Sunday Funday with Cherrie

                                                          

                                                           Weekend Vibes ✨

This weekend I called Cherrie to see if she wanted to take a little trip with me to Norman, Oklahoma. It was time to stock our pantry for January, and I always enjoy having company on a grocery run. Of course, no trip like this is just about groceries—we had a little shopping and lunch planned too.

Our first stop was Ross Dress for Less. I was on the hunt for a new shower curtain for the bathroom, and while I was there, I went ahead and picked up a few new towels and washcloths. I also found a really cute shower caddy that hangs right on the showerhead. I decided I’ll add a 4-piece bathroom accessory set later to tie everything together.

I chose a dark blue shower curtain, which is way outside my normal comfort zone. I usually lean toward seashells or dolphins, so I’m not sure why my taste seems to be shifting—but I kind of like it. While there, I also picked up some white ankle socks for Mr. C. He’s been wanting shorter socks, so that was an easy win.

Next, we stopped at Burlington. Surprisingly, I didn’t buy a single thing. That doesn’t usually happen there, but sometimes it’s nice to walk out empty-handed.

                                                  

A trip to Norman wouldn’t be complete without stopping at Barnes & Noble. I browsed through the paranormal book section and flipped through Flow magazine for junk journaling inspiration. Nothing really jumped out at me, so I left without a purchase—and that’s okay too.

                                                 

For lunch, we headed to Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar for cheeseburgers and fries. It was just as good as the first time we ate there. I really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere—it’s a great place to slow down and visit.

                                                       

After lunch, we finally made our way across the street to Crest Foods. I usually spend close to two hours grocery shopping since I buy for the entire month. I use the AnyList app and print my list by sections, which helps keep me organized and on track. I’ve really enjoyed using this system.

Once we finally checked out, we headed toward home. I was extremely thirsty and decided I needed a stop at Sonic Drive‑In. Lately my favorite drink has been a Diet Coke with cherry and vanilla—it was so refreshing.

Our last stop was at McDonald’s on the tollway to pick up dinner for Mr. C. He always enjoys a Quarter Pounder.

Once we were home, we put all the groceries away and settled in for dinner. I was definitely tired, but it felt so good to have this big chore done for the month. There’s just something comforting about a full pantry and a well-stocked chest freezer.

Weekend accomplished 💙
