The Over Shoulder, or Keith watches too much TV

The other day we were going somewhere with my mom, and her cell phone started ringing. Of course, it was buried in her purse somewhere, so by the time she found it it had stopped ringing. Keith piped up from the back seat "Grandma, you need an Over Shoulder. It's a purse that has a place for EVERYTHING! You can even put TWO bottles of water AND AN UMBRELLA in it! And there's a special pouch for your cell phone so you never miss a call again!" My mom looked at me and said "Do you think your son watches too much TV?" So now all we hear about is this Over Shoulder Bag, and how if you buy it right now you can get a recorder so you never forget what you went to the store for again. Oh, and it's LEATHER. Not pleather, but genuine leather. Ed and I happened to see the commercial the other day, and I was almost crying I was laughing so hard. I could just hear Keith in the background telling me about all the great Over Shoulder features.

Shopping!

We went shopping yesterday with my mom up at the outlets. Fun fun! My mom has this idea in her head that whenever I'm overdue we need to go to Lancaster and haul heavy stuff around. Fortunately, unlike when I was due with Keith, there are no pumpkins in Lancaster at the moment. So instead we shopped. With the boys. That was a bit of an ordeal in itself however. Keith got some school clothes, and Henry got a new pair of shoes. We tried them on in the store and Henry flipped out about them until we bought them and put them on him. So now he's been showing everyone his new red shoes. Even complete strangers. On our way home we stopped by Wendy's to tide the boys over until dinner time, and the fries seemed to put Henry to sleep!

The Best Twenty Dollars I Have EVER Spent

I had to go to Target today to get cat food and litter and some outlet adaptor thingys for the air conditioner - we don't have any grounded outlets in this house other than in the kitchen. While I was there, I found this for $19.99. And you know, I didn't even thing twice about getting it. I had to spend a few extra bucks to get the snocone holders (according to Keith you can't have a snocone unless it's in one of those annoying paper cones) and the flavoring, but even just plain ice is WONDERFUL. Manna from heaven, I'm telling you. Think I can pass it off as Ed's birthday present?
