I found my Project 365 kit propped against the front door. Feeling very blessed to get one of these (plus, I happened to remember that I had ordered pictures from last week while I was at Walmart so I even have pictures to start on it tonight!)
My favorite current magazine was in my mailbox this afternoon, and look who's in one of the articles - one of my favorite TV personalities, Kate Gosselin.
We got paid today, so I was able to buy new scissors. I know, seems like a very little thing, but when you've been using kids scissors for the past week or so to do all of your cutting (especially with wrapping paper), this is a true blessing. AND, they were only 97 cents so I bought two pair!
I got an email from Ann Taylor Loft. The boots I had ordered, then received, then returned due to a defect, then re-ordered, then had the exact same pair of boots start out my way again (thankfully one of the girls at the store remembered that I had just returned them the day before), then got an email saying the order had been cancelled, then called and confirmed that they were still ordered, then didn't hear anything for a week, then inquired about the order again and found out TODAY that the order had been miraculously found and they did still have another pair in my size in Henderson, Nevada and the boots should ship out tomorrow. Whew! Now, I hope I still like them as much as I thought I did the first time - the good thing is that I got a really great deal.
Now, I'm forcing this last one to be a blessing today. Elliott wanted to go to the used game place by our house and as we were leaving I noticed this scene right beside the GameStop:
There used to be a sign at the top that said "Cold Stone Creamery". Ugh. Closed. Forever. I had to take a picture cause I knew it would end up being the picture of the day. I'm very sad about this cause I loved going and creating our own ice cream concoctions, and it was so yummy! But the blessing is that I will no longer have such convenient access to so many sweet fat calories....I know, I'm grasping at straws here.

I like how the image of your van is in the windows of the used to be Coldstone. Is there still one in Wentzville? We went to the LSL allt he time because it was quieter. Must be why they closed it. I'm glad you've had a good day, up until the ice cream thing :-). Ny
Sorry you had to have such a "bad" ending to a "good" day! It's hard knowing that you are going to be missing out on the "finer things in life". LOL!!! The closest Cold Stone Creamery to us is about an hour away. Yes, we had some MAJOR adjusting to do when moving back from Athens.
