Too Much Fun?

If you've been reading this for any length of time you remember that after so many years of marriage and being uber responsible, we're trying to take a little time each week to have fun. This is such a challenge. Seriously. We struggle to think of fun activities. Please feel free to leave any ideas for fun below in the comment section.

It has come to our attention that we may be the only people who have NEVER been to a Dollar Store. Yep, that's right, never been. We hear about it, never went. We figured it was full of junk. Now a new store has opened up right here in town.  Since we're in our very busy season and do not have much time for fun, we thought we'd grab an hour and visit the Dollar Store. If nothing else, we'd have something to giggle about.  Well, call us pathetic, we had a blast!

We had not been to this area of town in ages, so now we're up-to-date on everything there. It's a little sad because what once was a vibrant center is now dull. Plenty of empty store fronts too. We did find a parking spot right up front. It may look odd to some people to pull up to the Dollar Store in a Mercedes.

As soon as we walk in, we notice several women shopping and talking VERY loudly on their cell phones. And the clerk? He is a hoot! So cheerful, joking with all the shoppers. We were very entertained.  We grabbed a little shopping cart and started walking up every aisle just to see what we could possibly want to buy.

We did find plenty of junk, things that we are not interested in, etc. Then we found a few items that were fabulous deals. You need to know prices, but there were enough finds that we spent $19.35! We forgot our bags in the car and had to carry everything out and then put it in the bags in the trunk. We're not yet trained with the new bag law.

The fun didn't stop yet.......we went to Starbucks and bought lattes. Fun? Yeah, we can do fun!

Stay tuned for the next installment of fun...........
