Went over to Rand's mom's today to give her another ACT! training and update her database with the files I entered last week. Well my floppy decided to go bad right at that moment (even though it worked fine last night when I saved the files onto it) so I couldn't give her the the stuff and I really couldn't do much of anything with her on the exisiting (since if we made a bunch of changes, we'd have two conflicting databases - hers and mine.) So, we decided to run out and pick up some new floppies and ended up running to Best Buy and got some CD-RW's instead. Then, she says, "Let's run over to Ross" where we proceed to shop for the next couple hours. Her buying a bunch of cute houseware items for her and then, her taking me around to pick out some clothes which she bought for me. Wow. That was so nice of her. :) I got like five shirts and a pair of CK pants (which needed to be hemmed about an inch, which she pinned and is taking to get hemmed for me). She's such a sweetie. Wonder if it had anything to do with the fact I was wearing a shirt with holes (from being old and worn out) in it? *lol* Seriously, Rand says his mom's been wanting to go shopping with me for awhile now (he says like a year) and every time I see her, she's always telling me she was in the store or at the mall and was going to pick up some things for me, but didn't because she didn't know if I'd like the items or not. The joke is that she adopted my Love and I - which she's happy to say she did since we're extended family.
I thought that was so nice of her. She knows that we're not doing that well on money and that I haven't bought clothes in literally years (hence the holes in my shirt today) and she also knows neither my family nor my Love's has money and she wanted to help out. She also says she loves shopping with other ladies, something she never gets to do.
Anyway, that was just so nice of her. We didn't really get anything done work-wise, but I have a bit more to do for her (and some field inputs to change around a bit now that I understand a little more about the types of reports and such she wants to run) and it won't take too long. We made tentative plans to get together next Tuesday to try again for training.
I'm uber tired though and running a headache at this point, but I wanted to at least note that nice thing she did. If I don't crash to sleep, I might take some pics of the stuff. If I do crash to sleep (much more likely), I'll do it tomorrow. :)
