Very busy day
Oct. 23rd, 2003 07:40 amI've got a busy day planned.
After breakfast bathe Alan and take a shower myself.
Off to the supermarket for banking (got the bank there). Then to Target.
Then to Alan's 1 year checkup (postponed from Saturday).
Then to the mall. Lunch, checkout the Gymboree sale, pictures at photo people.
Then off to our town's municipal court to fight a parking ticket.
I park somewhere after I drop Alan off at daycare to catch the bus instead of going back home and catching the bus there.
They had posted signs about not parking between 9-10 without a permit. All summer they hadn't been enforced - permit process not set up yet. (I'd called town hall to check).
So when school opened, I called again. I was told a letter would go out about the permits.
About a week later I parked there. Came home, got a ticket!
I'm fighting on the grounds that there was no notification about the permit process and if I'd heard, I'd have gotten one since I'm a town resident. Alan's coming along - after all I wouldn't park there if I didn't have him :)
Wish me luck!
And for some reason today I decided to make coffee in the coffee maker (I never do) and bake some bisquick biscuits I had in the house for breakfast. 3 cheese ones are yummy!

Well I went to the bank and then to the doctor's office. Oops. The appointment was tommorow. Had to reschedule his checkup for 11/1 as I don't have any more time off in the near future. Oh well. Went to Target. Alan fell asleep in the car and by using a stroller was able to continue his nap for a bit. Got what I needed there, even while arguing about the kitchen floor tile price. It was initially 325.00 but he first had me today at 600.00 --- got him back down to 350.00 (whew - I didn't want cheap linoleum again).
Then to the mall and Picture People. Next time, I'll dress Alan at home ( I had him in a onepiece outfit because I thought he'd needed to be undressed at the doctor and I wanted that quick). Shoot went well and I think I'll have good photos - I have to get them NEXT week, no time to wait an hour today. I also got some stuff at Gymboree and ran into someone I knew returning a pair of socks to Children's Place. Grabbed some McDonalds to go, stopped at the house (gave Alan some fries and a bit of a burger...he preferred the fries). Off to the Little Ferry Municipal Court. Lot of people there. Judge asked me to wait outside cause Alan was making noise. Then I wasn't sure if I was going to get called or not. Spoke to several police officers. Finally spoke to the one who wrote the ticket. After I explained nicely about being told it wasn't being inforced and little info about the permit. (Which I did get today, it was free) the officer ended up speaking to the prosecutor and it was to be dismissed. I went into the courtarea (Alan was asleep from being strolled around at this point). Then Alan woke up, and as I was giving him a bottle I got called. I asked the judge to wait a sec, he skipped me, did 2 other people and then called me. He did say something about making child care arrangements next time and I was dismissed. (What a grouch....and I did bring Alan on purpose as he was the reason for the ticket - no Alan, no need to park my car anywhere else to take the bus!)
There was also a wedding while I was there as the judge is there once a week. I wouldn't want to be married in the middle of parking tickets and other criminal stuff :(
Oh, I had ordered Merrell shoes for Alan from Sports Authority. Size 4.5 infant. They came today - size 4.5 BOYS. They almost fit me (I'm a 6 or 6.5, boys shoes run 2 sizes smaller). I almost kept them for me but they have a scratch on them. So I e-mailed Sports Authority to complain. Grr...
