Running Wild Day

This is swim day at the Y.  After the Y, I picked up Margie and she drove me to Davenport to purchase some new athletic shoes.  I really wanted "Brooks" as I remember that is what I was wearing when I walked the Bix in 1989 (same year as Jane's birth).  There were only 2 stores that carried that brand.  Dick's Sporting Goods and  Running Wild.  I thought I had tested Gary's patience with my shopping, but it was nothing compared to what I did to Margie today.   

I did manage to get some shoes but not Brooks, they are called " Saucony".   I never heard of them before, but they seem quite comfortable.  I will try them out tomorrow.  We ate lunch at the old "Ground Round", Mexican now and very good.  After I dropped Margie off at her home, I went on to South Park and took some alterations to Penneys for Gary and then to the Credit  Union and of course Von Maur, but I am boycotting the plus size dept at Von Maur because she wanted me to return some things to another store.  I did pre order some Estee Lauder.   I did not see Jane's car there today.  

I have been busy ever since I got home around 3 p.m.  I watched Tim Russert's Memorial service and then supper.   I hemmed a pair of shorts for Gary and washed all his towels from downstairs.  He only brings them up when he runs out!!!!   That is 3 loads full.....yikes. 

It is now 8 p.m. and I am tired....no nap today.  Tomorrow will be another busy day. 

WW walking and I need to make a salad that I did not get to today.  

I love this weather.....can't wait to wear my new shoes, but I will not sleep with them tonight...(Beth)  but I did pull out a pink t-shirt to match the pink and silver shoes.   I am obsessed....

Love, 

Mom
