Impulsive Friday

We started our Friday in the normal manner—Target. I remembered that sister Kathy had tasked us with finding Lou a better hat so that is something we decided to look for at Target. We found a couple that looked good on him. He chose a cloth hat over a straw hat for comfort and ease of use while traveling. We think it is a big improvement over his blue hat. Here is a picture—you be the judge.

I have never been able to find a hat that looked even partially acceptable on my head. Last weekend when Christian was here he was wearing a hat style that we thought might work. We saw a similar hat at Target. Since I am getting thinner on top I’m going to have to get in the habit of covering my head. So I tried on the hat and…. it actually worked (I think). So—impulse #1, I got a hat. Here is a picture. Thanks for the inspiration Christian.

After Target we were going to head right home, however, Penny suggested we go out to Barnes and Noble in Destin (impulse). Lou was looking for some inspirational children’s books and Target didn’t have any. Target did have a couple of books Penny liked for Sophie (impulse) and now we own them.

We headed out to B&N. While there we found several audio books at a good price for us (impulse). We needed to buy cat food at Petsmart so that came next. Poor Brie has been spending most of her time in our bedroom instead of sitting in her window watching the backyard. With Lou in the house she is afraid to venture out. I guess I feel sorry for her because while in Petsmart I decided to buy her a kitty drinking fountain (impulse). I’ve wanted to get one for a while because I think they are neat but I couldn’t get past the price tag. Today they were on sale and since we were being impulsive I got it.

Since we were already in Destin and we had a visitor with us it almost seemed natural to go to Harbordocks for lunch (I’ll still label it as an impulse). Lou treated us and we were fortunate enough to be there when they had Cobia. Lou and I had the Cobia and it was fantastic. Lou, who 1 month ago had Grouper for the first time and said it was the best fish he ever had now said the Cobia was better than the Grouper. He’s going to be so spoiled with Florida that he’s going to want to live here soon. Florida is like that.

On the way home Penny asked to stop at a linen sale (impulse) that we saw on Eglin Pkwy.

Back at home I set up the water fountain for Brie and she promptly had a drink. She started by tapping the stream of water with her paw and then licking the water off of it. Eventually she just leaned in and drank from the stream. It was satisfying to see her take right to it like that. It gave her a little diversion from the intrusion of her territory that is occurring.

Tomorrow is Waffle House Saturday (NOT an impulse).
