Friday was a busy day, with all the initial hype about Hurricane Dean possibly hitting Texas, we decided it was a good time to make a hurricane survival kit. We took my car to Wal-Mart to get an oil change and in the process tried to buy some basic things like water and canned goods. But it was tax free weekend and Wal-Mart was a madhouse, they also ran out of water so we decided to try a different Wal-Mart later that night instead of prime time shopping hours (3pm!).
We finally got my transcript to the school I am planning to transfer to and hopefully will be able to register for classes tomorrow...even though they start tomorrow. At least there's late registration!
Friday night we went to Target, of course they were out of water too. We made one more stop at a different Wal-Mart and they were re-stocking the gallons of water. We bought enough for the 2 of us and our puppy for a week should we need it. We also stocked up on canned foods, batteries, flashlights, and a radio. A hundred dollars and an hour later we finally went home. It was an exhausting day...shopping always has that effect on me.
Saturday we went downtown to some of the museums since they were free, but everyone else in the city seemed to come out too. And when they advertise free, they don't always really mean it. What it means is that a few of the exhibits are free, but some still cost. And it seemed like at the Natural History museum everything I was interested in were the ones that cost extra. We did tour a few of the museums and then got sick of fighting the crowds and decided to call it a day there too.
Then today we've been lounging around a lot. I did have a little time to scrapbook this weekend, so I will share my latest page. I scraplifted idea from arb*smommy on 2 Peas! Thanks for the great inspiration.
I also completed this page at a mid-week crop I attended on Wednesday night!
