como zoo mold-a-rama

there were various things on my list to do today, as I was taking a day off from work. one of those, but not the first thing I did, was to go to como zoo in st, paul and get a mold-a-rama souvenir. I chose the seal. it reminded me of visiting san Francisco as I saw some seals on the pier, barking it up and enjoying the sun. it is my third, and it is red like the scale model ford mustang. now I am wanting to out it on my list to get one during my annual Chicago visit early in the new year. but where? so many to choose from in that city. when mine was being made at the zoo, a little girl who was there with her dad liked watching the machine. I said 'that is so cool!' but it sounded like she wanted a different animal, maybe the polar bear. it was all I really did for this zoo visit, besides go to the bathroom.
   the first thing to do today was to get an oil change for my car at the dealer in  inver grove heights, same place where I bought it in june. CNN had stories about the deaths of carrie fisher and Debbie Reynolds. other things done was an air filter, brake light bulb, and wiper blades. then on to the zoo, and after that lunch at bobby and steve's. I was confused with the problems on wanting to redeem points on my loyalty account, there was a new employee involved. but it ended up with me keeping my points and getting the godfather's pizza and juice for free, so I am not complaining about that. then it was on to the Roseville library where I wanted to get started on writing something for one of the organizations I've joined, an annual submission. there was printed online articles to look at, and the previous writings I had sent. I can get it typed up and submitted the next day. no real deadline that I was made aware of, even after asking about it, but I am giving myself one.
    I did watch an episode of 'big bang theory' tonight, but just the prime time one. it was about Sheldon giving Bernadette a fun day that she wasn't getting since she's pregnant. then after this I went to an event I was invited to from facebook, one of the open-mics I just started going to. the food was good, but I was getting annoyed with some of the comics there who wanted to workshop jokes and try to turn everything into a joke. I don't feel the need to be 'on' all the time. they probably all were new comics, but that is not an excuse. I liked hearing the event coordinator share about being an instructor at one point in her life.
