SWEET!

On the way back from Suzy's soccer game tonight, I stopped at the grocery store because I needed some powdered sugar to make the "candy corn" recipe I want to make with the kids. Of course, one can never get just one thing at the store, and of course I needed some chocolate.

Anyway, THIS is what I came out of the store with: Symphony chocolate bar, bag of powdered sugar, bag of sour gummy worms, jar of honey, bottle of strawberry syrup (like for milk), 4 pack of food coloring, bag of chocolate chips, box of 6 donuts.

Notice a theme there? LOLOL SWEET!!!

I also went to the thrift store and got a few books - Webster's New Thesaurus, a Harlequin romance (research, you know!), Sisterchicks on the Loose (Christian chick lit), 3rd Usborne Book of Puzzle Adventures (out of print!), Were-wolves and Will-o-the-Wisps: French Tales of Mackinac Retold, The Ragamuffin Gospel. So, there you are. Or rather, there are my books. :-)

I'm excited about a new thesaurus. I depend on a thesaurus a lot for my writing. Yeah, of course there is one in my word processor, but the more the better, imo.

Oh yeah, Suzy's game went fine. We lost again 0-1. One of our players was not there. David ref'd the game again. He does a great job with it! Suzy was very tired and I pulled her out of the 4th quarter because she was just walking instead of running and she looked just miserable. I think the night games are much harder for the kids in general. We played a 6:30 game which ended around 7:30 - late for six-year-olds, you know! She needs more sleep, in general, I think, because she has been melting down every afternoon. I'm going to have to try harder to get her to sleep before the big kids.

Yes, I can imagine that an organized sport so late in the day is not so great!

Looks like you found some good treasures at the thrift store! I love hearing about the bargins!

Happy day to you!

I remember the first time I picked up a thesaurus...(dreamy sigh)...Are you writing a romance? Sorry if I'm not keeping up with your writing themes; you write a lot! (good for you!) Our soccer kids struggle with Sat mornings the most. Thank goodness soccer doesn't last longer than 6 weeks!
