MLK Monday

Today was the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. and most of the banks and courthouses and such were closed. Apparently, most of my clients assumed that I would be closed as well, because I went to my office and took a whopping three phone calls in the morning.

I had arranged to hold a meeting with a prospective client at her house in Fayetteville at 2:00, so I told Cindy and Kate that I was going to Fayetteville after lunch and invited them to join me for the trip. After lunch we hopped in Kate's car, turned the radio on to the WABE pbs station so we could listen to the MLK program from Atlanta.

After listening to the broadcast to Fayetteville, I dropped Cindy and Kate off at Target and headed to my client's house. After meeting with my client, I headed back to Target and followed Cindy and Kate around Target until it was time to buy popcorn and pretzels and soft drinks and sit down inside the Target and enjoy the afternoon.

Afterward, Cindy walked down to Marshall's and we took the bounty of Target back to our car. Afterward, Kate and I walked over to Marshalls and I noticed the shoe extravaganza sign above the entrance.

After spending an inordinant time in the shoe department of Marshall's, I showed Kate and Cindy a couple pair of shoes that looked good and they agreed and the I left them on layaway for later when I had more money. I didn't realize that my bank was open that day. Oh well.

Later, we drove over to ULTA so Cindy and Kate could buy cosmetics. Afterward, we drove back to Griffin and I heated up some of my shrimp and orzo from Sunday afternoon and went and bought a bag of salad to complete the meal. Kate and I did drive over to Dairy Queen for dessert.

Now, it is time to finish the day and head into Tuesday.
