It took us two days, but we finally finished Terminator 3. It was decent, but I'm glad we waited for the library copy and didn't see it in the theatre.

We also went into Madison today, because OfficeMax had a 100 spindle of CD-Rs, free after rebate. We also picked up a 24 pack of glue sticks (cheaper to buy in bulk, and we use them between collages and card making). Then we headed over to Michael's and I picked up 2 Double-Tipped Markers and a pack of paper (5 different earth-tone colors), for my card making. It was all on sale, between the store sale and a 50% off coupon.

Then we came back home to eat lunch and finish the movie. After lunch we headed off to Lodi for a farm toy show. We were disappointed since we thought there would be a lot of antiques there, but they had hardly any. It was all new packaged stuff... But DH did get to take some pictures (our purpose for going), even if it did cost $6 to get in...

DH went to bed early today because of the 7-8pm showing. And we have to go to a wake tonight for his great-aunt, that he's only seen a few times and that I have never met. We're going to drive MIL and BIL, since they have a really un-safe vehicle, especially for any travel more then around town.

I thought we were just going to stay around the house yesterday, but since the weather was so nice, DH decided he wanted to go to Devil's Lake for a hike. We met up with Jodi, Paige and Rob and had a nice two hour hike. Paige is about 11, so her speed of walking (taking breaks and constantly bending over for snow/trinkets) was perfect for me. They were going to go out to eat, and invited us to join them, but with DH's lack of sleep this past week, I thought it would be best if we passed.

We also did end up making it to the pet show at the library yesterday. DH took some neat pictures and the guy said Spyros could come over sometime to take more pictures.

I found out some sad news today, (some of you may care, others may not...) Angel will not be renewing for any more seasons. This will be the last one, so they have 9 shows left to tie it up as well as possible. The one positive note, this means there will be one less night of TV watching for me....

Simple/Frugal Thought of the Day: Get rid of your cable, or at least reduce your package. There are so many more things of interest to be doing.
I've also noticed since watching TV more heavily over the winter then the summer, that my dreams often incorporate the shows. This is not something that I enjoy.
And who really needs to see all those commericals. They are intended for one thing only, to make you buy stuff!!!
We've had only 6 channels (local ones) since this summer, and it's been more then enough.
