So B was making me laugh a lot and just being generally very lovable :-) After dinner we came back and watched "Charlie Wilson's War" which was good but B fell asleep about 30 minutes into it... poor kid.
So today I needed to go and get a dress for my friend M's wedding in a couple weeks... I had bought a dress from Target but it just wasn't making me happy. SO, I thought I'd be productive and go early to Banana Republic and beat all the "after church" traffic. I got to the mall at 10:30am only to find out that it doesn't open until noon. WTF?!?!?! So I sat in Starbuck's for 1.5 hours b/c it would be such a waste of gas to drive back and forth again.
1.5 hours later I entered the mall and went up to Sephora b/c I needed to get some Bare Minerals stuff b/c I'm over liquid foundation as it always seems to make me break out and my friend N raves about said Bare Minerals... the lady at the store was super helpful and I got a great deal on some foundation, blush, "warmth", and this "veil" stuff... I wouldn't normally have bought the warmth or the veil thing but they cam free with the starter kit along with 3 brushes so that was a steal.
Banana Republic was next on the list to try and find this dress that I had seen on the website which of course they didn't have b/c it is brand new and isn't yet in stores. I hate buying dresses for this and so many other reasons. So I found another dress which was ok and I tried it on with about a thousand cardigans but then there was this sale dress that was way better but not in my size -- they called another store and found it in my size and I went there to buy it. I again tried on about a thousand cardigans but none did the dress justice so I just decided to use one of my pashminas as a wrap instead. I ended up getting a $150+ dress and a $50 necklace all for less than $60 because of sales and my $30 in rewards from my Banana VISA. Basically awesome.
Now, what wasn't so awesome was my quest for shoes. I am still shoe-less. I went to DSW but just wasn't having any luck. I'll try again on Friday maybe at a different mall. Wish me luck, I hate buying shoes almost as much as I hate buying dresses.
B is at work still so I'm catching up on Hawaii Five-O and other dvr'd shows. He is going to stop by here before he heads back for the week but I wish he wasn't leaving... it has been far to short a weekend. Hopefully the week won't be too long and at least I don't have to work another weekend for awhile. Only 5 more early morning weekends as far as I know based on the calendar. Starting in January I will be working evenings on the weekends so that should be interesting. Good because I don't have to get up early everyday for 12 days in a row but kind of bad b/c I will be basically out of the picture as far as making any weekend plans on my on weekends. Double edged sword but for some reason I think I'll be happier working evenings on the weekend just because my biggest thing is hating getting up early to an alarm so many days in a row.
Ok, enough for now I think. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekends!
