   Kinda tired tonight...

Well, it's just past 11:00 pm on Tuesday for me. I'm a bit tired tonight. I didn't sleep well last night. I guess I was excited or something about my plans for today.

Yep... I had a "me day" and did a road trip to Omaha!!! I was in a little bit of a pissy mood last week when I saw my schedule and that I have only three days this week, I decided I was going to go to Omaha if it was nice out. The forecast for today was for it to be sunny and in the 50s for temperature. I pretty much decided I was gonna do it around 11:30 on Sunday night.

So...here's what I did today:
1. Got up around 8:45 am (way early for me!) and got ready to go and was on the road at about 10:10 am.
2. Got to Omaha around 12:30 and hit the drivethru at Burger King on 28th & Dodge for a couple kid's meals.
3. Went around a few blocks to get back to 26th & Dodge to where my sister works. Yes, we had BK kid's meals! I actually ate the whole thing, which is rare, because I really don't like BK's burgers that much at all.
4. Went over to West Omaha to go bug the girls at New Horizons. Did precisely that for about an hour. It was great.
5. Went to Dick Blick Art Supplies! Woohoo!!! I forgot that they moved across the street from where they had been. I bought 5 colored pencils. Yay!
6. Went to Borders on 72nd & Dodge. Was appalled by the orange and red color scheme in there. It's rather gaudy. I showed great restraint and didn't buy a thing. I could have spent a bunch, but I didn't!
7. Went to my sister's house to see if I could help my brother-in-law unscrew-up a Word file he screwed-up. Couldn't figure out what he did, so I had him email it to me to see if I can figure it out on my own. Haven't had a chance to do that yet.
8. Went to the Mall of the Bluffs for food and a walkabout. Ended up with Kung Pao Chicken and Lo Mein, with an eggroll on the side. Did not show restraint at Barnes & Noble. Bought a copy of the novel The Prestige and a magazine. Then went over to HyVee and bought a Coke and a candybar.
9. Stopped at BP to buy gas and left Council Bluffs for the drive home.
10. The drive was a pain. I think that's why I'm tired. There were so many people heading toward Omaha and I got tired of the glare of the headlights. I think that's why my eyes are dry now.
11. Got home around 9:30 pm.
12. Now here I am.... typing away at this. I still have email to read, but I think I may just space off the rest of it. I wanna go up to my room and play Tales of Phantasia.

My cat is being a big pain in the butt right now. She's on the table next to me!!! She is actually laying on the power thing for my laptop!!! I'm gonna have to get the canned air to get the cat hair out of the keyboard. *sigh*

Laters!
