The first thing I did was clean the bathrooms. And tried to straighten up a little. Then I got ready to some some errands. I went to Walmart and Northpark. I was looking for a new pair of pants to wear to work, but was unsuccessful. :( After the shopping, I headed to Edible Arrangements!! I read somewhere if you became a fan of Edible Arrangements on Facebook they would send you a promotion code to get a free box of the chocolate dipped fruit and I won one!!! I was pretty excited about it because it was free and I had never even seen something from them. It ended up being 6 pieces for fruit: two strawberries, two slices of apple, and two flower shaped pieces of pineapple! Here are a few pictures:
The bag!
The box!
The fruit!
I decided to have one of the apple pieces first, and it was so good! This little box of fruit would have cost me $15. Which compared to a place like Godiva, this is cheap! If I needed to buy a gift for someone I might get this. For what it is, it's relatively inexpensive and would be a unique gift.
This afternoon, I decided to go with my friend from work, Robin and her two children, to Boo at the Zoo. I was really upset with myself because I forgot my camera and my $1 off coupon at my apartment!! But by the time I realized it, it was too late to turn back.
It was lots of fun! When we first got there, I got a little worried that they had put all the animals up, but some of them were still out. We walked over just about the whole zoo, some places twice! They had trick or treating throughout the whole zoo for the kids. I even managed to get a few pieces. We got there right when it started, and left before it got dark. Although we missed a few of the bigger events, I was grateful, it was going to get really crowded (people were having trouble finding parking). And I was glad we left when we did.
Later tonight I rented another Redbox movie (I had a free code) and I rented The Way We Were.
Staring Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford. This movie was always on the "classic" movies you need to see, so I thought I would get it. I thought this movie was depressing. The ending was sad, if you're in the mood for a good cry, I would recommend it.
I ended the night at Cups. I had received an e-mail with a promotion code to get $10 off the Rock 'n' Roll New Orleans Half Marathon, and it expired at midnight on Halloween. So I'm registered for this half-marathon!!! I very excited about this one, because it's going to be flat flat flat!!! Yea!
The New Orleans half is awesome! It starts at the Superdome and goes down Burbon where all the drunks still up from the night before are cheering you on, and then it goes down St. Charles Ave which is awesome because you see the marathoners coming back (well, I did, since I was walking) and then through Audubon Park where they have an awesome water stop. :) You will like it very much!
