Managed to stay up until 10, but still woke up at 4. Darn! Stuffy head, thirsty.

Looked through some more cookbooks yesterday morning, while Amelia finished up a knitting project. Captain took Vanessa to exercise class and then went back and picked her up.

After lunch, Amelia and I went to mail the last package. No guarantee that it will arrive on time, since I wasn't willing to pay $21 for Express Mail. Sorry, Nicky, but it will be worth the wait. On our way, we stopped at Target. So many people buying so much crap, it makes my skin crawl. They did have a 2-burner hot plate that we bought. Not sure where I could have gotten that locally.

While I was standing in line at the Post Office, Amelia was shopping next door. We had to stop briefly at Coldwater Creek, where they were having 50% off for the next 10 days. Didn't see anything I had to have right away, but may go back later for some corduroy pants.

Then we went to JoAnn Fabrics, where Amelia bought lots of fabric for some upcoming sewing projects. I bought a couple magazines, one with recipes for party foods, one of knitting projects. We got some groceries at Kroger and came home.

Amelia made potato soup--it was pretty good.
