dined
at our Italian restaurant by the fake lake last night - soo soooo good!! the garlic bread is so densely buttery and garlicy... possibly the best garlic i ever had :| i really really want to learn to make my own pizza there next time, and bake it in their wood fired oven to charred perfection - they should offer cooking classes, i'd totally take them!!

stopped
at Thrifty for icecream and we didn't even have the kids with us :)

found
a really awesome rustic Big Sur coffee table at the habitat for humanity store that for some reason we didn't buy that very second even though it was only $35 and completely perfect for our den, with rounded corners, room underneath to store rustic toy bins, PLUS we were in our minivan with the seats folded down and everything.... i am forcefully having to sit on my hands so i don't bite my fingers till they bleed, hoping and praying the coffee table is still there in the morning at 9am when they reopen:)

loved
my sweet hubbie for finding and recording Dahmer for me as a surprise - oh, he knows the way to my heart :)

watched a little bit of it over lunch, so it will last a while, with the leftovers of the charred wood fired pizza :)

found
after months of hopeless searching high and low... a beautiful statuesque UPRIGHT FREEZER!! we went to Lowes and boldly asked if we could buy the floor model (we don't pay retail price for anything EVER) because it had a piece of sticky tape on it, thus was clearly no longer sellable :) and they said YES!! and they gave us 30% off the price and free delivery TODAY.... yippee skippee!!

tidied
the entire garage in honor of our new garage freezer. created a huge good will pile and a lot of perfectly empty space

found
Super Mario pyjamas for Danny at Target, i hate clothes with cartoon characters, but for some reason i really really love Mario and he makes Danny so happy he gives me the 'best Mom ever hug' :)

stopped
at IKEA for a new rug and a tray of warm gooey cinnamon rolls for breakfast. i want this for Danny's room but i bet it's temporarily oversold....


made
graham cracker/butter/peanut butter/crushed cornflake/chocolate cookies - they are little cement patties of crispy peanut buttery heaven :)

off to watch for the delivery man (he is due in 75 minutes, not that's i'm counting...) and measure and remeasure and resweep the space where the new freezer will go :)
