Today was a very productive day off. We went to Walmart, the mall, a book store, Petco, and got lunch at the New China Buffet all before noon! That’s because we went to bed at a decent hour so we were able to drag our butts out of bed before 7:30 am. This new sleeping schedule is great!

We went to the mall to look for a birthday present for the boy, as well as look at mattresses. Both attempts were unsuccessful. The boy wants a strategy guide for a game that’s been out for over a year which is considered ancient these days, so we’ll have to scour the internet for it. None of the stores sell Simmons mattresses so we had no luck on that front either. But all was not lost; we did get two new Easter decorations and some bath towels at Kohl’s. We had just been talking about wanting more and wouldn’t you know it, Kohl’s had our towels 2 for 1. Nice! I don’t think we paid full price for them last time either. I really do love Kohl’s. They always have the best prices and their decorations can’t be beat. I mean, look at how cute this bunny and candy dish are. And both were only $5.19 (reduced from $12.99). Score!

The movie theatre at the mall has been closed for renovations and I’m looking forward to when it opens this summer. I hope the prices are reasonable because I’m getting a little worried about the future of the theatre we currently patronize. The mall it’s in isn’t looking good. Every time we go there we notice more and more empty retail space and it’s rather alarming. I can think of more than five empty stores just off the top of my head and we only walked around half of the first level before before our movie on Saturday. If they close the mall down we’re going to have to look for a theatre elsewhere and I refuse to pay $7 for a matinee. So I hope the one closer to home ends up being ok; although I wouldn’t be surprised if they charge more to help recoup the cost of all the renovations. :p

Oh and we saw Blades of Glory which was pretty funny, albeit not as great as I was hoping (yet exceeding Joe’s expectations). I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those movies that gets funnier with every viewing. I’m sure we’ll see it a million times once it comes to cable.
