A perfect day foiled

Today was my day off. And scheduled to be perfect. I got to sleep in, so that was a good start, had some God time, so that was good, too. Then I decided to go online for a half hour before I ran to the bookstore.
Twenty minutes later my stupid internet finally started working. Which of course inevitably led not to me being on here for 10 minutes, but to me putting off going to the store even longer because I didn't have the self-control to stick by the original plan. (And not getting much done in that time, because the internet was still unsure of itself apparently.)
Finally I gave up and got ready to go. I stepped outside and it was absolutely gorgeous. Seventy degrees and sunny. Perfect. And I was on my way to buy a book for Bible study. And I had a coupon for 30% off. And I had a coupon for 50% off at Cold Stone. And so I made the wonderfully perfect plan to go buy the book, go get ice cream, and go sit outside somewhere enjoying myself completely.
Two Borders and one Barnes & Noble later, no book. Borders said they could order it for me and have it delivered to my house, so that's what I did, but it'll take a week and Bible study starts tonight.
While I was at B&N, I checked out their used section for a couple of books I want. I figured if I was going to be all disappointed, I could at least console myself with shopping. No luck there either.
Of course, by this time it was getting late and cooling off. I could've gone for Cold Stone anyway, but my mom was making a nice dinner, and I knew she would be disappointed if I skipped that to have ice cream for supper.
So basically, my perfect day ended up having no books, no outside, and no ice cream. I take that back. I did park as far as I could from all these stores so I could walk in the gorgeousness. Maybe I can't complain after all.

Gracious it's been awhile

And it will continue to be considering that I'm out of town and don't know when I'll next have access to a computer (and my cousin should be done blow-drying her hair any minute). Oh well. Not much to say right now anyway.
