It was extremely hot today (100 degrees!) and I just couldn’t get motivated to do much. Got up late this morning and then spent awhile on the phone with sister Sally. Finally decided to head off to Kohl’s in order to use the “Kohl’s Cash” that I got as a bonus when purchasing my new carpet and bedding set last week. I had $75 worth and wasn’t sure I’d find enough to buy since I’ve done so much shopping lately. As it turned out, it wasn’t a problem!

The tally is: 2 tank tops, a dressy top to match some pants I got last time, 2 bras, 9 pairs of trouser socks, and a new rug for my bathroom. In addition, I got two really cute little outfits for niece Harmony’s twins (who are due any day!) and a great housewarming gift for Vanessa! All of this wound up costing me $60 after my discounts and coupons!!! I am so hooked on Kohl’s, it is ridiculous! I really need to stay away from that store…at least until I get my next 30% off coupon!

After that I went to Lamps Plus to see if I could find some new lamps for my bedroom. The ones I have right now just don’t match the new decor. I found two that will work much better and both were on sale for half price! They are the same style, just different sizes. This is going to work well since I have a nightstand on one side of the bed and a small dresser on the other side. The smaller of the two will go on the dresser and the taller on the nightstand. This way they will both look about the same height since the dresser is taller than the nightstand.

And then it was off to caring for all the kitties! Amanda’s kittens were thrilled to see me and began non-stop meowing and purring. Both were up for lots of cuddling as well. And then I opened the can of food and they went nuts! I could barely get the food into their bowls before they began eating! I used the opportunity of them wolfing down their food to sneak out of the apartment. I was surprised that Christina’s cats were very friendly towards me. Peanut met me at the door and Izzy came out when I called her, allowed me to pick her up and give her the meds.

And then I was off to my own cats at home. Since it cooled off a bit, both were eager to go outside for a bit. When I went out to bring them inside I noticed a wonderful smell–the night-blooming jasmine is in bloom again! Hopefully it will still be blooming when Kevin, Soula and Robin arrive on the 14th.

Now I’m done on here so I can watch the live stream of Burning Man! He’s supposed to burn around 10 pm and I’m hopeful it goes off as planned. Last year it was almost 11 pm before it happened!
