I'm such a good martyr..LOL

Talk about putting colour in MY world!!! ;-)
So he's 'sorry' we didn't get to the zoo.....and he's sorry he 'spent the weekend selfishly'.
I had to pause on that one cuz I wasn't sure if I was suppose to exhonorate him from responsibility or go for the gold! *snicker*

Well, gee--the 'suffering' I go through so the man can enjoy himself!

Yes, I had to 'forsake the zoo'.
*hand to forehead* What a horrid time of it I had with no zoo!
Alas......that left me with having to find alternative 'fun' to have whilst he visited with kindred hobbiests and had a grand time learning and meeting new people and having FUN of his own.

*snickering*
I did manage to tell him "Oh the sacrifices I make for YOUR happiness!!" LOL He shoved my shoulder (cuz he's kinda like that sometimes) and celebrated that *I* had adventures of my own of the GRAND kind!
Crown Center..... Complete with a Friday night outdoor concert and wonderful green tea to drink whilest being entertained all the way around.
AND there was a fountain for the kiddos to play in......ummm....and some adults..... :-)
Fun fountains outside of the mall that had the most FUN shops this 'adult' could ask for. Saturday they even had clowns! It was a mass of red nosed kiddos.....LOL
No, I didn't get a red nose, dangitall!
BUT--I got 'toys' from what had to be the coolest store IN the whole city!! Okay, well, maybe the coolest for grownups who aren't gonna grow up (like me)?
With THE hugest crayola wheel--the photo on top is one angle of the wheel, this is another of the same HUGE wheel.
There were a whole lot of angles....LOL I oughta know, I think I all but laid on the floor to see 'em. :-D
AND they had tubes FILLEd with crayolas---AND a crayola wrapping machine......and every kind of crayon under the sun.
I was in heaven. LOL
Okay, okay.......so the mall had other fun spots. Wonderful toy shops and gift shops and all sorts of nifty places to wander around in and look at.
TOO many, in fact.
I suffered my way through the couple of hours that I was there....
It was a tough job to entertain myself while he spent time having his own brand of fun...but I survived.
And I snagged a (errrrrrr.....) couple crayons, a t-shirt that proudly boasts "colours outside of the lines" AND I got a nifty keeno pirate magnet!

*hand to forehead*
Ohhhhhh the suffering I endure in the name of HIS happiness!
