The plan was to go hiking. At least, that was the plan a few days ago. When it came down to it, the weather didn't cooperate, so we decided to go to target first and see if things shaped up. Once we finished at target, homegoods was right next door, so we poked in to see if there was anything of interest. Turns out there was. This fantastic sculpture andrea noticed in the sculpture section made for a good laugh. I took a picture with my phone, and actually managed to get it onto my computer. Sure, it's the size of a postage stamp, but if you look very carefully (possibly with a magnifying glass), you'll understand why we were so amused:

It's a statue of a golden foot being tickled with a feather by a golden hand. The best part's that the hand, foot and base are made of very heavy, solid material, and the feather's an actual feather- not a golden cast feather. Apparently nora almost choked on her gum when she saw it.
After leaving that store (with no purchases), we walked across the street to dsw and marshalls. We all got a pair of clearance shoes at dsw (mine are shiny blue!), and some gym clothes at marshalls- the theory being that buying new gym gear will motivate us to go to the gym. Despite not hiking, we got in lots of exercise. Both nora and i went to our gyms this morning while andrea trekked down to haymarket with et#1, and we must have walked miles and miles up and down aisles on our shopping trip. Also- the squats we got in while trying on many pairs of shoes will help tighten our glutes.
