She's not crazy, just a little misunderstood

Uber! Say it with me now 'UUUUUU-ber'

I was uber productive today! And I am very proud of myself.

The day didn't start out phenomenally, that's for sure. But things improved after lunch. I packed up my daughter and we made a trip to Wal-Mart for some groceries. Returned home with said groceries and set up aforemention daughter with a Yumster cup (Yoplait yogurt with popular cartoon character on the package) while I cleaned up a desk that my husband brought home and then put another coat of paint on a wall of the bathroom! Go me! After that, I decided it was time for coffee. While I did find a small cup of coffee in the refrigerator and was able to have a cup of iced-coffee with my lunch, I still had no coffee for tomorrow morning. So, off to Starbucks!

1lb. bag of Ethiopia Sidamo coffee beans
"Grande, caramel latte. Iced."
"Tall caramel machiato?"
"Iced. Grande. Caramel. Latte."
"Oh! Iced grande latte?"
"Iced. Grande. CARAMEL. Latte."

She made me an iced latte. I brought it back to the counter. Thankfully, someone with more brain cells had taken over and she happily made me the beverage that I had ordered. At this point, I was planning to head over to the ridiculously large Hallmark store across the way, but then I realized I'd left my $3 off coupon at home. Damn. My brother in-law's birthday card will have to wait for another day.
Now to the grocery store.
Why go to the grocery store when I already did grocery shopping at Wal-Mart?
If you've ever done grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, you know their produce sucks! They also don't have the really cool gumball machine that the other store has, which my daughter LOVES. We got a gumball at the start of our grocery adventure and made it through the store without incident. Chicken was $2 off and red sauce was buy one - get one Free!
I returned home to my husband, dog and cat, feeling accomplished.

I made excellent turkey burgers and decent potato salad for dinner. We ate picnic style on the floor in the living-room.
