Billings Day Trip!

I had a fabulous trip to Billings today...full of errands, which were all completed resulting in a great sense of accomplishment. Plus, I squeezed in some time for self-indulgence.

My first stop was at the Quick Stop drive-in for a kids burger, fries, pop (as they call it here), and a twisty cone....needless to say, I was STUFFED. It's a fun place where you can sit in your car or picnic tables while you enjoy this culinary delight.















Some fun art work at the Drive-In.

Once in Billings, I had my route mapped out - literally, I still get turned around there....that's one of the worst things about a move, learning the new roads! Thank goodness for Google Maps.

So, first major stop was Alpha Graphics to pick up the fabulous brochures I designed for my Dad's custom home building business DW Custom Builders.....it took a while to get them perfect, but they are as close to perfect as they're going to get - I may be biased but I think they're beautiful!

Then, I hit up: Office Depot (to get fun holders for the fabulous brochures and signs I made, just in time for the Home, Health, and Garden Show - more about that to come ); Old Navy (fabulous clearance rack...among other things I got two great cable knit sweaters for $1.47 each! I felt like I was stealing! I also got a black skirt for my new serving adventures at Bridge Creek Restaurant (more about that later too). I then got my oil changed and my car washed all for only $35 at the Subaru dealer (it used to cost me $70 in Valdosta!) I think this is the first thing that cost less here than in Valdosta. While they were finishing my bargain priced oil change, Shelby and I went to.....Starbucks! I think this might have been my first in a long time - oddly enough, it was like no time has passed at all. Yes, I know I'm sad.

Then, to top it all off - I went to Target....ahh, Target. No worries though, I behaved and only got items on my list. I topped the day off with dinner at The Rex....great outdoor atmosphere - my food (seared tuna) was just okay, but it was an enjoyable evening none the less.

So, all in all, a very productive and enjoyable day!
