when i got up this morning, mom asked me if i wanted to skip work and go to the mall w/ her. i really wanted to. the mall she was planning on going to has a build-a-bear workshop. i love B-A-B. but today was payday, which means it could be busy. but usually on paydays, all the customers buy lots of food, which we bag, and give us small tips. so i decided to go to the mall. tomorrow should still be busy. and usually the not-cheap tippers come the day after payday.

first we went to shopko, and i got some cool mittens. they are black w/ pink rubber paw pads and claws on them. i love them. then at the mall i got the purple halloween cat, and a masquerade mask for her, and named her jessica. so now i have 12 bears, 4 cats, and 1 turtle from B-A-B. mom got the camo bear and gave it a nascar shirt, for dad. being air force, he wears camo as his uniform, and he loves nascar. we named him sarg. and she also got a purple cat, cause she loves cats too and purple is her fav color. we named her lily. she has 3 bears and 1 cat now. i stopped by hot topic to get more pins for my hat. i don't like that store. the screaming music gave me a headache, and it's vey dark. but they are the only place w/ very good pins. then bath and body works, and i got some more shampoo. we ate lunch, she went to JCP and i went to borders. came home. i organized all my B-A-Bs, put the pins on my hat, watched some tv w/ mom, and napped. when i got up, i put mindy back in her princess dress. i wanted a pic of her in it and her hat for my screensaver. getting it over her head is easy. the first arm a battle, the second arm a war. then i took my 2 exams and a quiz now i'm going to go maake dinner and watch survivor, then bed.
