Say What? I Actually Had A Great Day?

Yup.  Today was a great day!  We finally just got back from being out since about eight this morning.  Jason didn't give me any hassle about going out the door this morning.  In fact, he actually wanted to head out the door a whole hour and a half earlier than I had anticipated going out.  So, I knew this was going to be a great day.  We started out with our morning Dunkin Donuts run.  Jason and I went in for the first time in a very long time.  I wanted a couple of doughnuts and wanted to see what they had available.  I ended up with an Oreo and raspberry cheesecake doughnut and Jason had the Oreo cheesecake doughnut and boston cream.



Then, we took the long forty-five minute drive to Greenville.  When we arrived, we walked immediately down to the bubble tea house.  Jason and I love bubble tea, me a little more so than Jason.  I love adding pearls to my bubble tea.  They remind me of grape flavored gummy bears.  We both ordered pineapple flavored bubble tea.  Jason opted out of the pearls.


After we got our bubble teas, we walked around Reedy Falls Park for a little bit.  We only had a two hour parking limit.  So, we weren't there long.  I took some random, pretty pictures in Reedy Falls Park.


I don't know what it is about that tree, but I really liked it.


My Galaxy Note 4 takes awesome pictures.  Doesn't it?!


I really give props to the person who etched this into the rail at Reedy Falls Park.  This saying can't be more true.


Look how pretty these flowers are.  I love them.

After Reedy Falls park, we checked out Burlington Coat Factory.  It's not every day that we get to go up to Greenville and we don't have a Burlington Coat Factory in Anderson.  From there, we went to Haywood mall, so I could try to find a phone case for my Galaxy Note 4.  I wanted something a tad bit fancier than the standard cases they already have out.  It's hard to find a nice case for a phone that just came out not too long ago.  Lastly, we went to TGIF's for lunch.  I had a half of a rack of baby back ribs with coleslaw and Parmesan steak fries and Jason had a Jack Daniel's burger with fries.  I had two alcoholic beverages because theirs are super tiny.  I'm use to drinking the big girl drinks over at Texas Roadhouse.


Berry sangria 


I forgot the name of this one, but this was my favorite out of the two.

On our way home, Jason wanted to stop at Volcano which is a e-vape store.  Jason wanted to pick up more fluid for his e-cigarette.  He is trying to quit smoking.  I got a bigger size tank for mine and a pink head.  We purchased the flavors spearmint and cotton candy.  I do 8mg which is like smoking lights and Jason does 16mg which is like smoking regulars.  I started smoking the vaporizer due to my severe anxiety and stress which is a lot healthier than smoking cigarettes by far.  I find that it even relaxes me more than a cigarette would plus you get all the awesome flavors it comes in.


We're just going to relax at the house for the rest of the day.  I start back to school Monday, so I'm trying to make the most of this weekend.  Going to Greenville was my present to Jason for his birthday and next weekend, we are having a pizza party for him at our house.  He's a spoiled little brat, but I love him.  Tomorrow we are going over his mom and dads house to make the last trip to bring the rest of our stuff over.  Then of course, Sunday is Easter.  We will be over his mom and dads house all afternoon on Sunday.

What are you doing this weekend?!

Just A Relaxing Sunday

Nothing much is going on today.  It's rainy and damp.  I'm struggling to make it through yet another menstruation cycle.  These times are just the worst for me, especially because I only have my period for 3 days since being on birth control.  I feel like my body says to me, "Well, since you only get it for 3 days now instead of 5, we're going to cram that 5 days of cramps into 3 days."

Anyway.

As most women can relate, I really didn't feel like going out yesterday at all.  I was in pain and feeling gross.  However, my mother-in-law called up yesterday and asked Jason if he wanted to take a 30 minute trip to Harbor Freight which is a man store.  Since we don't have one in town and Jason has been wanting a sander and some drill bits, he opted in.  At first I was completely convinced that I wasn't going anywhere.  When Jason's parents arrived to pick him up, I decided to go even though I was feeling like crap because there is a K-Mart next door and I took the ride just to see if there was anything I needed while they were out.  

Long story short, we ended up at this household emporium called Anna's Linens which is in the same plaza as Harbor Freight along with K-Mart.  I fell in love with it.  I found myself a nice comforter set for our bed, got 4 new pillows, and some curtain tiebacks.  Silly me wanted to get my curtains for our bedroom, but forgot what the measurements of the windows were.  I wasn't going to settle for K-Mart crap when this store was clearly more upscale and affordable.  After all, I'm buying stuff for our bedroom, our sanctuary.  A place that the cats aren't allowed unless they are being supervised.  So, of course we are going to be picky and spend a bit more money than we would with the rest of the house.



Simba and I feel the same way today.  Jason goes back to work tonight and I'm just having such a difficult time with that.  I'm going to miss him being at home at night.

Today we woke up late, at around 11 a.m again which is fine with me because we both agreed that we're not doing much today anyway, but resting.

I have to get caught up on some posts.

I'm sorry to disappoint you if you were looking for something exciting in today's post.

Just having one of those days.
