfortable. Everyone should have yellow options in their closet.

kill me now :| speaking of... i want to go to here: the museum of death. Aaron says it doesn't sound very kid friendly... but it clearly states there is no age limit and you get to visit the siamese twin turtle(s) for FREE so it's marginally educational... right? and it's not that far from Diddie Riese... just sayin' ;)

we went sailing today at Balboa Island
