The blog thing of this week....

So....yesterday was Easter Sunday. It was nice in side but rainy and windy outside. I woke up at around 10 a.m. which is strange because I was awake till four in the morning taking care of the drunkin group of friends at my house that night.....who thought it would be the coolest thing just to stay up all night and be really loud and attempt to exicute the moon walk for no apparent reason but to say that is what they did with their weekend. Anyways, I woke up at this time and was happy that eveyone had left and I would have a nice quiet Easter Sunday.
I got up and threw on some clothes, that didn't make me look like I had just rolled out of bed, and I went to Safeway to get some eggs and a color kit to dye eggs. To my surprise, there were no kits left; so I decided to go to Target......it was closed.....closed? So I decided to go to the Shop'n Cart. I figured that there weren't enough people to even shop in the run down store so there had to be color kits there. Sadly I was wrong.
I asked the woman at the counter if there were any color kits left and she just shook her head and told me to go to Walgreen's. Tired and ready to give up on my childhood tradition, I drove across town and strolled in to the Walgreens. I followed the aisles of candy that would soon be discounted and forgotten all the way to the egg coloring kits. There they were! Yes!
I grabbed the only one I could see wasn't made by Disney and headed for the egg aisle.
With my kit and my eggs I walked up to the counter and purchased my items. It surprised me when the woman said that I was lucky that the store hadn't cut the budget like the other stores.
Wow, budget cuts on childhood memories.
