beautiful weather! and grumpy ladies

it is so nice and sunny. finally!! ugh, a little nice weather does wonders for the mood. plus it makes going out to the garden with Thomas so much more pleasant. we have taken short walks outside so far but today we are going to take a longer walk. dad is "working from home" so when he comes back from beer thursday, we are heading over to Hacienda Crossings (maybe a mile away?) to get some jamba juice and maybe stroll around barnes & noble or scan through the sale items at old navy.
last week i bought a large bolt of black velvet from joanne's crafts store so we can get some nice photos of thomas. i was waiting for a coupon, but it has been awhile since they have sent any through email. we no longer get newspaper. so i thought, oh well, just get some - we are going to use it for a long time so it is a good investment.
well, of course, the week after i buy it, i get an email coupon. and it is a good one - 50% off the regular price of any one item. so now i have to go back, return what i bought and buy it back using the coupon. ordinarily, i have no problem returning things. but the ladies that work there are such a grumpy bunch, i am a little apprehensive. i mean, we have grumpy lady and really grumpy lady. we'll see if they let me use the coupon retroactively or not...

Ohhh I can't stand it when I receive a coupon later then when I needed it! I hope they let you get the 50% off! If not, just think of it as your contribution to the economy and keeping their store afloat (that always helps me from feeling annoyed for not waiting longer).

You should bring the grumpy uncle with you. Nobody can stand against his grumpiness.
