Gorgeous, perfect, errand running day. Before we started off I decided that I really wanted another Iced Thai coffee and Donny wanted to go shop a new furniture store that had it’s grand opening on Monday. He wanted to see if they would, in any way, be competition.

We also ordered so shrimp rolls to go so we’d not get hangry.
As it turns out this new store will in no way compete with Donny’s store. The people working there are so nice and extremely helpful, but I have never seen furniture like this.

This is fur and padded. The whole thing is covered.

Need a bed with a fake fireplace. I gotcha covered.
Everything was shiny or disco ball mirrored. It was a bit crazy. BUT, they had one thing that I would have bought on the spot if we had the room for it and I’m not kidding.

This massage chair!!!!! I have never ever experienced a massage chair like this one. When I tell you it was freaking amazing, it was. I did a couple of short massages and did not want to get out of it. I was actually thinking to myself, do we really need all the furniture we have in our living room. We don’t actually need a chest of drawers in our bedroom. I would never get out of it.
When we left they gave us a goody bag. It was sweet and a bit weird. I’m always nosy so I’ll show you what was in it.

I can’t get this to charge so I’m going to throw it away.

This works fine. It has different light settings and is really cute.

These are double walled glasses with rubber bottoms so they don’t slide around. Big Winner of the bunch. Donny has already washed them and poured a beer or two.
The only thing I needed to do was go to Gladewater and hit up Sasquatch’s for some ground beef. they carry the best and it’s such a good price. Of course we couldn’t leave with just the ground beef.

Could not leave without a root beer candy cane. I made it into a sharp point and asked Donny if he wanted to go down memory lane and then I poked him in the hand with it. Didn’t everyone do that in elementary school?

We picked up some staples.

Some crazy big carrots

Had to get some snacks. Not pictured is Donny’s cheese with truffles. I cannot stand the way truffles smell. It makes me physically sick. Donny had some when we got home and I asked him to please take it to work because I just cannot tolerate the smell. I think it’s like people who think cilantro tastes like soap. But no matter what, I can’t have it in the house.
I am under a time crunch to get the garden going. I have a vision for what I want to do. I shared it with Donny and we tweaked it a bit and I started.

We decided to get rid of our grill. It still works fine, we just don’t use it. I know we live in Texas, but the kids and I don’t really like grilled food or BBQ. It was taking up so much space. Since we can’t plant in the backyard due to the chickens destroying anything growing the side yard is precious real estate.

The beginning.

I could have just mowed over it, but I needed to take out these skinny trees that were growing back and I wanted to use my pick axe and hoe to get rid of as many weeds as possible before I put down the weed barrier.

This is where I stopped for the day. I plan on attacking it again tomorrow. I may not be able to walk after this, but there won’t be any weeds and it will look so much better than it did last year. I really do love outside work.
