The Weekend

Saturday, DD1 went camping with her Brownie troop. She was very excited, and appeared at my bedside fully dressed at 7 a.m. DH took her to her leader's house, since I was semi-comatose.
The three of us made our weekly pilgrimage to Target where! I found a new pair of workout pants for $3.47! I love saving money.
DH wanted to take the new car on a road trip, so we went to Brenham, about 40 minutes away, and ate at the airport. Thanks to ninaloca.com -- this list that tells you fun and/or cheap places to take your kids in Houston -- I knew that the restaurant at the airport had a) waitresses dressed in poodle skirts and b) awesome burgers and onion rings. Then we shopped a little bit in historic downtown Brenham. I found a scrapbooking shop which was, surprise!, going out of business, and bought a few things since they were 20% off. DH found a Conan comic book at an antique store. DD2 still had $12 of her Christmas money left, but couldn't find anything she liked that was under $12.
The funny thing was, Friday was Crazy Hair Day at DD2's school, and she hadn't taken a bath Friday night, so her hair was still spiked, orange, purple and green. I'd gone to DD2's school on Friday afternoon to be the Mystery Reader, so I'd sprayed my hair purple as well. I took a shower Saturday morning, but the purple was still there in a pinkish sort of way. DH was wearing one of his Iron Maiden t-shirts. So, there we were, in small town Texas, two of us with multicolored, spiked hair, and one wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt. We fit right in.
