Countdown!!!

We leave for the beach Friday & it can't get here soon enough. I cannot wait to lay around & do absolutely nothing!!

Yesterday, Allison & I met to walk the lakes. We hadn't gone in 2 weeks. Everyone's been busy on the weekends  &  yesterday was no different so we met at 7:00 am. We also thought it would be cooler. Yeh right. It was 80 & really humid.

I had a ton of errands to run. Allison & I made plans to meet up for lunch & then a little shoe shopping. One of my first stops was Super Walmart. I went about 2 years without setting foot in a Super Walmart. I just hate that store. However, I needed to pick something up & I knew they had it & it was convenient so off I went. Want to know what that something was????
It's a CD. Yes, I know I need to move into the 21st century & just download stuff to the iPod on my iPhone but my Expedition is 7 years old & doesn't have an iPod hookup but it does have a 6 disc CD changer. Besides, this came with a DVD & a poster. I didn't know about the poster but when I saw it I told Dean I was going to hang it by our bed. He wasn't amused. HAHA!!! So, of course as soon as I get in the car I put the CD in so I can enjoy the boys while I deal with traffic. Yeh, not happening. I had 6 CD's in the changer so I ejected 1 & when I went to load the new CD it was stuck halfway in & out. Lovely. I got it out but the other 5 weren't moving. Not only would they not move, none of them would play. Great. We're only a few weeks away from trading in the Expedition so of course it decides to break now. Dean spent a lot of time today working on it. Those CD's are NOT coming out but he did get them to play. Someone, whether it's a mechanic at the car dealership or a new owner of my Expedition, is going to have quite a surprise when the CD's finally come out. There are 2 NKOTB, Fuel, Britney Spears & a religious one. HAHA! Nobody can say I don't like a variety of music.

I'd bought a Groupon a few weeks ago for a little store in the mall. I went to spend it yesterday. They had some cute stuff. I got this top.
Last week Wendy, Allison & I were looking at makeup on Sephora's website & we found some stuff on sale. It came in Friday & I love it. It has pretty much every color eye shadow I could ever need & probably some that I don't! 
It has eye shadow, lip gloss, eye liner, blush & bronzer. It's got a great mirror & that black compact looking thing is to interchange the shadows & blush to take with you when you can't bring the whole thing.

Allison & I met at McAllisters for lunch. It was delish. Afterwards, we headed to my favorite store, Shoe Station. UGH! I was so disappointed. I didn't find anything. That NEVER happens. Allison didn't find anything either. We were both looking for a taupe/light tan pair. We headed over to Kohl's since it practically shares a parking lot with Shoe Station. Look what we found!
Cute huh? We each got a pair. We decided to check out DSW just in case we found something we liked better. Everything we saw wasn't as cute & cost more so I think we did good. I did find something in the little clearance room in the back of the store. I've always been lucky in that little area. I got these.
These look black but they're dark brown. I love them & they're actually comfortable! While I was shopping Dean was crabbing with his dad. Once we both got home we went & had dinner at Monjuni's. It's one of my favorite Italian restaurants. They always do Groupon & Living Social too so that's nice. 

Today we worked in the yard awhile & then cooled off in the pool. If you want to call it that. The water was a tad warmer than ideal. I managed to catch up on the Housewives & then went to Yogalates this afternoon.  I never go on Sunday's but I really enjoyed it. I may make it a habit.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Toodles!
