Mall day

I went to sleep Wednesday night dreaming of clothing stores and cute pants purchased. I love going to the mall, and Thursday was slated to be mall day. So I woke up as soon as I hear mom coming up the stairs Thursday morning, anticipating the wakeup call.

"Guys." She said. "There's been an emergency."


Ok, so what would you think if your mom came into your room at 8AM in the morning and said "there's been an emergency?" I was thinking, maybe somebody died, or my cat got run over, or Dad got something ELSE stuck in his eye. These are all reasonable things to call emergencies, wouldn't you say?

Well what would you think if I told you the emergency was that the rabbit we were watching for friends had run away? What would you think if I told you mom woke everyone up to form a searchline and comb the vast pasturelands of tall grass behind our house?

I'm no animal-hater, but damnit if I didn't wish that had been eaten by an owl or something. Kidnapped by racoons. It was more likey the thing was half-way to the next county by now. But there I was at 8 in the morning, looking for a missing rabbit. . .the popcorn of the forest.

Many hours later, after we had convinced mom to give up the search, Dad went to mow the lawn on the other side of the house, and scared the bunny out of some bushes. Liz caught him, and now he's in a high-security cage in the yard. And he better freakin' stay there.

Fortunately, after that "emergency" we went to the mall. Armed with some extra cash, I accomplished my goal of finding khaki capris and jean capris for the summer. Another successful trip to the Petites section. Also went to Deb's and ALMOST bought a shirt that said "BLING BLING" on it, because that is my favorite jive slang. But I backed down, and settled for some regular tops. So now, my need to shop is satiated.

Got our lease agreement for the apartment today in the mail. Dear lord, does it feel good to be accepted, and to know that apartment is indeed ours if we sign it.

Not much going on . . .just chilling and waiting to see EL DAVE soon!
