We don’t tend do much during the week because of work, but Wednesday we decided to go to Red Robin so Joe could cash in his free birthday burger. He’s been
training for a run in September, however, so I actually got his burger and he got a salad. I was feeling adventurous so instead of ordering a regular cheeseburger, I got their Banzai burger which has teriyaki sauce and a big pineapple ring on it. I was feeling a bit apprehensive about it until the burger arrived – it was delicious! I think I’ll be ordering that one in the future. Yum, indeed!
Before leaving the mall where the Red Robin is located, we stopped at Payless and Joe got a nice pair of shoes for only $12. I liked the look of these grey leather boots they had but they were uncomfortable and a little pricey anyway at $35. The Payless is right outside Macy’s so Joe tried to convince me to buy the purse I want but even if it was included in the 20% off Kipling sale (the sign was by the small purses only), it still would cost $60+ which is too much. I need to sell the wrong purse Amazon sent me since after complaining they told me to keep it and credited my account! At least then I could put that money toward the purse I actually want. Knowing my luck by the time I get around to that Macy’s won’t be carrying it anymore. I don’t know why they won’t just let me exchange it. I get they didn’t sell me the other purse but does it really matter when they are going to likely send it back to the manufacturer?
After dinner we decided to let the new baby rat (whom I’ve named Gizmo) out to play downstairs. I had been covering half the couch with a blanket and a large towel but that little stinker wants to run over to the uncovered portion of the couch. Then it occurred to me that since he’s still small and doesn’t jump, I could cover the coffee table with the towel and put him on there so I did that instead. Then I was telling Joe how impatient I was feeling about introducing him to Milo, so we decided to just go for it. He has not shown the slightest inclinations of sickness and all his littermates were healthy too, so I really hope I don’t end up regretting that decision. Introductions went well although I think Milo was getting a little tired of the baby after awhile as he spent a good portion of his time tucked away in the large wheel I set out and there was a small fight when the baby tried to join him in there. No blood was drawn, however, which is a good sign!
Thursday after work we ran to get some delicious steak tacos from El Famous Burrito. I had never eaten at the chain until earlier this year when a coworker mentioned they do $1 tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now I’m addicted because they are the best steak tacos in the area and you can’t beat the price! We’re not fans of the seating arrangements there, however, so we took the food to go.
After eating I put Milo and Gizmo together on the coffee table again and apart from a small squabble over the wheel, they got along fine. I had them out almost three hours. They both started getting sleepy, so I put Milo back in his cage and a little while later Gizmo fell asleep for a bit on the coffee table. He’s so adorable!
