Minneapolis, Minnesota yet again

I know you all think we are in love with Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Well the funny thing is that we haven't seen that much of this city (except for the inside of the Apple Store).  We have spent most of our time running errands.  Today was no different.  We spent the night in the Mall of America parking lot.  We thought for sure we were going to get a knock on our door telling us to move.  We made it through knock free.  In the morning I decided to go for a run in the mall.  I'm not sure how much of a mile each floor is but it sure seemed far.  I ran the first floor and then the second.  After the second I was told by a security guy that running was not allowed so I walked fast around the third floor and around the second again.  I really enjoyed exercising in the mall.   It was rewarding and motivating in many ways.  First, I get to window shop.  Second, I see clothes I really like and it motivates me to run faster so I can fit into them.  Third, I was the youngest exerciser in the mall (there were quite a few other mall walkers but they were much older and quite slower) this made me feel more in shape then I really am.

After the mall we went to IKEA for lunch.  I remembered they had kid meals for .99 (when you are on a budget .99 cent kids meals are a big deal!)  After lunch I headed back into the mall.  I once again had to go to the Apple/Mac store.  I have come to learn that a visit to the Mac store always lasts at least an hour.  Well, this one lasted over two.  After the draining 2 hours I left with my phone working and a new hard drive to store all my photos and everything else that has eaten up all my memory and caused my computer to drag.  

Well, you may be wondering why I picked such a weird poll topic!  Well, I guess I was thinking about hair since my hair has been driving me nuts.  So I made an appointment with a hair dresser that I knew nothing about and went in for a hair update (which basically means cut and color).  My new hairdresser Stephanie was really great and I cut my hair to my shoulders (don't worry I didn't go black this time, it's still blond).  I really like it and am glad for the change.  I feel like my hair is so healthy again and also so much cooler for the hot humid weather out here.  I will post a picture when I get one taken.  So if you had planned to pick me for the haircut pole I suggest you change your vote.  After my hair appointment we hit Best Buy again (I know it's very sad how much we go there) and then went to Target and bought Peyton a bike!  It is a 20' frame and it does not have training wheels.  We are going to be very busy the next week teaching Peyton how to ride a bike.  My dad told me that he taught me by pushing me down a steep hill (Dad, by the way, I never believed you).  We will keep you updated on his progress.  We are back sleeping at our other frequented store Walmart.  Tomorrow we will finally be leaving Minneapolis.
