It's Wednesday....isn't it?

I just went outside to put some shock in the pool, and found a wee turtle. He is so cute. He was just sitting there, amon the rocks. I'm glad I didn't step on him....or he would have become a frisbee! I took him over to the hose and watered him down a bit, and put him in the shade. He was rather dry. I went inside and got wee-one (as I didn't think he would particularly thrill Betsy), and she looked at him for a bit. She picked him up once, then put him down and ran back into the house. I was worried for a minute that she would want to keep him....but thankfully we had just returned from the store, where she purchased a Polly Pocket, complete with limousine and accessories. She was having a hard time deciding between the limo and the pool Polly....she kept picking one up then setting the other down, and vice versa. However, she decided on the limo. She also paid with her own money. She had $46 with her, so really she could have gotten both. I suggested that to her, and she though about it before saying, "Hey, I'll tell you what. I'll buy one and YOU buy the other." I don't think so kid, but nice try.

We stopped at Books-a-Million as well, because Betsy needed the next book in her series. She reads Fearless, and only has 4 books to go. She also bought a hard-cover $15 book called "ttyl" (talk to you later in teen im talk). The entire book is written in instant messages, and the book is also printed like an instant message, each page containing several messages from different characters. I'm like, I pay HOW much each month for you to instant message, and you go and buy a book on it? I swear, I will never understand these kids. (Dang whippersnappers!)

Tonight will be a boring dinner of kielbasa and kraut. I made a new recipe last night, complete with photos, but my ygp isn't working at the moment. I really need a new computer. This one has done a great job, but it's on it's last leg I believe. I'm rebooting 10 times a day for pete's sake!

Oh, I also bought an ironing board pad and cover today. How exciting is that? I had to choose between butterflies and plain pink. I went with the butterflies. Oh, and I also bought conditioner for wee one's hair. She has such long, thick hair that I have to get pantene. It's the only thing that will work. However, today I decided to try the generic equivalant. Of course, I had to open it and smell it, because I buy by scent. If you are a user of the pantene conditioner, you will know that the bottles are made to stand up with the opening on the bottom, so you don't have to shake the last remaining bits out. Well, I picked up the bottle, opened it, gave it a little squeeze to sniff....and found myself with a face full of conditioner. I calmly wiped it off my cheek and ever-so-nonchalantly out of my nostrils, all while Betsy is looking at me like, "Could you BE any more embarassing?"

So, now I am home, ironing board ready to go, nostril hair soft and manageable....yet here I sit. *Sigh. I better get a move on!
