I guess some people wouldn’t describe a day filled with grocery shopping, party store hopping and even stops at both Big Lots and Wal-Mart as lovely…

but, still, there was something lovely about it.

Maybe it was that I had some quiet time to myself just to browse…maybe it was that I wasn’t really rushed and could even look for stupid things like the perfect July 4th outfit for Sugar-Boy (How hard could it be to find something cute and patriotic for a three pound purse dog to wear?).

I even found red-white-and-blue Goldfish!! (They make me happy…even if I can’t eat them).

I probably went a little overboard the whole theme thing…but, where’s the fun if you can’t go overboard every now and then?

And when I got home, there were tons of boxes in my front hall….”Barbaric Grace” is finally here.

So, all in all, it was a lovely day. Now I’ve just got to figure out where to put all this stuff….

…and I haven’t even made it to B.J.’s yet!!

(Oh yeah…Happy, happy Wednesday - if you’re not having such a happy day, I recommend eating some patriotic Goldfish!).

Peace.
