What a Day!

Yesterday was quite a day!

We started off with doing some shopping for Fred and Connor. Fred needed some new work clothes and Connor needed new flip flops, so off to Kohl's we went. Since we were going to the west side, I also wanted to stop into Bed Bath & Beyond for some more "Huggable Hangars" (I LOVE those things) and while there, Fred bought me a foot massagers for an anniversary present. He said it's a gift to him also because if it truly works, he won't have to give me foot rubs anymore. :)

The boys wanted to go to Best Buy too, so while they were there, I popped into World Market to see if they had any paper lanterns (which they did). I want one for our master bedroom.

As we were driving out west, we heard on the radio that Farrah Fawcett had died. Not unexpected, but sad none the less for her family and friends. May she rest in peace.

Once back home from our shopping trip, Connor and I decided to go to the pool.....it was lovely....We love going around 4:00-4:30...all the damn day care kids have left and a good portion of the people who got there at noon are leaving also. Spent a refreshing couple of hours there and then back home.

Fred and I went up to Hy-Vee for steak dinner night and to pick up a few things. While in the checkout lane, I heard the cashier and another customer saying something about Michael Jackson dying....WHAT??? I hadn't heard at that point, so as soon as we got back home, I flipped on CNN and yep....Wow....I was stunned.

I know alot of people have vilified him on his supposed child molestation, but I can't help thinking about how talented he was and how much I enjoyed his music. We are almost the same age (I'm 11 months older) and I grew up with him and his music. I still have some of my Jackson 5 records and "Off the Wall" will always be my favorite Michael Jackson solo album.

It was a sad day for the entertainment industry.
