When I got up this morning I felt like I had spent the night rehearsing for a part in the Exorcist. My neck was very sore and stiff so I decided to opt out of the aerobics workout this morning. Colin figured he was feeling well enough to head out for the day so after walking the dogs we headed off to Corpus for some shopping.

Our first stop was Sam's Club to buy some bulk items and we were hopping to find Scallops there for Colin's birthday dinner. They had none of the smaller Bay scallops that I usually use only great big ones and then they only had 4 bags of them. We were also looking for bulk Feta Cheese but they were completely out of that. We did however manage to spend over $10o dollars so it wasn't a wasted trip. Next stop was the Dollar Tree for a few things and then on to Joanne's Fabrics. By this time Colin was deteriorating so instead of spending about 3 hours in Joanne's like I wanted to I spent about an hour. I bought some fabric and notions that I needed for projects I have planned and then I went out and met Colin in the coffee shop.

Some of our friends had told us there was an HEB Plus (grocery store) at one end of town and we were hoping that we could find our Scallops there. It is a wonderful big store sort of like a Super Wal-Mart but I would say a little heavier on the grocery end. They had the scallops we wanted and when we told him that we wanted 5 lbs. he said we could buy a bag. The bag was 5.8 lbs. and they only charged us for 5 so that was a good deal. They also had the dog food that the dogs really like so we stocked up on that too.

When we were finished it was time for dinner so we stopped at Sirloin Stockade, it was good as always and we probably ate way too much. By this time Colin was feeling kind of crumby so I volunteered to drive home. Since we have very little freezer space we were hoping to get back in time to put the scallops in the Clubhouse freezer.....we squeaked in just in time and were able to get them in there.

We have not left the dogs by themselves much lately so they were very happy to have us home again.
