Tacos, Scrapbooks and Mothers, Oh My!

I just returned from a shopping expedition. My day started out with a very frustrating experience on Walmart.com. I was trying to send my pictures there to get developed, but things weren't going well, so I just gave up so I could leave and go to a couple garage sales. I didn't find anything great at said garage sales, but it was fun to go nonetheless! Then I remembered I could do 1 hour photo at Target. It was wonderful. For only a penny more per picture, I can support Target and not have to deal with Wal-Mart. Amazing! I was quite excited about this because this means that perhaps soon I'll be able to avoid Wal-mart altogether. Of course I'm still trying to figure out how to quit grocery shopping there without spending lots of extra money as they are the cheapest I've found. So, after dropping off my pictures I went to Hobby Lobby. I think scrapbooking is going to take over the world! There is just so much stuff!! It's craziness. After looking through everything for a good hour (and by everything I mean just the scrapbooking stuff), I purchased some things to work on my Colorado book. While I was there I saw a mom and daughter walking arm and arm around the store. The daughter looked to be close to my age and it just made me think of my mom because that is something she and I would do. It was a bittersweet moment! It made me smile becaue I love my mom, but sad because I sure do miss her! After Hobby Lobby I was getting hungry for some lunch and there was a Taco Bell in the little shopping center I was in. I have been meaning to go there for quite some time so I can get taco sauce packets to put in my quesadillas and I figured this was as good a time as any. I walked in, thinking that it was probably going to be expensive here, so I decided I could just get a taco or two to hold me over until I got home and could eat some already paid for and not by me food. I looked at the menu and low and behold, it is a lot CHEAPER than home, the 'Ville and everywhere else I've eaten Taco Bell. I found this to be quite exciting and I allowed myself to get a whole meal, for which I only paid $4.04 for, including tax. It's a happy day! After eating I stuffed taco sauce packets into my purse and felt like a little old lady stealing rolls or something. It made me laugh. So, needless to say I came home in a much better mood than when I left. I love Fort Collins!
